After being woken at 6.45 by the hunters' guns at our remote house and just about getting myself back to sleep following our late-night lost-luggage watch, another ear-splitting thunder storm arrived in the Limassol region at 8.45 this morning for round two. I must admit daytime is nowhere near as spectacular as the night-time sound and light show, but still impressive as we watched the storm head off towards Troodos which gained a snow covering overnight.

 

Avoiding the Cyprus tradition of heading mountain-wards and snow-wards to pack out every road, snowy patch and eating establishment for Sunday lunch, we took the mother in law to the seaside. The waves were incredibly churned up, maybe as a result of yesterday's earthquake, and the seagulls were enjoying a feeding frenzy on the shore. With the stiff beach breeze it was really exhilarating and we enjoyed fresh white bait with a cat standing by for our scraps or a foolish seagull, whichever turned up first (I gave him a bit of fish so he wasn't over-motivated to take his chances in the sea).

 

Sorry to hear of the south-east weather prospects and hoping we can return OK next Friday evening.

 

Some pics of hungry seagulls taking advantage of the churned up sea with the cat standing by (and on this occasion not so foolish nor hungry as to venture into the water):

 

 

Edit: just scrolled back through the kitty-cat jokes; it seems our little Cyprus chap has found the right spot here:)

Anyone follow Simon Keeling on twitter? He's talking about possibilities of a sting jet from tonight's overnight feature.

Glad to see the evidence, just  to show you're not "lion" about it.

Once tonight / tomorrows stormy event has gone through, Next one is new years eve into New years day, Which could pack quite a punch compared to recent ones. New moon also 1st of Jan so flooding again will be a big concern especially coastal districts.

Yellow Alert of Rain for London & South East England :

East Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton and Hove, Kent, West Berkshire & Medway

South to southwesterly gales and locally severe gales will affect western and southern parts of Wales and parts of southwest England during the early hours of Monday, moving east to affect English Channel coastal counties through Monday morning, whilst winds ease from the west later.

The public should be aware of the risk of disruption to travel, particularly as the gales will be combined by heavy rain in some areas (see separate Warning).

This is an update to the Alert issued on Saturday.

Issued at:

1046 on Sun 29 Dec 2013

Valid from:

0005 on Mon 30 Dec 2013

Valid to:

1300 on Mon 30 Dec 2013

An active frontal system will move eastwards across the UK during Sunday night and Monday. Very strong south to southwesterly winds will develop, with gusts of 60-70 mph likely within the area of the Warning, particularly near coasts and over high ground with a low probability of a short period where gusts could reach 80 mph at exposed locations in the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall and western parts of Wales.
