WHAT'S YOUR WEATHER LIKE - 2017

Calmed down after last nights bluster

 

It feels chilly here this morning, we have a light drizzle just what the garden needed. Waterbutts filling up nicely, they were getting really low.

 

Gosh! ...a never ending supply @armandll

Well what a wild night!!! .....and not of the good kind

Haven't dared to inspect the damage yet......need to prep myself first( hasten to add... joking!)

 

Chilly!!!??? Winters back! Three t-shirts, winter top, two pairs of socks and so on. Oh yeah, it's peeing down too. Had a shower, took the dog out, came home soaked and had a bath to get warm again.

 

I think last weekend was the wettest we've had this year. It rained practically all the time, ranging from heavy stuff to steady drizzle. It's all badly needed but it felt more like autumn with the chilly temperatures. As the week goes on the forecast is for a return to the heat.
Sunrise: 6:30 Sunset: 21:49

 

It is persisting it down here,been doing it since yesterday teatime and the leaves on my birch trees have got a battering and a few of them are now on my lawn so the winds must have been quiet gusty At least I won't need to worry about watering the garden and allotment for a few days and my water butt should be about full now

Mr Kandys sister was saying to their cousin the other week that we were jammy again by having good weather whilst up in Snowdonia They are on holiday a few miles outside Ullapool at the moment and from what we can gather it has been wet and cold

I keep telling them the always shines on the Righteous

 

Sun is out, windy

 

I've changed my mind......every cloud doesn't have a silver lining , my poor garden is wrecked , my roses have lost their petals, my runnerbeans are bashed, my delphiniums....don't even ask me & the hens were soaked when I left. What's happened to the summer , I'm starting to feel a bit grumpy now .

 

Agree @Beckie76, I've just checked out ours, looks like a battlefield....soooo much damage done. And still being done as the wind is horrendous out there

 

So much damage ,we are running out of canes and stakes! Even have uprooted shrubs.....not happy

 

Diabolical doesn't quite describe what we've got, like most of you lot who by the sounds of things, are getting too. We haven't got the wind YET but meant to have 40 mph + tonight, bye bye Lupins.,Poppies, Meconopsis, etc etc etc! Non stop rain since about 7pm last night and hurtling down atm. Having a mini digger delivered this PM, you couldn't make it up. We have been desperate for rain for weeks and now have about 4 months worth in hours. There is no way we will be able to use the digger anywhere near where we intended to. Much much swearing.
