What's your Weather Like September 2023

Shame we can't post our own videos on here as I took a 4 minute video of the storm we had this afternoon.There were only 1 or 2 flashes of lightening & thunder claps but that was more than made up for with the "white out" we had for a couple of minutes!

Around 2.45pm it began to get darker & darker to the point where I was about to put the light on as I couldn't see my keyboard, it was that dark! My wife commented that it seemed to be getting darker & within a couple of minutes we heard the wind rising & when I looked outside I saw it was so dark that it must surely rain in a few minutes. I took a brief video of the plants on the balcony railings & the dark, threatening clouds in the sky.

I came back in & sat down at the computer when all of sudden the wind became almost hurricane force & immediately heavy drops of rain began to fall & we heard a low rumble of thunder. Fortunately I had closed the balcony door again. I went into the kitchen for a moment & noticed heavier rain on the kitchen windows so I shut the window that was open. Just as well as while I was taking a video of the heavy rain & the hail that was falling on the balcony from the living room, as well as the wind trying to dislodge my plants from the railings, which it almost did, the force of the rain against the kitchen windows forced water through the ventilation grills at the top of the windows! I had to mop the floor & dry the cupboard tops!

 

Here is the link to my videos on YouTube. As this is the first time I've done this I hope the link works!

Back to my ideal temps...looks to be a perfect week I had thought we were to have more rain.

 

18c cloudy with some sun shining through

 

@Balc that looks like a funnel cloud forming in the first picture, i think you may have had a mini tornado.

It's 18.5c this morning cloudy and with a very slight breeze, it feels a bit different to the last few mornings.

 

Overcast, misty in the orange grove, 18c going to 25c.

 

I had a similar feeling, @pete . But I haven't seen any reports yet to it being a funnel cloud. I think it was probably just a thick tendril of cloud though with the strength of the wind it may well have been!

 

Much cooler and a more comfortable day expected . The garden needs water but I don't think we will be that lucky,

That looks bad @Balc

 

Light rain showers and a gentle breeze from the south west temp 20c feels like 25c

 

We had rain over night and more again this morning, frost forecast in the Glens by the end of the week end of summer now I think.

 

Good day for drying the laundry.
