Well its raining as promised, but where is all the wind we were forecast?
The hatches are all battened down but it appears all for nothing, at least where i am. As I said, pouring with rain but not a breath of wind.
Has ANYONE got these dreaded gales then? :-/
nope, no rain here, just glorious sunshine!
You would do would'nt you legless ;D ;)
The trees look absolutely still outside. It's chucking it down, but none of the dreaded hurricanes they've been promising.
Very wet here in Glos, but not even breezy! ;D
here in Berkshire, latest weather report is that the gales will hit tonight.
All quiet here too, just raining. I even left a note on the kitchen unit reminding my daughter to close all the windows today - just in case! Perhaps this is the calm before the storm.
Just to update:
Here in Dorset the sun is trying to come out and the sky is looking a lot brighter. So rather than getting worse the weather seems to be getting better!
This is the null - wait for phase 2 tonight! (Glos)
West country seemed to have suffered last night?
Don't tempt fate? I've battened down the cloches. = Tim
Glorious here in West Yorkshire mild. sunny and i am about to do some gardening for the first time this year.
Just said on our local radio that we have missed the worst in Sussex, and it is battering France and the Channel! (glad I am not on a boat today :-X!) DP
Here in Northants rained this morning nothing more than a shower and sun is trying to come out nice and bright hope the storm has passed us all by
Big wind last night here in our part of Essex, and it wasn't just the sprouts we had for lunch yesterday! Plenty of twigs and branches littering the pavements and roads. however, no wind during daylight hours, altho plenty of rain! It is running down the road. Nope, as I look out of my study window I can see a couple of pigeons sitting on the top of my willow, heads down, resting and a perfectly still tree.
Very windy in Sheff yesterday, and hailing/raining in fits n starts (which made lighting loverly bonfire quite difficult) - wouldnt say it was gale force though....
OK folks so we seem to have everybody elses bad weather here in good old West Lothian. :-/ It 's really windy and it's chucking down pea sized hail. :-/ It is so cold and dark - not too nice at all - I'm fed up - bring back the sun please!
Nice and sunny now but definately quite breezy :)
No wind in London, not outside anyway!
........ Quite a bit of rain but has stopped now, and we've had a few glimpses of the sun.....
.......... isn't our weather great?.......
oh look - the sun's shining.
I wish I was at home so I could potter round the garden. :'(
No rain here in Tamworth today (staffordshire) managed to get a bit of digging done. I do not think these weather forecasters could tell you what the next day is going to be ::) :o
still still ;D
Looks like you were right Tim, the wind is picking up and it`s nothing to do with sprouts! ;D
Must be in the willows then! ;D ;D ;D
Kate
I think you`re right Kate ;D
am on chat if you feel like it
Got woken up this morning at 3am by what sounded like a steam train thundering past the house (Cambridgeshire) - it was the wind and rain. Thought that everything was going to be uprooted or blown down. We're still standing though - no serious damage.
Well its here!and i'm flying tomorrow i hate flying in this weather.I'm not the best air passenger when its calm.
thar it blows.
Boy it's windy today. I was almost blown across the road earlier. I hope it stops by tomorrow or I might get blown off the horse!
BB, hopefully, by tomorrow will have blown itself out! Fingers crossed for you, I'm not a happy flier either!

Very gusty in Essex today :o. I love the wind, so long as none of us have to go anywhere and can all be together enjoying it! Ava is out on his motorbike, so I worry, number 1 daughter at school, so I worry, number 1 son on school bus, so I worry! Blood pressure through the roof! :-/ However, those pigeons are still perched on top of my willow tree, altho they do seem to be hanging on for dear life!
Patience is a virtue, as Lyme Regis - for one - found out yesterday!! = Tim
Dorset today:
Last night and this morning wind and rain but wind not as bad as predicted.
By mid morning the rain had stopped, and by midday the wind had died away completely,
This afternoon we've had blue skies, sun, and a gentle breeze. very pleasant :). Wish I had been home - i could have got out in the garden (for about the first time this year :(). Nevermind eh!
Now the wind is starting to get up again and clouds are building from the west. Probably for the next lot tomorrow! Typical!!!
