Yep it’s a wet, windy and miserable day in these parts. hopefully a bit better later and tomorrow.
-
Aye a poor morning with a bit of an improvement this afternoon but still felt cold. to be honest I thought we have had two poor rainy days but this morning’s BBC forecast told me that yesterday was a dry and pretty decent day across the country. i nearly spit my Tescobix out but there again why should the national weather forecast be any less London centric that everything else
-
Torrential drizzle here for much of the day Proper tropical bouncing drizzle at times
-
Hopefully plenty of them this year along with some snow although they were both in short supply last winter, even at my altitude.
-
Not fine drizzle, nothing worse than that fine stuff that soaks you through
-
It sure is but I do like this time of year when the trees are changing colour and the leaves are all over the ground and it always seems better when the skies are cloudy and grey.
-
Not the nicest of mornings but dry and surprisingly mild when I was out for a walk.
-
My local usually sells food but is shutting tonight until Bumbling Boris decides to let us off the naughty step again so I’m off out to support them by buying beer before I start supporting them by just paying taxes. i might push to a substantial bag of crisps though
-
Not a bad days weather here in the end. started cloudy but plenty of sunshine during the afternoon and dry until a light shower around 5.30. the only spoiler was a nagging and cold breeze but I’ll take it over wet and mild any day.
-
Yeah, first morning back in work after a couple of weeks on holiday and, as well as the first drive to work in the dark it was the first morning of using the de-icer. I’m not a great lover of dark mornings or clearing icy windscreens but there is certainly a lot more of the former to come and possibly a few of the latter.
-
A good long walk this morning in fantastic conditions. once a bit of cloud built up it became pretty cool but still not bad for this late in the autumn and it certainly gave some decent views.
-
Just been out with the dog and that drizzle is wet although as the saying goes, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing and mine stood up to today’s test.
-
Don’t know about that, our living room is in the east of the region and it’s pretty damn cold in there. only September though so it’s a blanket rather than putting the heating on
-
Sorry yes I could have worded it better although now our sunny morning has turned into a cloudy raw afternoon, the feel of the day wouldn’t be out of place in mid winter.
-
First frost of the winter here this morning but hopefully a decent usable day ahead.
-
Yeah same up here. We had a couple of days when a bit of wet snow fell but I’ve lived in the same house for nearly 25 years and I’m pretty sure that last winter was the first one where I never cleared a single flake of snow off the drive. Certainly a poor effort for my altitude.
-
Must admit we’re down to our last 30 x 6 roll packs now although at least I can get in the spare room now only kidding but we were pretty lucky having enough in to last when the shelves were raided by folk with a weird type of siege mentality. you’d have thought that that type behaviour would have been binned along with the countless tons of out of date food but he ho, some people never change.
-
Full blown blizzards and a full blown lockdown. i can picture it now, snow piled up on roads empty of cars and long lines of shivering folk outside supermarkets empty of essential items and bumbling Boris still insisting that the crisis is all to the people not following his ever changing messages. will it happen, Christmas will probably be mild, wet and windy but as for the other two, I think there’s a damn good chance.

Remembering a cold northerly shot early October
iand61 replied to damianslaw's topic in Historic Weather
Yeah I remember a dusting of snow down to about 1200ft here at the beginning of October in the early 90’s so it probably was that one. i also remember the late October 2000 event when torrential overnight rain with some flooding turned into heavy wet snow. we ended up with about three inches of snow before it finally stopped and slowly thawed. -
Yeah the weather and lockdown are both aligning perfectly to spoil my two weeks holiday starting on Friday.
-
Yeah it was a nice day with unbroken sunshine from mid morning but the fence panel rattling wind stopped it being an outstanding one. another decent one tomorrow and hopefully on Monday but then mini lockdown and crap weather both kick in on Tuesday.
-
Not a bad weekend on offer and certainly a bonus for this time of year but up here in the hills we have got a strong easterly breeze blowing which I imagine will really take the edge of any warmth in the sun.
-
Yeah today has been one of the few that actually turn out better than forecast certainly more sunshine than I expected and we got to 21c which is better than they were saying this morning
-
Don’t blame you with the power walking. Whatever the weather throws at us, there’s a long dark winter on its way so make the most of what is left of light nights and warmth. After weeks of trying I’ve managed to get hold of a treadmill but I don’t intend to start replacing outside walking with it just yet and hope the weather plays ball
-
Not been a bad choice of day to have off work. muck cleaned out of the gutters ready for winter and the lawns cut so hopefully the weekend is mine now to get out and do some walking.
