Snowdon beats us at 76 mph gusts to my 70mph gusts.

We seem to be one of the few places not under an amber warning later. Getting my workout in now then abandoning my gazebo gym.

Amber warning "we're all going to die" here right now. My weather station is reporting 2mph winds at the moment.

I said that last time we had a red warning. Shortly after within a few minutes I watched a huge tree blow over and next doors fence fly over our garden, missing stupid me by a couple of minutes

Kicks off proper tonight burtie. Thoughts and prayers between 10pm and after then we all well some of us enter heaven.

 

[burtie]

Oh great now I'm anxious as we need a new roof, the scaffolding was going up tomorrow lol. Maybe they'll have less tiles to remove.

Start writing your insurance claim now and beat the rush .

We had a telegraph pole erected outside on thursday and the cement doesnt seem to have set yet . Am just hoping if it comes down it falls in an easterly direction.

Great view from that one.

Big crosswind close to the limits.

Start writing your insurance claim now and beat the rush .

This is the problem, I put a claim in at first when my utility roof went through neighbours and insurance company were in meltdown, no way of getting through.
Sent a claim , with a video but neighbour said '"don't bother,you buy some tiles and we will do the job together " ( not real slate so with sealant about £15 ,helps he's a builder though

Quite gusty at Heathrow already. What speed does the wind need to get for it to be too dangerous to try landing?

That depends on the aircraft, but 30+ knots and you will see restrictions, also individual airlines will have their own limits. Just because its windy, it might not be a direct crosswind though, windshear is also a factor causing many of the go around.

 

[Silly Goose On The Loose]

Warmed up now in London, a nice 11 degrees.

 

[bjorkiii]

Cheers. Quite unsettling watching the planes trying to land. Thinking what if?

I washed the car this morning so it will get a nice rinse and blow dry.

Did it get a quick back and sides as well?
