Newcastle in the Rain by onewing

Newcastle in the Rain

An early start today because David had a medical appointment in Newcastle.

It bucketed down when we got there, and the weather got worse than shown even in this photo.

At one stage we could hardly see the road, even with the wipers going full pelt. Luckily, we got home in one piece.

Raining now we are home too but not as heavy as Newcastle and it has only just reached us. I think we are in for a rainy week though.
Apparently it's going to rain all week here too. It alternates between pouring, drizzling and atm the sun is out...very hard to predict.

Looks like a very hard rain!

A lovely rainy shot and I sure am jealous when I see this!

We have had no significant rain since October. Everything here is so bone dry and brown.

Glad you’re home safely. We had rain like that again yesterday but fortunately we were home.
May 6th, 2024  
Wow! That's wet. Glad you had a safe trip

It makes for a good photo, but a bit scary having to drive in it.

It's doing that here today too, but then it would. It's a Bank Holiday! Glad you made it home. I know that sensation of the wipers not being able to clear the screen quick enough in a deluge. Quite unnerving.

Very atmospheric shot. Too bad to drive when the rainfall is heavy. Glad you got home safely.
May 6th, 2024  
So well captured.
May 6th, 2024  
It does look a bit wet.

Pouring here too. Love your rainy photograph.

Looks like some serious rain. Cool shot.

Oh..it's raining...there's a surprise! Bank Holiday staple weather! Surprisingly we have sun! Great shot
May 6th, 2024  
Goodness! Glad you're safe home but great photo of the weather!
May 6th, 2024  
A few weeks ago that could have been here! Nice depiction of your deluge!
May 6th, 2024  
Looks very chilly
May 6th, 2024  
Such a trip can be nerve-racking
May 6th, 2024  
An unusual shot for you Babs….i expect rain is good though. I know when I landed in NZ I brought the Lancashire rain with me for one day!
May 6th, 2024  
Oh my, that’s no fun
May 6th, 2024  
Great shot! Sums it up
May 6th, 2024  
Wow. I’m glad you got home safely.

Cool shot!

@annied I think I have had enough of rain now.

@loweygrace @illinilass @edorreandresen @dide @casablanca @susannah365 @tiaj1402 @beryl @corinnec @joansmor @wakelys @pusspup @robz @marlboromaam @jeremyccc @sangwann @briaan @johnfalconer @aq21 @mittens @angelar @carole_sandford @carolmw @k9photo @rensala @beverley365 @shutterbug49 @bobbic Thanks. We heard on the news last night that Newcastle had 110 mm rain and when we got home our rain gauge only said 7 mm so we got off quite lightly here.

In case you are wondering what is in this picture, the red blob on the left is a Shell petrol station and the yellow structure is a coal loader.

@ludwigsdiana I am willing to share, I have had enough of rain now.

@ollyfran I remember it always rained on Bank Holiday in the UK.

@happypat I bet they were pleased you took your good old Lancashire rain with you.
May 6th, 2024  
That's definitely a wet day

Pat
A great image of your rainy journey.
It can be very draining on the nerves driving in these conditions I think.
Glad you’re home safe and dry.
May 7th, 2024  
Driving home in rain like that is always nerve-wracking!! Glad you made it there safely.
May 7th, 2024  
A miserable day to drive any distance.
May 7th, 2024  
@365projectorgchristine @pattyblue @olivetreeann Thanks, it was quite scary on occasion driving in torrential rain. Luckily the sun is shining again today.
May 7th, 2024  
I really like this rainy day shot...very moody! Glad you got home ok!
May 7th, 2024  
Sure don't like driving in rain like that. Great shot.
May 7th, 2024  
Terrible weather but lovely capture.
May 7th, 2024  
I find it very scary driving in rain like that. We've had another day of mainly grey skies with the occasional shower
May 7th, 2024  
@kjarn It was quite scary at times, especially when idiots were speeding and overtaking us in these conditions.
Sunny today and I even got the washing dry
May 7th, 2024  
We haven't had much rain at all but nor have we seen any sun. They are predicting another very wet weekend
