A Lark Ascending Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Good lord! Feel like I was blown around Cape Horn last night. After a grim Sunday it really started to blow with relentless rain from around 9.00 PM until dawn. Currently low rain filled cloud for 300 degrees but just the glimmer of something lighter in the south. Oh, the country life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Oh, the country life. Damp but placid out here. We usually get the wet crap from Cornwall and Devon (attenuated) with a 4-5 hour lag after it hits landfall. That's the main negative of Cornwall and Devon. Too wet ! Sounds like a good day to hit the pub/bookshop/pub-bookshop/coffee shop.. Edited August 5, 2013 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Very hot and jungle humidity. 33 indoors with all the windows and doors open plus fans . I don't usually use the AC before evening but I might today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 42C (107.6F) on our balcony at 9.45 am. That's the hottest I've ever known in Tokyo and as hot as Delhi pre monsoon ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 The sun shown brightly and unequivocally in Atlanta this morning, for the first time in - I don't really know - weeks. Many folks don't realize that Atlanta gets more rainfall than Seattle - about 50% more in an average year. Well, we're way off the charts this summer - it has been rainy and overcast every day for weeks here. Everything feels waterlogged, and everyone's yard is as overgrown as mine is, because it hasn't dried up enough to cut the grass. I took advantage of the sun to take a longish (two-mile) walk through the city. It was nice. Of course, it was raining again by evening.

B. Goren. Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) In Tel-Aviv we can start smelling the autumn. The humidity is not what it used to be two months ago, this morning was a bit rainy and the most important indication that autumn is already here: the squill is blooming.

brownie Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Summer is back in Paris with a warm 77°F (25°C) that called for a walk through the streets of the city. Same expected tomorrow, then back to Autumn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 We've had new heating at work. Last week it wasn't working properly, radiators leaking etc. We were freezing as autumn bit. This week the heating's kicked in big time - just as the weather went sub-tropical. I think we all lost pounds today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Think Brits might need this thread. Will also stop us cluttering up the Post a Pic thread. Wind starting to pick up. I've just gone out to clear the garden of anything likely to blow around.

If just gone out the clear the garden of anything likely to blow around. Looks like a repeat of the '87 event - south devastated, north spared. Clearly God is not a Tory.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 The forecasters don't seem to think it's going to be as bad as 1987. (Michael Fish says so, however, and he's the one who bolloxed up the 1987 forecast.) Anyway, we've battened down the hatches. I'm worried about one of our bay trees, which is in a very aesthetic pot that my wife likes but which ALWAYS falls over in a blow. It's in a sheltered place but...

sidewinder Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I've got a plantation of bay trees facing SW which is my first line of defence. Another plantation next door should take the sting out of it (hopefully). Edited October 27, 2013 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another plantation next door should take the sting out of it (hopefully). Yes, bay trees are good when they're planted in the ground. The one we have in a pot, however, has been trimmed so it's a sphere about two feet across, about three feet above the pot. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) The perfect music for what's coming (even though it's still October): http://youtu.be/abuEGBa-C4Y And I love this from the BBC News site: It said the predicted storm - named St Jude after the patron saint of depression and lost causes, whose feast day is on Monday - was not one "you would see every year".

Tom 1960 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 I just heard on the news parts of Britain can expect hurricane wind gusts. Hopefully, damage will be minimal? Stay safe guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 This is my first winter in Ohio in 32 years. It already snowed, rode my Fat Bob home through the wet snow earlier this week, was sort of fun. But I know I'll be very tired of snow very soon.

A Lark Ascending Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Porthleven in Cornwall today. Though what went through the minds of these nutters in Newquay I'm not sure: They get into trouble and other people have to come out. From: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24690552 And a nice slideshow here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24694139 Still very calm here.

Blue Train Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 By the time St. Jude hits us on Monday....it's thankfully going to only be a 40% chance of rain. Everyone stay safe and dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
