Arse end of hurricane now hitting us.

Very wild now in the NW

Odd thing here, in SW Wales, is that it's now getting windier than it's been all day. (Wouldn't call it that strong tho')
I thought it was supposed to have cleared this area completely by now.

Is this the other 5% of human conversation we were warned about in another thread 

Or to summarise, not quite varnishing weather 

Hopefully soon vanishing.

My stepdaughter was at the Viking re-enactment event at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk. She reports their camp got hit hard by high wind and horizontal rain. 

A month worth of rain up on Shetland, a number of landslides and a river running through the middle of my tent.. which was a bugger as We were in it at the time 

Oh dear.

Indeed !
Cheers - Phil

Well, there can't be many tents with running water.... 

Seems like it's passed over - bright and sunny this morning. (Phil the sun is that bright thing in the sky......surrounded by blue and white stuff). [Sky - in Wales the grey stuff what pees on you]

It was spectacularly wet and the bean teepee is now coming down!

Apart from that, bit of a damp squib

.....I thought it was a UAP !

Similar day to yesterday here. Odd showers.....But the wind is still gusting around like a windy thing.

Now it's mostly blown over the downed leaves are making it look very autumnal.

Drove from Ipswich to Saxmundahm Ambulance station and it wasn't anything particularly specatcular to talk about at 6.30am. Bit squally, sporadic short but violent rain storms.

Ran a blue light transfer from ipswich to Papworth and it was hammering it down between Ipswich and Newmarket with clear blue skys and bright sunshine in Cambridge.

Spent most of the day in Cambridge where there were sporadic downpours. Dricing home via a couple of jobs in Ipswich and Saxmundam it was a glorious evening.

The cloud formations were pretty spectacular and last nights full moon and constellations were crystal clear.

Happy Days
