According to the Met Office, who know about such things, next week's weather is going to be a bit wet and wild. Particularly so for Wales and the North West. It is being speculated that as much as 100mm of rain (around four inches), two months worth, could well be dumped on us over the next week. It comes courtesy of three weather systems that are about to blow in from the Atlantic, the first on Monday, the second around Wednesday-ish. The arrival of the third weather system, which is possibly the most interesting, depends on the progress of Hurricane Wilma which this evening is positioned in the Gulf of Mexico and is revving up for an assault on Florida! BazF and JohnW, watch out! It is the remnants of Hurricane Wilma which we will shortly be welcoming to these shores.

The Met Office is expecting flooding as the rain strips leaves from trees which will in turn block drains.

Get your Wellies out and your sandbags filled; Autumn is on it's way!
