Only one word for the weather here today - Dreich.

Elsewhere in Scotland I know that the current weather would be described as “minging”.

It was warm & sunny but not so hot that it was cracking t' flags, then the clouds came over and it looked like it was going to bang it down. It didn't though. It's was fair to middling.

It’s a hoor of a wind here in Shetland.

How do you spell whore, pronounced the Scottish way?!!

It's chucking it down. But earlier on, it were that sunny we were sweatin' cobs.

ILoveDaveGrohl · 11/10/2018 23:05

It's Baltic, teeming and blowing a hoolie.

DustyMaiden · 11/10/2018 23:12

I would say it’s been glorious but Google says I should say amazeballs.

kissmelittleass · 11/10/2018 23:14

This afternoon was lovely even warm but we are in for a big storm tonight and up to tomorrow afternoon. Wind picking up now howling away I hope the trampoline stays put 😮

Lessstressedhemum · 11/10/2018 23:36

So, now it's bucketing doon and blawin' a hoolie. It'd fair burn your biscuits.

LanguidLobster · 11/10/2018 23:42

Oooh I don't know. Personally I always just say cold, warm, hot, stormy, rainy, humid etc. Feel boring now.

I'll try to track down a local tomorrow and see if they have anything more interesting.

@MrsAmaretto, it's 'who-er' I think!

It was teeming down yesterday but today it's just miserable.

TuMeke · 12/10/2018 08:24

Yesterday was pretty choice, but today it’s turned to custard and I’m back out of my jandals Smile
