Britain braced for commuter chaos as mega-storm is set to dump a month's rain tomorrow

Commuters have been warned to beware treacherous conditions tomorrow as Britain braced itself for a massive storm.

Forecasters say the autumn's first major storm will roll in off the Atlantic around midnight - and lash some areas with a month's rain in a single day.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for Wales and the South-West until tomorrow evening, saying that around two inches (50mm) of rain is expected.

Bring it on I say and don't hold back a drop.

It must be one of those "dynamic weather fronts" that I always see in SH3. Prepare for two and a half weeks of stormy weather.

Probably more like....STEED broke into a fiver and the shockwave has affected the weather front

Tabloids and accurate weather prediction don't mix.

See THIS from a week or two ago.

A month's rainfall in a day? What is a month's rainfall for England? 250mm? (1" in old speak)

Sydney will take it if England doesn't want it, I would love to see the dams full!

250mm = 10"...on that basis you should be experiencing severe flooding instead of near drought conditions
