3 days in from my last forecast and no real change. It's not looking

Monday and it is likely to continue at least into next weekend, as
the jet becomes anchored in a southerly loop, with the UK to the
north.

A depressing outlook with summer following only a week, or so, later.

I'd describe this one as "very accurate"; fair?

Yes.

If I was being picky I'd say that there hadn't been any flooding but
that's only because I've not heard of any. It wouldn't surprise me if
there had been.

The Devon County Show had to be abandoned, for the first time in its history, because of waterlogged and muddy car parks yesterday. No third day. The disappointment was etched into the organiser's face on Spotlight last night. Does that count?

Of course it counts.
That's the thing about local flooding, it is, well, 'local'.
And with it being local it won't get a mention on the national news so
unless it hppens in your area, you are unlikely to hear of it.
