How did the drains down in South Ulverston cope?
Any news?
I've got footage of what happened here in the centre of the town.

Weather forecasts
Are the ones provided here totally fictious.
At the moment they are in total disagreement with those on the bbc site here
Are forecasts for this area totally unreliable?
The only one worth looking at being here which tells you the actual rain up in the sky now.
Why is so much money spent forecasting when the results are unpredictable.
The first one - the met - forecast a downpour of 9mm the other day with only 1% cloud cover. How come? A very localised rain cloud or rain that whistled over at a furious pace so that on average only 1% cloud cover existed.
Mad?
Is this site a total waste of space and even worse providing totally misleading information.
Are we not better just looking up into the sky and making our mind up - or better still does it actually matter much if we know in advance? If we get wet - so what?

Having reliable weather information
Jack alerted me to this wonderful site for the next 12 hours of weather.
It actually tells you the radar information for the rain clouds actually in the sky over the last few hours. But with this you learn to estimate where and when the rain in the sky is going to be over the next few hours. Spot on to the nearest km or is it still mile?
Far better than these secondhand forecasts - it's good fun guessing for yourself - as we know, the human brain is a powerful computer when trained with experience! Far more intuitive than any computer so far - well it's good to think this!
So my prediction is that at 8:00 this evening there will be a light sprinkling of rain all of which will have gone by 9:30 - it's now 4:30 !

Hunkering down while the weather rages
Let's hear if there's any help needed as result of the rain.
I have access to dry temporary accommodation in the town centre.
