[Hotspur62]

Another beautiful morning this morning.tipping it down and still semi dark at 8.20️.The only positive is it is 11.4 so the heating hasn’t come on

[Arch Stanton]

Some heavy stuff heading our way after 1100 according to the radar. This grim weather shows no signs of abating either... 

[Summer tyre]

Val D'Isere looks OK...

[daveinSB]

Extremely wet here in North London, and lots more to come by the looks of it.

Grim.

[MAF]

Clearing West - East now. give it an hour and it should be drier.

I did have a walk in the heavier rain earlier, only because i don't mind walking in the rain. however i do not like Pina Colada's

Took more than a penny. I reckon in this day and age about a quid... a penny is way too subtle to take the hint

Well at least the risk of Equatorial Fluxing has passed. Imagine that after a load of stuffing on Christmas Day.,

They all need another hobby, one that is fulfilling has a point to it, and achieves something.

Might be worth taking them down, and putting them back after tomorrow. Living where I am, I don't even think about outside Christmas lights, always see people's not working after storms lol, would normally be ok in land, but tomorrow might be a bit iffy Midlands northwards, and probably along most of the east coast as it moves east.

Watching the bush to gadge wind, and it's actually still, not very windy down here in Dover at all.

[MAF]

Going to be a short day today ...... 7h 49m daylight for London 

[Lauren]

Very windy out there. Got woken up a few times in the night by bigger gusts knocking things over

[slater]

Unbelievable mild Christmas Eve and Christmas day coming up 14c isn’t out of the question, the worse we can experience this time of year, I’ve been away in May and been freezing…not going to feel Christmas like at all

[Sparky68]

Stick plenty of ice in your drink, will feel proper Christmassy 

[snowblind]

Very mild outside today. It was a bit windy overnight but that has calmed down and there was virtually no rain and there is even a bit of sunshine now.

It's a comfortable 18.6 indoors with no heating on. Whilst not very festive at least this weather is keeping the heating bills down.
