[trevskoda]

Anyone with a spair lifebelt, lashing here through the night.

What's the Portuguese for Dreich ?

.

Dreich, with a Portuguese accent.

 

[runnach]

Windy and wet, it’s been tipping it down here for most of the night.

Almost finished changing the fridge roof stack to a periscope and fitting more powerful wipers for the underwater navigation from Zafre. The dove drowned as I opened the hab door to let it fly in search of dry land ...

[Val54]

Clear blue and 5° with a slight breeze, an improvement over yesterday's rain and hailstone.

 

[The laird]

I've heard storm Norman is the cause of this weather
Recliner on decking now where's the banjo

 

[HurricaneSmith]

We had a beautiful start ........ briefly. Now we have strong winds and light rain showers for the rest of the day.

 

[2cv]

It rained earlier but bright and sunny now. 🌧️️

 

[Pauljenny]

Clear blue and 5° with a slight breeze, an improvement over yesterday's rain and hailstone.

Do you want to borrow my smug filter, not been used for a while.
And looks like I won't need it for a bit longer


13 degrees max. Real feel 10.

Unbroken grey gloom overhead,
Strong showers crowding in from the SW.
Very necessary.
Mustn't grumble.

Very kind offer Paul, but now down in Staffs where it is persisting down

We had about 15 minutes weak sun and virtually no breeze on leaving Zafre; just enough to lull us into a false sense of security ... Then the Q8 fuel station had closed, and it was squeaky bum time until we found a station on our side of the road, on the Seville Ring Road thingy, by which time I was down to about 10 litres of diesel plus the warning light reserve, because the wind and rain had hammered the fuel consumption something rotten! Then back to crosswinds and driving rain, followed by driving rain and fierce crosswinds for a little variety ... And when we arrived at Antequera, all the Aire spaces were taken, so we're in the cheap seats round the corner with a 500m round trip to reach the services. Does wonders for the step count, though!

[Pauljenny]

Good decision to go out today.

The current Thunderstorm has come as a complete surprise.

Emergency lighting on standby

 

[runnach]

Just back from checking MH, blowing a hooley, and rain bouncing of the roof

 

[Val54]

Quiet grey start in Staffs after yesterday's downpours, around 6° now rising to a wet 12° later, at least the trout don't mind

 

[HurricaneSmith]

After a light morning shower it's going to brighten up considerably, with gusting SW winds and probably top 12 degrees.

 

[2cv]

Another beautiful sunny morning with a chance of a shower later. ️🌦️

 

[marchie]

The rain is heavier than it was yesterday, and is bouncing off roof and body panels, making a noise like, (I imagine), is similar to two skeletons having sex in a biscuit tin

Solar had started brightly, but has now dropped to zero; it's hanging around in case it's needed, but we both know it won't be ...

[Pauljenny]

Thunderstorm was spectacular.
Friends living nearby but on a hilltop, had snow.
None of this was forecast.
Today they tell us to expect showers this morning, wind chill of 9 degrees , from SW. Moderate winds.
So!
We've blue patchy skies and nothing moving the branches.

 

[runnach]

Fire brigade here pumping out the basement, the basement pump is knackered, hence the flood.

I could have opened up an aquarium
