Torrential rain here on my holdays

    

Hope it cheers up for you snowdrops.

Grey here today.  It was raining all night and has only just fizzled out.  Feels very autumnal

Yes, rain overnight and cloudy now - but very warm 19C and humid.
Went for a walk in my waterproof jacket, like you do when the sky threatens rain, and had to carry it cos I got too hot 
Lots of leaves changing colour on the rec.

[snowdrops]

Yes thanks, it had about stopped when we got out & about & I too ended up carrying my waterproof. Got back to our digs & the sun was out a bit

Rain did dry up yesterday in time to explore Tenby (and enjoy a 'Pembrokeshire pasty'  )

Superb weather today for our trip to Pembroke castle, now sat outside our cottage enjoying the late afternoon sunshine.

It's been lovely here - got me by surprise as I got chatting with a pal who's doing some building work and when I got up to the polytunnel at 10:30 it was 39ºC in there!!

About 4pm spotted a bank of fog rolling in from the sea which got up to us a bit after 5pm. Bit chilly after that

Supposed to be dry tomorrow... fingers crossed!

Very autumnal. Dull, 12C and intermittent rain. Gales forecast for tonight

The same as yesterday, grey, dank and cool  and now the wind is getting up, I just had to shut the greenhouse doors.

We survived the gales in South Ayrshire last night.

The Beech trees were chucking their beechnuts at the windows all night along with small sticks they didn't want any more.

Since we are in a new house on a rural plot we are not used to the noises from the trees yet. Last night was a bit of an eye opener with the south westerlies roaring up the paddock, through the Beech/Oak/Ash trees and slamming into the plate glass double glazing.

We didn't get a lot of sleep and this morning I had to chase the recycling bins and also find the missing lid of the compost bin. No damage, just huge bags under my eyes and hunched shoulders!

[AlaninCarlisle]

In a word, soggy. We had an estimated 3" of rain in the last sixteen hours causing road closures and flooding some properties. Just Cumbrian business as normal!

[mumofstig]

Drizzle on and off all day - all this grey is really depressing 

I need to find the Vit D tablets again!

[John]

The forecast for tomorrow  is SCARY! 40mph winds starting at 7:00 rising to 70mph by 16:00 then falling to 40mph by 5:00 Tuesday.

The temperature is just weird - starts shooting up around 5am to 18ºC peaking at 19ºC by 8am

The winds here up the hill tend to be higher than forecast so we may see 80 or 90mph but the temp is usually a couple of degrees lower.

[Goosegirl]

An absolutely gorgeous day here although the ground is, er, rather wet to say the least!

[snowdrops]

Glorious day here too,managed 3 hours at the plot most of it in a sleeveless t shirt, just had to put my fisherman’s smock on when I sat for a cuppa & just as I cleared up & the sun had gone down behind the houses

[JayG]

Thought we were never going to see daylight here today, but it's quite sunny now with a strong breeze gusting up to 40mph.

Must be windy in lots of places today - the latest electricity generation figures show wind generation higher than nuclear, with all coal-fired stations switched off:
