Ah, it's you that lets the dogs out?
Who? Who? Who?
Who? Who? Who?
👏
Well BBC predicted gust speeds are slowly increasing, started around 62mph last night but it is now up to 72mph. If my night shift isn't too busy and the house isn't falling down I'll try and get some photo's of the sea at high tide tomorrow.
I hope they call the one after next Storm Ena. I've had a load of commemorative mugs printed. They're a storm Ena teacup.
Not much here yet - even Mrs F suggested a ride this morning. She's got some work's mileage challenge, but the guy who is riding to work is miles ahead. They have all been going for walks at lunch, so this morning added a few. Very little wind and lovely and sunny.
My mentally challenged entitled cockwomble bully of a neighbour 'MADE' the scaffold ers come in to wrap a 4mtr roof extension and put a tin correlated roof on it
In a beach front location with no wind break for miles
If any of the tin lifts there is a very high chance it will fly straight through one of my front windows.
The fact he is a fat liar who is used to bullying people is irrelevant, but this construction, today, is moronic and I hope the whole flppen thing takes off and launched into my house causing all the windows to go bang and possibly dislodging half the roof as well,
Because even someyhing as catastrophic as that would be my fault as my house is in the way, not his, because he is older and richer than me so must be right
And breath.... 10/10 for the controlled,seething rage. 🙂

I hope it waits until after the rugby! We want a dry pitch to run around on and run the legs of those overfed english boys
Ahem. Just flagging this one for posteriority after the actual result...
Anyway. I've got a 5hr adventure race in the Dales tomorrow. Trying to work out how many waterproofs I can pack...
It's sounding very blowy out there now.
I hope it calms a bit for Monday morning, the ride into work could be interesting. The cars not an option as it's out of MoT too 🤦♂️
Hopefully those scaffolders have a signed waiver from the client.
Calmed down here in SW Scotland now, was at its worst about 5pm, one gust was like a bomb going off!.
Currently bedded down in our Scout Hut with a dozen 6 & 7 yr olds.
Place is creaking a bit.
Tomorrow mornings 9am pick up will be lively by all accounts.
Tree down across the track at Amberley , it could be a long night ☹️
nothing here in Edinburgh now!
Just a bit of drizzle in the Highlands for now.
Still and light rain in south Lanarkshire, very quiet at the moment.....awaiting teenage son returning from pub...
wait for it ...!
Facing an interesting drive home to Edinburgh from Oban, just debating which oft-landslipped Glen to drive through, Glen Ogle or Rest-and-be-Thankful...
Bloody mad here in Shropshire. Blowing a gale horizontal rain, patches of blue sky, and thunder and lightning all mixed in to one
Absolutely brutal here near Warrington. Anxiously waiting for my new to get in from her night shift. Not the conditions for driving.
Very noisy rain battering the front windows right now in County Durham.
Ill be staying in today, but have fly to Aberdeen tonight on one of the wee Eastern Airways Jetstream 41’s.
Might be in for a bumpy ride, if at all.
Just got in to work, haven’t had a proper look around the estate yet but a few branches down ..... There are a couple of trees I’m worried about so will go check on those once I’ve had a brew
Now, where’s my hard hat
Feels very calm in Weymouth town right now. I am in a sheltered bit though. No rain yet.
It felt like this at midnight in Worksop.
I thought it sounded rough at the front of the house but it was nothing compared to what it was like at the back! Dunno how my daughter slept through that!
For the first time in a long time it's come at me from the hill so we have. Been protected.
Usually storms come at me from the other side and funnel right into the L shape of my house and all the deterius ends up stuck there
Blowing a gale in SO18, first time I've seen a local Wunderground station (SO19) read gusts of 105Kph and get a triangle wind vane bit on the Wunderground map. 😮

Anyone fancy a KOM attempt up Sheardley Lane? 😆 https://www.strava.com/segments/21207924

just been for a bracing morning 5 mile walk, rainaggedon hasn't materialized here yet. winds 30 mph gusting to 60. was rather pleasant out 🙂
The leaking chimney we had capped and the leaking window we had repaired have both started leaking again. I'm sure we have come off lightly though.
It's amazing our three yearold slept right through it!!
48 mph high gust at 07:24 in Salford. I've got a high gust alarm set to 45 mph on my Davis weather station. That hasn't gone off in a while. I noticed our neighbours have tied their trampoline down. I didn't think they had the brain capacity for that!
I hope they call the one after next Storm Ena. I’ve had a load of commemorative mugs printed. They’re a storm Ena teacup.
The next one will be Dennis and the one after, Ellen. Then Francis, and now the dutchies have joined the Met Office and Met Éireann, we’ll have a Gerda.
The France/Spain/Portugal/Belgium ones have some groovy names. Their one a few days ago was Herve. 😀
Got woken by the first gusts about 3am and intermittently since then. Not massively high winds at the moment but we are at 200m and are on a hillside that faces SW.
The trampoline next door (I kid you not) now has a broken safety guard. At least it got battened down after the last lot of winds and it took a couple of panes out from our greenhouse.
I was wrong it is proper windy in Weymouth. Just gave the dogs a quick walk and there 3ft waves on the beach. Rain is about to start. Loads of alarms going off and the town is littered with traffic cones, wheelie bins and estate agents signs.
Recommend good webcams to watch the storm on.
Decided to bin off any riding as it would be just hellish.
The annoying thing is I normally ride on a Saturday morning (bright blue sky and sun), but the wife’s weekend shift came up as yesterday so I ended up doing all the kids activities.
Bollocks.
Power has just gone off here.
Annoying. Might go check on the neighbours in a bit to see if it's the whole row that's out or just something more local.
Dunno how my daughter slept through that!
I find absolutely nothing more conducive to a long, deep, peaceful sleep that it blowing an absolute gale outside.
I finally woke up this morning sore from just how much sleep I'd had
just back in from bootcamp, one road closed with police car and blue lights in the distance - hope it's not a tree on someone.
Bootcamp was fun - outward sprints into a gale with rubber resistance bands and a jockey; jog back with wind behind felt like running on a travelator, four strides to cover what took 40 in the other direction!
@zippykona - might be interesting to see if/when any snow arrives, though I'm not expecting much of that until after dark.
Dropped laddo off in Ripley this morning, nothing but dead branches down on the more urban route up. Came back a bit more cross country, one road closed with a tree, the nearest alternative only just passable. Did get my message read out on local radio though!
The cbk-haylingisland/webcam is usually pretty good for def and band width, gets fogged up with rain sea spray sometimes and no windscreen wiper
Hebden, Mytholmroyd Tod are flooding again, according to the Yorkshire Post.
Off today, if anyone needs a hand just shout.
It's like there's a solar eclipse in progress here in Salford. Really dark. Rain is heavy but the wind seems to be calming. Weather warning in place until 21:00 so we'll see what happens.
Edit : alarm went off again at 10:59. 49 mph gust.
