Very true. If the sticks around on the ground for another 2 days it will surpass 2010 easily. Amazing to think that this time last week there was only a slight possibility of heavy snow in the London area. Just goes to show what can happen in the space of a few days. This spell certainly puts the so called "Beast" from the East with its 1cm of snow for 2 days to shame! LoL

Turbine struck by lightning as storm warning issued WWW.RTE.IE A wind turbine off the coast of Arklow in Co Wicklow has been struck by lightning and is on fire, as several counties in the south and east of the country remain... Looks lively off the Irish coast. -
Autumn 2022 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
Wimbledon88 replied to Seasonal Trim's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
We were always lead to believe by the climate change goblins that Atlantic storms would be more ferocious due to a 'warming ocean'. Huge area of low pressure to our west now giving nothing but a bit of damp drizzle. No doubt they'll put some of spin on it to say its as a result of global waaaaming. -
Perfect rain here in London to help alleviate drought. 20mm so far from this system and not too torrential either. Fair bit of thunder earlier, lightning very vivid about 6am. Looking forward to eight more months of this. Bye bye summer 2022. You won't be missed.

Patience mate. It's just around the corner. And you can sense the desperation in the MAD thread. 7/8 months of wind and rain. Glorious. And we can finally put this hideous summer behind us.

We really should try not to harm spiders in any way, they are our 'friends' and they get rid off all the other little critters that may do harm. Please don't kill them. Although there's always going to be the odd one that goes down the plug hole accidentally. I always see the increase in number of spiders as the imminent end of summer. Which for me is never a bad thing. Looking forward to the next 7/8 months. For the next week or two it can do what it wants. -
Its not called the MAD thread for nothing. Either way this hideous hot summer is coming to an end. Autumn around the corner.

Great pics. You seem to be in a semi rural location there with the open countryside and great sky views. Lucky. Could do with some of that.
