This is rather captivating Weather Map

Hoping folks travelling this Christmas time don't have too many problems. Our weather station has been busy today so far 31mm of rain and wind gusting to 59mph pressure now at 962mb and falling 2.2mb per hour. Being sheltered and inland makes me feel for folks on the coast taking the brunt...

Damn!!!! I just remembered football is frowned upon here. No pictures then :D

Before I go any further this is NOT an attempt to be racist/poking fun/etc in any way. I read this recently and thought it was quite funny. I hope you all take it totally in the spirit in which it is intended.......which is '100% light-hearted'. "Our weather is like Muslims.....it's either...

Loads of people are talking about how bad the weather's going to be next month, some say -15 with loads of snow, my pops has always told me to make sure i have a blanket, few bars of chocolate, shovel & sml bag of grit in the boot, as well as full battery on mobile, but of course if your journey...

If you have to go to work then this is a nice way to do it. Cannot wait till 5pm

I have a C55 with Xenon lights. Most of the time they work just fine but I've found when the weather is cold they will flicker slightly and then you'll get these intense flashes when I assume they go out momentarily and then start back up again. I thought it was just the right side doing it the...

Steady run down from manc to London.. Quite impressed with mpg so far :)

Has anyone else noticed an improvement in mpg over the last couple of weeks coinciding with warmer temperatures? I just filled up this evening. 525 miles and 30 litres to brim the tank again...... Yes the roads have been a bit quieter on my commute due to the school holidays but thats about...

Weekend again,raining and windy,not cruising weather with the top down,how much longer do we have to wait.Half way through March now and the year is slipping away.I think o:wallbash:ur weather is getting worse,so many extremes now.

Am i correct in saying that the engine will hold on to gears to warm up the oil in the gearbox and engine quicker in the colder weather?? As this morning traveling round the m25 i was doing 55mph and was nearly doing 2000rpm (5th gear) temp gauge was up to around the 70 degree Celsius mark so...

This has happened four times now in the last 2 months during this cold weather. When I say during cold weather, it has only happened when the car is covered in frost and the temperature has been below zero overnight... I come out in the morning and go to put my bag on the back seat but the door...

As per my other thread on convertibles, I'm after some specific information on how the SLK is to drive in all weathers and seasons. I looking at a R172, but all SLK views are appreciated. I've had a few convertibles, but all at the budget end of the scale and all with a canvas roofs In winter...

I'm off to Colchester today but could do with a 'live' weather report before I set out. Its a meal out with a load of couples and screaming children so I could do with an excuse not to go but if the weather is ok I can't really use the snow excuse. Route: M25 J23 to 28, A12, Colchester...

Hi all. My 1997 W202 (1.8 petrol) starts and runs perfectly until the outside temperature drops below zero. When the car is left overnight in sub-zero temperatures, it doesn't start (without me heating the engine bay with a hot air gun which is not really a viable long term solution) The...

Hi, My indictors flash too quick in cold weather. Colder it is, quicker they flash. As the car warms up the indicators gradually slow down to normal speed. All the bulbs work. I wire wooled all 4 bulb holders but no joy. Any help would be much appreciated.

Over the past few months my Comand system will suddenly mute for no apparent reason. This is coupled with a flash of the all the Parktronic lights on the top of the dashboard. If you leave it, the sound comes back after a few seconds or so (maybe 10-15 seconds). If you turn off the system, or...

We had an almighty thunder storm yesterday with heavy bursts of rain and hail. When my brother went out to his BMW X5 later on he found all 4 windows had decided to open themselves half way leaving a bit of mopping up to do. Anyone heard of similar tales?

Or professional! Are we actually going to get a summer this year? I know it's different in other areas but as soon as they announced a hosepipe ban it hasn't stopped raining. Anyone able to read the tea leaves or the oak leaves and let us know?
