A random thread for weatherish things that don't warrant a thread of their own.

Might we expect this variety in a feature that appears to be breaking up?  I've no expertise at all, though I reckon to be as accurate as the pros. without bothering to get out of bed.

[Pingu]

Some street lights have come on.

[Basil]

It's moving quite quickly.  It seems to easing slightly here.
Power just came back on, but now the mobile network is down.

Two deaths reported in Ireland: one in a car when a tree landed on it and one when clearing a fallen tree.

Stay safe you all.

Blue sky and sunshine was resumed in Bristol about 1330. No rain, which is kind of a shame.

[Kim]

The binbag full of old bedding that's stuffed up the chimney to prevent draughts is pulsating like an alien larva about to hatch.

And there was just a big gust of wind followed a suspicious double bang.


ETA: The latter appears to be a strip of those air-filled plastic packing bags which has blown into the road from some bin or other and is being run over by cars.

[Wowbagger]

It's still 20°C here, despite the sun having disappeared some time ago.

This really is the end of times.   R4 has just gone off air on FM here.

FM doesn't count.  *looks to Droitwich*

How's long wave doing? Should our nuclear sub captains be making ready?

Half a tree down in my front garden....

Electric came back about 3 o'clock. (Well done guys).  Mobile network returned at 11 this evening.  R4 FM still down.

It worries me now that I realise how reliant this house is on electricity.  The boiler is oil fired, but obviously won't work during a power cut.

It's been rainy and windy in Baku

Where I was a little.
R4 would come out of toasters and washing machines or anything else with semi-conducting corrosion.

Yesterday here:

That's one seriously flooded road.

[Wowbagger]

Daughter number 2 tells me that a whole summer's rain is expected in Victoria over the next 3 days that that Melbourne is on high alert for flooding.

Storm Dylan eh?
When they get to letter i, I hope they call it "In A Teacup"


Stolen from elsewhere.

Set off yesterday morning in vvv strong westerlies. Felt smug at identifying an outward leg with tree cover to shelter me from the winds.

A mile in: CLONK, branch lands 10' ahead of me. Now feel less smug, but lucky.

[ElyDave]

I was out yesterday as well, nothing that dramatic, but a pleasing outward average was soon destroyed.

Today is windier here, I think I'll use the turbo.

Jet stream looks a little, um... lively for the next few days.

There was so much weather to fit into the Shipping Forecast this morning it sounded more like a horse race commentary.
