Hi all! Beautiful day today. Cycled with the Hubbie and daughter from Leigh on Sea to east Beach Shoebury and back, stopping off for a roast in Leigh on the way back. Sore bum, but very pleased with myself!
Hi all. Was expecting it to be raining by now? Rushed off round the shops early to avoid it. Very muggy though with humidity at 68%.
Edit; Raining now!
It's not too impressive - one flash, two rumbles and the sky is clearing. Don't get too excited will you?
Edit : I'm in Thurrock, not too far from the Dartford Crossing. Ooh, another low rumble as I speak!
Temperature still seems to be rising here at 32.2! spent a pleasant few hours at Lakeside and nearly got knocked off my feet by the heat when I came out. Not a great lover of heat myself but I am interested in seeing weather records get broken.
Edit: now 33.1. Can this be right at 7pm?
About to walk to the station to meet the hubby and debating whether or not to take a brolly. looking ever more menacing out there.
Ok, decision made - its just started to rain lightly...
Hi everyone! don't know how strong the wind got in the night but I can vouch for the local chaos still ongoing due to the bridge being shut! also my thoughts are with the families made homeless round the corner. I have heard the wind may increase again. anyone know if this is true?
Not all of Essex - Thurrock for example.... barely a flake, although yesterday morning on the way to work there were cars streaming off the A127 covered in snow.
