@PaulBlight6 Over 300mm in month of Jan so far in our gauge on western slopes of Salisbury plain 🙈💦

maximum Gusts (aside from mountains) 81 mph Orlock Head 76mph Isles of Scilly 74mph Plymouth 74mph St Bees Head 67mph Berry Head Rainfall has been extreme . 28 hrs from 09z on 26th to 13Z on 27th , 107mm at Whitebarrow , 74mm near ottery in East Devon. For the month, Whitebarrow now on 18.64 inches for the month , the area in the SW and south above 8 inches has now expanded up towards Salisbury Bournemouth now on around 174mm or nearly 177% of normal, with more rain expected we are likely to end on around 200% of normal, Why reservoir levels in the SW are quite so low is quite baffling.

A fast moving coronal mass ejection (CME) means the northern lights may be visible overnight, and perhaps on Tuesday night too The arrival time of the CME is uncertain, but aurora sightings are possible in northern Britain and perhaps in southern areas depending on cloud cover.

@turfcareblog Phrase of years gone by! Possibly “friendly” village clubs will do this but if playing decent level there’s always tasks to do when weather favourable

Not really, no 😁 turfcareblog.com/should-we-be-p…

@turfcareblog Got some for the weekend thanks Brian Will give it a bash Hopefully the rain helps Sunday to wash in

@dcb151 I can’t recommend it officially tho l not accountable to anyone but have you tried purity

3 weeks between images after spraying off 🌱 Nice first cut by a colleague👍🏻

@turfcareblog I’ve since got the hose out and it’s improved the germination a bit but worms have gone crackers 🙈

@dcb151 We have been watering and had some rain after seed anchored in - got lucky

@Evs3392 @SwanseaCS Hope the weather is nice again for visit to warmy in a couple of weeks Great club and great bunch of lads 🙌🏻

The day has come to say goodbye to @SwanseaCS ❤️ A history bigger than winning or losing, a home for everyone and anyone, a club filled the with heart and soul that will live on with the people who make it exactly that. #CricketFamily #POYO #YOTS #UPPACIVIL ❤️❤️❤️

@GeorgeDobell1 The guy cutting is chatting to someone He hasn’t finished mowing yet 🙄

So, here’s the pitch just over an hour before the toss. Kinda looks like the mower broke down halfway through, no?

Someone in south west getting some much needed rain @fergieweather

@Groundsman77582 @UKLabour 🤣🤣

@UKLabour Rather drink wood stain you shower of cunts

Bring change to Britain. Vote Labour on Thursday 1 May.

@boxmike_ @InternetH0F “Calm down Arnie you’ll give yourself an heart attack!”🤣🤣

@mitsyarty @Jacky___P @RoyalFamily And Colonel of the Welsh Guards for years too

@Jacky___P @RoyalFamily King Charles was the Prince of Wales, he should have posted something. Good on William though.

Wishing all Muslims in the UK, the Commonwealth and around the world a blessed and peaceful Ramadan. #RamadanMubarak

@Groundsman77582 @MatthewStadlen Is that Sidney Bernstein ??🤣

Win after win after win for Starmer in America.

@andyjh1965 @stephenjones9 That’s bollocks!,people pay silly money for tickets at twickers and surely want to be entertained That was shite from England yesterday They may have the players but you’ll never know playing like that!

And very sorry but I don’t buy this stuff about England finding a way to win it. It’s rubbish. Scotland found far more ways to fail to win it. Not just Russell’s conversion that he would normally have put over in his sleep.

@Groundsman77582 @Keir_Starmer He needs to step up and resign the deluded twat!

@Keir_Starmer Fuck off you absolute bell end

We are facing a once in a generation moment for the collective security of our continent. This is the time for us all to step up.

@Groundsman77582 @bbcquestiontime Clueless Hag!

“She is probably the best qualified Chancellor that we’ve had for a considerable period… she is a trained economist” Labour’s Jacqui Smith defends Rachel Reeves, who is facing question over the accuracy of her online CV, saying her “value” will be proven on the job #bbcqt

@Groundsman77582 @GuillermElodie Too right,biggest bunch of cunts ever Lefty wimps

@GuillermElodie Labour

@melon2711 @The_Forty_Four 🤣

@The_Forty_Four Bet the groundstaff loved this 🤦‍♂️

Man United held a training session after the game. This was them at 10:45pm😂😂😂

@ChrisDSmyth @NickJF75 I wonder this too,they must all work inside!…country will come to a standstill as it can’t cope with cold we do have 🙄

@NickJF75 Genuine Q - Why do all you weather twitter love exceptional cold? We have had 4/5 months of horrible cold that causes endless misery and makes life a battle for survival for months and you all want even more, and even more severe, cold. makes no sense

Not falling for deep cold easterly teases on offer from the 12z GFS and ECMWF for now, GFS 10 days out & EC 13 days out landing a deep cold pool from the east. The models have teased us a few times this winter, only for it come to nothing. The block to the east looks likely but may sink too far south to bring deep cold. More runs needed...
