RMweb Premium 45156 Posted September 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2011 Afternoon All Quite windy here, but I've seen worse in Lancster - I suspect that further North it IS worse, and no doubt the TV news will be full of film of crashing waves, fallen trees, etc. Also, though there's not been a lot of rain here, the river Lune has a large catchment area in the Pennines and also a lot of tributaries which tend to fill quickly, so we might still see some flooding as it appears to be raining further up the country. Not a lot more here today, in fact it has taken 50 minutes on gaps at work just to get this on! Regards to All Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted September 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Had the car moving around on the way home but the sky is full of clouds speeding across to the east.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted September 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well, it's been rather sunny during the afternoon, but windy all the same, and supposed to remain mostly like that tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I saw on the TV that woman (BBC) reporting from some low cliffs on Angelsey. She was reporting 30 - 40 mph winds (a strong breeze, surely...) yet the sea looked towering in the background. I believe she was underestimating the wind speed. On the same page on the BBC news site there's a photo of a train bursting through a wave? Faked? Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I think the first fatality has been reported. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Morning All, I headed into work a bit earlier than usual this morning. The weather is muggy and around 20°C. Now that the day is dawning the sky looks quite angry. Grey scudding clouds and patches of lighter grey. Have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Totally grey and miserable looking outside. Not too strong a wind blowing. I hope the weather where you are is better. Good morning Phil H. I see you are logged on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 One of my neighbours sheds ended up upside down in his next door's backyard after the last blow. Perfectly intact just upside down....some strange things happen in high winds. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PhilH Posted September 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2011 Good morning Phil H. I see you are logged on. The computer might have been logged on Don - I was in bed. I don't turn this new one off, just shut the lid then I don't have to go through the bootup each time I use it. I'm going trainspotting today , I'm going to use my bus pass to go to Eastleigh and grice on the station. Apparently a steam excursion is coming through so it might be worth a couple of hours. Have a good one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted September 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2011 All quiet on the western front... Depends how far west you are - it's gone from clear blue skies to horrible black clouds in the last 10 mins, and the windows are very wet on the outside !

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted September 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2011 So I expect that it may rain here this afternoon! Matthew's weather in Vietnam seems to have been thunderstorms and about 35C for much of his time there, but he did know that September was likely to be wet when he booked his stay.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted September 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2011 Morning All A blowy night, and still seems a bit breezy this morning here. So far we seem to have missed the worst excesses of the former hurricane in Lancaster, so that's something to be cheery about. Bright and sunny at the mo, and they are saying the winds will be back later - great! I see that an industrial building collapsed and damaged a lot of parked cars - one thing I try to do is to park away from structures or trees when strong wind is expected, just in case...

AndrewC Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Bit of a breeze, bit of sun, bit of cloud. 18c at the moment, 66% humidity,wind southwest @4mph with gusts to 12mph, 0.2mm of rain yesterday. Chap down the road has his own weather station with website. He seems to be a lot more accurate than the BBC. Even the weather in Bexley is boring. My back / hip is still fecked. Another trip to the witch doctor and then to the QEII for some photography. Back to bed and the codeine cosh for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I hate to say but right now "Maria" seems to be following the same track as "Katia" but a little farther to the south. Should know for sure by the weekend. Best, Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BoD Posted September 13, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 13, 2011 Bu$$er the all quite on the western front lark. What about the western rear? Still very windy. That roof collapse was not far up the road. The fatality was a volunteer ambulance driver for a hospice. It always happens to the good people.

DonBradley Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 A long way away and a compltely different weather system but as the day has progressed it has got greyer, colder, wetter and windier. Not as bad as where BoD is located, but still very unpleasant. Keep safe and dry on whichever front you are situated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted September 13, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2011 Afternoon all... Held another practice lesson today, preparation for which did require quite a bit of improvisation and last-minute juggling this morning due to reasons which would appear to have been beyond both my and the course teacher's control. I was actually intending to do a group assignment in the second half of the lesson, but it turned out my initial questions spawned a quintessential torrent of thoughts and a fair bit of independent discussion, resulting in us never getting around to that assignment! Oh well, I guess such unpredictable situations will also be part of the trade... I admit I also had rather been on the edge due to all this improvisation, but did not want to step back, as I thought this would most certainly feel wrong to me, even though the teacher had assured me he wouldn't hold it against me if I had so chosen. I'm not sure why, but my stomach's feeling a bit queasy right now. Could be the tension from that situation, I guess... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
