WHAT'S YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2018

Heavy cloud and gales but a mild 20c.

 

Just had a walk round. Garden is in a mess but no real damage as such and now remember the good reasons for buying a Rhino greenhouse and getting a professional to build her. Absolutely fine which is a great testament to the design and build to withstand some serious winds.My Dahlias are smashed to bits but they were getting towards the end anyway and my herbaceous borders are flattened in places, but like wise they were nearing the end of their season too. A big cleanup tomorrow will be needed but all in all could have been a lot worse.

 

Our silver Beach trees were facing North at 45 degree's

 

It's been windy but can't complain compared to others. A few roads have been blocked due to fallen trees but nothing major. I haven't been down to check the greenhouse yet but

 

Morning all light rain and light wind temp 12 to 17c
Sunrise was 6.50
Sunset 19.12

 

It’s raining here & very grey ....at least the water butts will be full .

I will send the rain over your way @shiney!

 

Sun is out here.

 

Repeat of yesterday, cloudy and very windy but a mild 20c, still no rain for 3 weeks!!

 

It didn't last long, but dry and gusty.

 

Tree's at 45 degrees, dry 18c

 

After a pretty decent day the wind and the rain is lashing down now.....at times the rain has been very intense. Storm Bronagh is a most unwelcome guest.....spreading eastwards too and forecast to clear here in the early hours.

Worth remembering though that some horrific weather is currently affecting many parts of the world ....what we have is nothing in comparison.

 

It’s blowing a blinking gale & chucking it down here.
I’ve just been outside to check on the hens & fences, all ok so far .
I don’t like the wind, it scares me, hopefully it won’t hang around too long!
Stay safe everyone
