Weather

Lovely afternoon yesterday and today looks promising then it is all downhill from then on I believe with much needed rain in the forecast. Have to finish the gutters and soffits today, scaffolding down and then it it will be time to fly.
Be back soon, enjoy your travels and household chores, have a great day. 

It was lovely start to the day but as the morning passed it became heavy with a threat of thunder. By lunch time the thunder started followed by heavy rain for about an hour. That saves my watering duties and the garden smells nice and fresh.

Didn't look as if the 97% chance of rain was going to happen here so I walked down town about 1pm (market day here and its a good market), coffee in Costa then home but about 1/4 mile from home the thunder started then the rain. Luckily I had taken waterproof jacket just in case but it didn't make a lot of difference,  I was paddling inside my trainers, trousers soaked through to the skin, literally had to peel them off when I got home. Couldn't have been wetter if I'd jumped in a river fully clothed.

I can relate to getting soaked to the skin. My father was walking on Coniston fells on a lovely summers day. To his surprise the rain came down in bucket loads. He didn’t get chance to put his waterproofs on. When he got to the car park by the lake his pockets were as full of water as were his boots.
A lady walking past said” Did thee fall in the lake old fella”. To make matters worse he had to drive all the way back to West Yorkshire in his MG in wet clothes and a sulking wet springer for company.

Bright start after overnight rain, 14°c risingvto 21 or 22°c later. Unfortunately we also have rain forecast for mid afternoon onwards. Wish the BBC weatherpeople would stop telling us about the weather at the tennis and cricket, we want to know what happening where we live, thank you very much

Happy travels GH and all others on the road.

Horrendous rain overnight, woke me up a couple of times. Starting to dry up now. Van mostly loaded and ready for the off on our anniversary tour. Just the fridge to fill and management's mobility scooter to load.

Looks we will get warm rain in a variety of locations, change from sitting at home watching it.

Safe travels to others on the move

A warm but overcast day here. After muttlies walk we decided to tackle removing the slate clippings from one of the flower beds ready for sowing some grass seeds. Managements has the idea of giving muttly some grass for his needs. We just got started and it rained for about ten minits.
Now I know why we put the slate down. The soil is a cross between concrete or clay. No matter these grass seeds are supposed to be for rough ground.

We had another thunderstorm and stair-rod rain for about half hour this afternoon, just like yesterday.

Very warm but blustery wind at the THS, Sun has been shining most of the day with just 2 minutes of light rain around dinner time, Sat out side with a beer and the BBQ

Sunny pleasant drive down through Scotland,  dark clouds sitting over Lake District as we approached Gretna,  rain started at Shap and was torrential by the time we reached Tebay at 6.30pm. Lovely evening now, set up for the night at Tebay caravan site. Off to Broadway CMC site tomorrow

12 degrees and overcast with the forecast saying it's going start raining later and not stop all day.  Enjoy your trip BB.

The forecast rain yesterday never arrived and we had a fantastic red sky last night. 16°c rising to 22° later but the wet stuff won't miss us this time.

Happy travels to those away.

16 now rising to 19.  100% chance of rain today, I'll not be ignoring that today like I did on Saturday.  In fact entire week has strong predictions of rain every day. Not looking like a good week.

Overcast and windy but not as strong as yesterday , rain forecast for most of the day but dry at the moment, a trip out today exploring again on the Isle

We seem to have entered November already. It’s a miserable grey wet day and the wind is strong - the type that regularly brings down tents pitched on exposed sites.

The wind has picked up tremendously and gusting 43 to 48 mph the awning is flapping about abit but standing up better than a few others as the wind is hitting the Van side first, good news is it’s sunny and the wind has blown the rain away

13 degrees and it's going to rain all day with the possibility of thunder and lightning this afternoon.  Think I'll go back to bed - oh no, wait, RATS.... it's a work day.

A very calm morning ,clouds look a little grey and full of rain , weather forecast is for wall to wall sun today, do hope so as boat trip hopefully to puffin island and the Menai Straits for a few hours

Calm here as well, although the wind wasn't strong yesterday the sound was amplified by the trees. Managed to get what for me. Is a prime pitch next too steam railway so looking forward to some train spotting this morning while management has post breakfast sleep, part of her fibromyalgia.

Have a good day

Overnight rain here, butts half full, pond nearly full so must have been a bit.
Cloudy and overcast here now with rain forecast for 1400 which is precisely when we plan to walk to the town for a haircut!!

It might struggle up to 18° but it dies not feel warm at all. Overcast and there will be rain on and off all day. More worrying news yesterday of bird flu killing gulls off the Stonehaven coast, hope it does not spread.

Take it easy and happy travels if away.

The Sun is shining between the broken white clouds, boat trip booked so hoping it stays like this as it changes so quick , watching the rain clouds blow by on the south side of the isle
