Anybody else getting hammered by the wind today?

Had to pick up a prescription and then a quick visit to Aldi, literally about 7 mph on my single speed bike to Aldi and 33 mph on the way back. Legs spinning like mad.

If anything it’s worse now!

My CCTV camera has been vibrating all day and it’s firmly mounted to the wall in a reasonably sheltered spot.

Nothing yet in Essex/East London but forecast says we will cop some later but not as bad as they were forecasting. Apparently downgraded from “Storm Doris”, and affecting South West and Wales the worst.

Ah, that picture explains things it is currently just about 11 degrees C and I was out in the garden a little while back trying to rake up some leaves and find a missing small ring. I thought as I did it that wearing a pullover and not a windcheater was daft as would raking up leaves on a windy day. Since I did not freeze and the leaves went where they were propelled clearly the wind was missing in action. The same cannot be said about the small ring so I shall have to make another one, drat. I am not one to complain, we even have some sunshine so the day is not looking bad here at all. Hopefully it will tame itself down before damage is caused to anything too much.

Same south of the Thames Estuary. We were due some strong winds early evening on through till after midnight, with rain to accompany. Now we’re due a bit of drizzle around midnight, and winds around 20 mph instead of 45+mph.

All clear on the Northern Welsh coast cpt.

Although Wunderground.com reports currently 4km/h, it predict 15-30km/h and rain. So we may have rain and gales at some point.

Just got home from a very wet and muddy bike ride. Wind is still blowing a gale, took twice as long to get back as it usually does.

Sunny and quiet here in God’s Country…
