WHATS YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2019

My poor photography skills don't quite do justice to the deluge, but you get the general idea

 

Good afternoon all, cloudy all day but mild 14c.

 

We've got something much more reliable than a Met Office, here. The cranes that overwinter in Northern Africa go over in huge 'V' formations twice a year. They've started going south, which is a cast-iron guarantee that cold weather is on it's way. Goodness knows how they know, but it's infallible!

 

The storks haven't been leaving us for a few years now, but then our winters have been milder. Also we are getting more nesting in villages where they have not in past years. I love them. One strutting in our river bar ...



This week we've been 22c days, 16c nights, showers forecast for the weekend.

 

Very mild andsoggy - part from a couple of hours from lunchtime when in actually DID stop raining.
Tomorrow sounds "interesting "......
And it's Battle Bonfire night - typical.....

 

Well I did say didn't I? My lawnmower's back and so is the rain! It's rained all day and to make matters worse we've been shrouded in fog too. It's gloomy and looks as if it's here for the weekend at least. 5C/41F

 

Hi,

You won't be cutting many perches with the saw wiseowl.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

Damp windy 9c

 

Hi,

I'm surprised we aren't all going south given the doom and gloom put out as news every day of the year.

To match the news it's another wet black hole here; no Blackie at the moment but he's not needed for a few minutes having done his night shift.

The first saturday of every month is Rufforth Auto Jumble and it's an event I love to visit; after all the rain though and how bad the weather is I'll sadly give it a miss this morning; I can't be bothered driving 40 miles to park in wet grass then traipse around an exposed airfield or wander into the hanger which is always gloomy and often colder than it is outside.

My workshop beckons.

Kind regards, Colin.

 

Strong wind, heavy rain, 11°C easing and cooling as the day progresses.

 

Same as you @NigelJ

I'm as south as we can go @Retired and I can guarantee you it's no better down here. Rain in lashing down and the noise from the gusty winds blowing through all the surrounding trees is horrendous, always scares me that one will come crashing down on us.They all have preservation orders on them and we can't even get their canopies raised.

 

Severe gales here as forecast, gusting to around 75mph with heavy rain.
