It was very windy this morning, gusting around 35 to 40mph I'd say and the rain was lashing down! Not to bad now, still abit breezy but the sky is clear and it's a little chilly. But I suspect it's the calm before the storm, because according to the local weather forecast, there's the possibility of winds gusting in excess of 60mph at some point tommorow so this next atlantic system is one to keep in eye on for sure!

There really is total calmness out there now, it's almost spooky. This is an alarming sign of what is approaching, the last time I remember a calm before the storm like this one was the October 2002 storm, and whoever remembers that one will remember that was a howler!

Heavy shower with hail and strong gusts of wind.

I'm not a mildie but after such a quiet autumn I'm quite glad to see some 'proper' weather!
