Weather

Morning all,

Tony said it all.  Heavy rain and quite a strong wind but at least it's a bit warmer.  Eldest daughters birthday today so will be paying her a visit later on.

Pretty wild weather last night with howling winds and persistent rain. It's off just now but there's more on the way later this morning. Only upside is the temperature will get to 11°c so at least the rain will be warm Looks like we're in for a battering tonight with storm force winds hitting us.

Take care folks

Rain till 6 am, good walk with Tag and back in for porridge , sun out for the time being ,moving all the garden furniture and wheelie bins inside the garage ,ready for this storm.
Have a good day.

Enjoy the trip Dave.
Dizzy heights of 11 degrees this morning, wind not as bad as expected. Not a lot on today, getting bits out for the vacation and a trial run to see if everything Lady G wants to take will fit, carry it all over, then back, doubt much of it will see the light of day in between.   
( I am in trouble if she reads this )

Have a great day all and take care in the storms 

Lots of rain overnight but dry just now with more rain expected. 11° and wind ramping up.

9 degrees and raining and the forecast is for much of the same all week.  At least the frost and ice has gone and the temperatures do seem to be on the increase.

Heavy rain and really strong wind here, getting stronger as the day goes on. 85mph wind forecast for 9pm.

Think that's the storm hit us now - gale force wind and the rain is battering against the windows  Think I'll need to dig out the earplugs tonight.

Rain battering the windows for last 4 hours, occasional strong winds but not yet as bad as predicted.

Heavy rain showers with the gales ramping up, no damage yet, hold on to your hats boys. And girls.

Morning Boaby,

Rain has stopped (for now) but still quite gusty.  7 degrees at the moment.  Small fence at the side of the house looks as if it's had it but I'll get a better look later on when I get home.  At least there doesn't seem to be any chasing after wheelie bins this morning.

Take care all.

Yes, hope everyone is OK. Wheelie bins were blown over and flower pots took some damage but nothing serious. Found a roofing end cap but couldn't see any missing on our house, discovered it belongs to our neighbour. Still wet and windy.

Cheers folks

All trains were cancelled so didn't manage into the office today, working from home instead.  Wind has eased up but it's still a bit drizzly.

Couple of fences down round here but doesn't seem to be any serious damage, even the wheelie bins were upright.  One of the girls at college with my Daughter sent her a photo this morning - a tree had been uprooted and landed on her house, and it doesn't look like it's a small tree either, luckily no one was injured.

Morning Folks,

6 degrees and dry but forecast to start raining later on with gusty winds reaching 50mph later this afternoon but temp supposed to reach around 12 degrees.  Looks like all the trains are cancelled again this morning...

Take care all.

Yes more disruption on the transport systems. Trains will be off from 7pm tonight until lunchtime tomorrow because of the next impending storm Jocelyn. There is a countrywide weather warning for strong wind gusts and heavy rain.

Keep safe folks

12 degrees, grey and a few spots of rain in the air. SW breeze but nothing to worry about, we seem to have escaped the worst of the storms in the far South West. Good day to tidy up the garage and catch up on some of those little annoying jobs I keep forgetting about.
Have a great day all

Good walk with Tag down the promanard and back for rolls and bacon earlier , rain started around 10 ,so it's a box set day.
Have a nice day, take care in the storm.

Dull, raining (just for a change!) and wind building again. Another day stuck inside.

8 degrees and dry at the moment but still quite blowy.  Wasn't as bad as Sunday though.  Not supposed to get much warmer today.

Was quite surprised yesterday when I went out for a bit yesterday.  Couple of fence panels blown down was about all for the woodwork but there were 2 brick walls that were destroyed, one being at the local Tesco car park, hopefully no one was parked beside it, and the other on a main street where the full wall had blown over onto the pavement, again, hope no one was walking by it at the time.

Take care if your out and about and take a hard hat just in case........

Yes, seems to be improving with winds moderating and becoming quite dry. The temperature should get up to double figures later too. I had to go out yesterday too, main problem was the number of flooded roads and debris of all kinds. Several main routes around us were closed off, presumably because they were blocked. I also saw a large road sign, the kind on two substantial metal poles, snapped off at the base. Fortunately it fell away from the road. I'll be happy when we're seen the last of these storms.

Take care folks.
