Well the wet afternoon has turned into a very wet evening with heavy rain and the wind has picked up as well, gusting to 44mph according to metoffice. -
And a groundhog day today, went out early as there was a break in the weather, got wet (not a wet as yesterday) during last 10 mins. If I had gone at my normal time would have got wet through. Winds started light S force 2, backing and increasing 3-4 ESE while I was out. Temps 12c but given the damp and greyness academic. BUT I wont complain as memories of the summer weather are still burnt into my memory. Edit/update: One hour later now dark with moderate to heavy rain. Lights on in home office.

Yes lunchtime ride was 45 mins grey but dry and last 15 mins was very penetrating drizzle, not heavy, but the sort that means you still end up looking like a drowned rat...

Not a bad day today, lunchtime brought 14C with sunny intervals and a light force 1-2 SE wind. Fields now look 'soggy' on the Wolds. Quite a few fallen branches around after the storm Friday.

Woodburner lit in the evenings currently, we always start by burning the tatty 'small' wood at this time of year and save the proper logs for when we need a 24hr a day burn. Wood sheds have enough seasoned wood stacked to last the winter, and the good thing, it's only cost me sweat and effort and a bit of electric to gather it cut it and split it. Apart from cost the other advantage is that if we are cold we don't feel guilty about having a hotter fire.

Wind at the coast has eased a bit, now gusting mid 50s mph rather than 60+ at lunchtime, but rain has increased. Moderate to heavy rain for the last hour or so.

Just put some picture and video in the members gallery, taken at Bridlington Harbour around midday. At the coast wind more of a problem than rain.

Just put some pictures and video taken at Bridlington Harbour at around midday in the members gallery. Wind was gusting to 60mph and quite a few branches down on the way home. At the coast wind has been worse than rain. Another bonus video here of a couple getting a soaking 20231020_113744.mp4

Daily bike ride already cancelled. Been down to Beverley this morning and quite a bit of debris on the roads now, driving rain and spray, it was quite unpleasant. May venture down to Brid Harbour later to try and get some pictures.

Well lunchtime bike ride was a slog, SE force 6-7, a steady blow too, not particularly gusty, which was a head wind for 3 miles. Sunny, and not cold, but when you are slower down the hills into the wind than up with the wind behind you know thats at least force 6. Pictures taken by Mrs Mike57 at 7.30 am this morning, waves were building up at Bridkington harbour,

Met Office yellow warning for rain now gone from our area, but East Coast of Scotland now Red for rain and Amber for wind. and now Yellow wind warning over our area, so a very fluid picture. Looks like wind will be the main issue here
-
Just wondering what the storm impacts will be, forecast on here is showing wet, but more worryingly 69mph gusts from an easterly gale Friday afternoon. This would potentially be damaging on the east coast. Particularly with the trees still in almost full leaf. Met Office is making more of the rain, but max gust ~50mph which is a normal storm and not cause for concern.

WNW force 4-6 at lunchtime, and 12c, with well broken cloud and sunshine. I only rode 7.5 miles today as I had to get back, but a pleasant autumn day here. Quite cool this morning, 5c at 7am. My sort of weather
-
A much nicer day at lunchtime, sunny with temperatures of 14c and a Force 2 SE wind. A nice fresh feel. Quite a cool start this morning, with a touch of frost on the car windscreen, however air temp was around 5c
-
Well quite a change this lunchtime. After a wet morning from the cold front moving south lunchtime produced a force 2 SW wind with temperatures at 13c. The last mile of my ride was wet, the rain started again, and it was 100% cloudy, BUT, the horrible warm humid air of the last few days seems to have finally moved away to annoy someone else, and it felt a lot fresher. Hopefully we now see a proper autumn.
-
I hope so, fed up with this unseasonal humid warm weather. First bike ride since holiday produced a W force 4 with temps of 17c but with dew point at 15c at lunch time it felt really humid. Mostly cloudy.

We got back to Yorkshire today after a week in Paris. Felt very humid but only 18c at the coast when we got back at about 4pm. Last Monday afternoon we had 30c in Paris Hid in our hotel from lunchtime until the evening. Cooled down Tuesday with some rain and rest of week has been OK, around 20c each day. I wonder when the weather will finally turn colder at the coast, question is are we looking at the new normal?
