It's been a while since we had one of these but an extreme Atlantic storm has set it's sights for the UK

Warning from Metlink Weather Centre

A strong Atlantic storm will bring very heavy rain and very strong winds and gales to most of the UK late on Sunday and through into Monday. Risk of disruption is high due to the high risk of falling trees and powerlines. The Scottish Mountains may experience severe blizzards from time to time.

To be honest, I wouldn't complain as much if we had decent summers... You know, June July and August pretty much guaranteed to be hot and sunny, but at the mo winter seems to last from October until April then we have a few months of overcast skies (albeit milder) then back to winter again!

I need to emigrate I think! :)

Sheffield totally flooded in two freak storms in recent years. Not sure how anyone can say I'm disrespectful. I was in the thick of it. But as far as storms go you have to say we get off lightly as far as the rest of the worlds concerned. If you're worried, stay home and keep as safe as you can. Just be sensible

Yep, I understand that. But in severe storms, if so dangerous, it's actually expected that you stay home and don't risk your life. Last winter we actually had calls and warnings to stay away from jobs and school etc unless in emergencies. It just puts pressure on emergency services
