See https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/ce8dnznxyj8o UK▸ thunderstorm warnings: Heavy rain, lightning and hail mark end of warm spell
After the settled and warm spell of late summer weather many of us have had over the last week change is on the way. The Met Office has issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for Friday and Saturday. As well as the risk of lightning, some places in southern England and Wales could see as much as 50mm (2in) of rain, bringing the possibility of flooding and transport disruption. This is in contrast to the past week with temperatures above average and for some in northern Scotland, the warmest spell so late in September since 2019.  Heavy showers and storms will start to develop on Friday, in central southern England, the Midlands, parts of Wales and especially south-west England. Gusty winds and hail may accompany the downpours, with the possibility of local flash flooding. Later in the day, the storms are expected to fade. However, another spell of storms is forecast to reach the south coast of England in the early hours of Saturday, with more downpours spreading across England and Wales throughout the day. On both days, the thunderstorms will be hit or miss, meaning that some locations will escape them altogether. However, where they do occur, as much as 50mm (2in) of rain could fall. Taunton, in particular, please note.  |

Lovely sunny warm weather in Brighton today. Was hoping to start a tan ready for my trip to Crete tomorrow, though I think I may have overdone the SPF. 15 was probably too much but it's not that easy to find anything lower these days.

Taunton, in particular, please note. That's where I'm headed today after enjoying a week of glorious weather in Scotland. |

Customer Advice
-
We have been informed by the Met Office that severe weather is forecast in the Dawlish area on Sunday the 29th of September. The main weather front is expected to hit from 1500 until the end of the day. This is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds. This means we are having to make some alterations to our train services.
Customers are advised to check their journeys before setting off to travel. We are advising customers to travel as early as possible on Sunday the 29th.

On the other hand I had a very nice cycle along the Thames from Staines into London. But all the small ferries; Shepperton, Sunbury etc were not operating.
Thames was high and flowing strongly but the sun shone.

I'm not sure when it was announced but GWR▸ at least have sensibly eased ticket restrictions on this to allow people to travel early.

Possibly not weather related, but it might have gone a bit pear-shaped at Dawlish, as a Cardiff-Penzance train is spending an unreasonable amount of time from Dawlish Warren and there might be about to be a queue of other trains waiting on its progress and held at Exeter.
