Weather Report..................

[Val54]

Dry and bright morning, had a train trip to Bath where it clouded over and started to rain at 2.30, 30 minutes earlier than the forecast. Back in Bristol its still raining as we batten down for the approaching storm, we are just on the edge of the Met Office red alert which is due to peak around 03.00 - 05.00. Should I take the silver screens off .

All part of the Motorhome adventure, Dave.

Park the van nose on to the weather, and enjoy a rock and roll night.

Our biggest adventure, today, is the setting of the air-conditioning timers, as its due to fall to 10 degrees, overnight.

Worry not, The finest Brandy is less than £ 19.
I'll survive.
It's already 11 degrees outside,
The streets are deserted and I'll not need rocking off to sleep.

Westerly 30, gusting 60 and raining. The temperature is 9 degrees, forecast to drop during the day as the wind increases, so not a day to be on the moors fishing

The storm wasn't as bad as forecast, but definitely dreich. Today, we've more of the same.

Wet but no wind (yet!) and relatively mild up here in NE Scotland.
Meanwhile at the other extremity our daughter in law managed to get back to Guernsey from a night out in Jersey on the only flight that landed this morning. She says it’s an excellent way to get rid of a hangover.

 

[Val54]

Wild night in Bristol, still have a 40 mph westerly gusting to 68 mph and a stay indoors warning, temperature is 7° but a real feel of -5° in the wind. Might follow the advice .

[runnach]

Apart from being a dreich day with some rain, nothing else to report, wind virtually nil.

 

[trevskoda]

Some trees down around here but 99% of roads ok, rain has eased along with heavy winds, sheep have removed life belts and weights.

 

[edina]

The rain has stopped in Devon and the wind is easing a little, but still ‘stay at home’ weather.
