Wet one tonight! (London)

If you want to know what's likely to happen in the next few hours, keep an eye on the MetOffice rain radar. No messy predictions, just data on where the rain was for the last six hours at half-hourly intervals. That'll let you guess for yourself...

Nice site, handy.

Didn't commute in this morning as Friday = pub day!

Saying this, if things ever get a little boozy and I miss the last tube time, I always end up slurring to minicab drivers that quote extortionate fares exactly how far away I live (to the .1 of a mile) and how ridiculous paying that amount for that specific journey is. If my senses are still about me I'll hit the night bus back to Balham... hopefully the driver behaves or he might get some in-cab tips on how to properly handle cyclists on the road ;-)

didn't get too wet going home last night apart from when i stopped at leyton traffic lights lifted my head back and a trickle of COLD water ran inside my helly down my back and into my ass crack. the ride in this morning was fun. lots of puddles to splash through

Lobbed it down this morning on the school run. My kids didn't mind (my daughter loves the rain in fact) and the bonus was not having to fight those daft scooters currently being locked to the stands under the bike shelter.

Downside was the increase in traffic around the school and general lowering of driving standards...

Was soaked by the time I got back to my home-office but I don't mind; it's just a bit of wet

Yup, the ride in this morning was proper wet! By the time I got to work I was soaked, even inside my rucksack was wet... and that was with the (allegedly) waterproof cover over it!

Still a change of clothes and a coffee on arriving at the office and everything is fine. Co-Workers all seemed very impressed though, like riding in the rain is some sort of superhuman feat. I don't think I will try and correct them on that!

Lucky for you guys.

Some people still got caught out in it...

you can probably tell I wasn't in the best of moods for rubbish drivers.

www.raintoday.co.uk is better

Well yes, but only if you pay for the enhanced data. Best of all is to get their app on iPhone - WeatherPro by Meteogroup. German innit, what do you expect.

The big bonus then is that you get data for every 15 minutes, they process it a little better and IMO more accurately than the MetOffice, and it shows what is rain, snow, hail, etc.

Cycled in, in the wet. Dry and very warm on the way home. Wet roads though with fallen leaves.

I'm missing the cold. It's meant to be nearly Winter!
