If it's electrically safe, there's no way I'd be messing around with it in weather like this.

Errr.. probably. Worst case is the fusebox trips and I have to isolate the circuit.

Depending on your consumer unit layout it may cause havoc with the RCD tripping and not just the single MCB.  Given your recent power related PC problems you may want to look at unplugging some of the none essentials, just in case

Good advice Lardman, but the computers are on UPS if the trip does go. I can re-fix the light in about 30 minutes but I wasn't exaggerating about the wind. One gust nearly blew me over!

Weather down here is blooming terrible! It is windy, wet and cold. We had to go for our third vaccination this morning and it was actually snowing at one point. I have never known it to be so cold at this time of the year it has been consistently a good 5-7C below the normal seasonal temperature since the end of October... thank heavens for oak logs and compressed wood fire logs a mix made in heaven     I have just started experimenting with lignite briquettes which are great if you just want a long gentle heat .

[Lardman]

Calmer today thankfully. It's still cold, damp and grey though.

[mumofstig]

It's bright, sunny and 4C today, plus it's calm so far.

[John]

OK at the moment - starting up again this afternoon so off to try and fix the light.

[Goosegirl]

It's finally stopped raining and the sun has made a welcome appearance.

[John]

Light fixed just in time as the rain started when putting the tools away!

[John]

Dry start to the day, cold at 4ºC and breezy but much improved on the storms.

[Lardman]

Soggy overnight, cold this morning and  a bit blustery but at least there's sunshine and blue sky at the moment.

Sun plus a few very heavy showers.

Bit warmer, calm but drizzle turning to heavy rain soon
