Much blowage here today.
The market traders in Brick Lane were struggling to keep their stalls in Brick Lane when I went there for my breakfast this morning.

Sahara sand blowing over again. Not as thick as last time, in March a couple of years ago. Sky's covered in what looks like dirty yellow-white blancmange.

Just had occasion to visit the kitchen at 4 am, where the OAT gauge shows it's currently 4⁰ outside. Apparently it will be 20⁰ in the next couple of days, though last weekend's forecast of something similar was very over-optimistic. But, just to ring the changes, there may be a several of wet between now and Friday. Oh, the garden will rejoice...

It's a full on gale and hailstorm here at the moment... a real change to Saturday and yesterday.

I have to drag out the Perfectly Good Gentleman’s Mountain Bicycle and go shopping at some point today. Urk!

Intermittent rain squalls & wind that seems to change direction by the minute in Liverpool. My loft hatch is rattling.....

On Friday the Met Orifice said 10 dry days in store for York. Saturday morning was nice but then it rained and all last night it must have tipped it down, lakes sprung up everywhere. Today it's forecast to rain, but at least after that York has 10 dry days in store.

Faster going up the sheltered-by-houses Great East Face than on the flat with nowt to block the wind

Just been watching our willow-tree's fronds lashing about in the wind. Time we had it trimmed again.

I'm going to have to visit the allotment in a bit and see what the damage is...

Apart from getting drenched this morning going to the bank we have had a fair amount of sunshine and a couple of short heavy showers in the afternoon. Oh and there's been a bit of a breeze to

I was lucky to get home.
Greater Angrier services into LST are mostly banjaxed thanks to a fallen tree taking out overhead power lines.

Very windy in York now. Torrential downpour next?

T42 · « **Reply #3643 on:** **Today** at 09:01:27 am »

Wet & windy here too, but the wind has backed SW so we're under the lee of a big hill. The willow is breathing a sigh of relief and combing its hair.

Tornados reported in the Midlands. No, not the aircraft.

A number of trees down around the village this morning, including one which landed on the roof of the local coffee shop.

The tree surgeons are certainly busy.

Currently we have thunder and lightning.
Earlier we had a hailstorm.

Hailstorm started when I was about 150 yards from home. Sheltered in a garage for a few minuted 'til at abated and only a bit damp.
Now, that pint - or chatting to workmen - might have been unwise in retrospect.
