[chrcoluk]

I usually only post in the summer moaning about heat and no wind.

 

Well the last few days for the standards of leics in central england this has been highly unusual.

 

Wind is whistling and weather very changable, had showers and sun all in one day.

 

Usually when I look west I see clouds in the distance going from south to north, but today they coming straight from west to east.

 

I bet given its windy here it must be like a hurricane near the coasts.
