Quote: Originally posted by Mucker1884 on 10/6/2015This time last week, we had a weather warning for our target area for the Friday (Day of arrival/pitching). Thunder, lightening, and localised flash floods. The warning covered noon to 7pm.

We travelled in decent sunshine, with fluffy white clouds above. It was similar when we arrived on site, and remained so throughout the rest of the day. The site owner said they'd had "3 drops of rain" earlier that morning, then the sun came out and stayed out.
Admittedly, we were on the top edge of the affected "warning" area, being the whole of the South and East England. No idea whether the forecast was more accurate further down.

I can't remember the last complete weekend camp without any rain whatsoever, but that's what we got last weekend.

We, for two, are glad we ignored the forecast!

The warning was very accurate in Ipswich. We had massive storms one after the other from 8am until about 11am. Even had a power cut at work and the net got knocked out for a good couple of hours. Just goes to show how localised weather can be!
