This hateful nauseatingly awful winter keeps on plumbing new depths. Yet another hideous write-off weekend. Yesterday was supposed to be a fine day but it was another vile overcast day with rain. Today about a thousand times worse.
Yes, it's an even more revolting day than last Sunday. 3C constant rain and 40mph SE winds. It's beyond the pale. Hard to imagine how it could get any worse than this but always a possibility when stinking awful filth like this

appears in the model output. Third crap birthday weather in a row for me if that lot verifies
Should be an even worse week than last week which was the grimmest yet from this unceasing pile of excrement of a winter. Probably no more sun for the rest of the month now and there has only been 8 hours in the past 9 days. Rain every day since the 12th. No big rain totals nor any fine days just consistently awful day in day out.
I don't know what the hell we've done to deserve this but it is really starting to look like we may see the worst ever winter just 18 months on from the worst ever summer. I don't keep a winter index like I do a summer index but a simple measure to assess the worst ever winter would be to calculate the proportion of wind from the SE quarter and whatever comes out top would be the worst.
