Hay...

Listening to the wind just starting to pick up here in Suffolk.

Is it bad where you are?

Couple of miles south of Glasgow and it’s horrible here. Wind and rain all day and night yesterday. Can feel the windows shaking and the dogs have been crying.

Wind and rain here in Warwick but nothing terrible yet. DH and DS2 are still determined DS2's football match will go ahead, telling me "we play in rain all the time". They are fools.

I've just told DP it's not worth getting killed for a copy of the Sunday Times.
He thinks I'm overreacting......

PumpkinPie2016 · 09/02/2020 07:15

We are about 15 miles from Manchester but in a rural spot - been awful wind here all night! And rain, but it's the wind I have been listening to most!

Got to take DS to a party this morning- not looking forward to that!

We still have power at the moment which is good but we checked the generator yesterday just in case!

Very wet and windy here on Dorset coast. Have to see how dog feels about going later. He doesn’t like bad weather. He’s just done a dash into the garden. Too dark to see what’s upright and what’s blown over.

Yup we are in Bolton, it's super windy and very wet, and earlier on the gusts of wind felt like it might lift the roof off!
We are on amber warning all day,( as is alot of the country I think)

Threelionsandalioness · 09/02/2020 07:24

Near Blackpool. Not got up yet but the wind is hammering on the windows and the rain sounds heavy.

Figgygal · 09/02/2020 07:35

It’s a bit windy nothing exceptional though and no rain.

Just outside of Bristol

Juliette20 · 09/02/2020 07:36

A bit windy in Kent but nothing out of the ordinary at the moment.

ethelfleda · 09/02/2020 07:37

I’m in the West Miss - wind sounds terrible here and power keeps going off

ethelfleda · 09/02/2020 07:37

West Mids Hmm

MrsAJ27 · 09/02/2020 07:39

Very windy in Berkshire

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/02/2020 07:40

Newcastle - dark, wet and eerily quiet. No real winds yet.

WelshMoth · 09/02/2020 07:40

noche that's a scary photo- hopefully those buildings are ok.

squizzles · 09/02/2020 07:41

Been very windy in SW london. Me and DD have been unable to sleep

squizzles · 09/02/2020 07:41

Been windy in SW london all night that should say

CallmeAngelina · 09/02/2020 07:44

I posted last night to say dd was in due to fly in to Luton this morning. She's managed to pay loads get on a train instead, as we fully expected the flight to be cancelled and then she'd be stuck and pay even more.
So far, the flight is listed as scheduled, although some have been cancelled. We'll see how that works out as the morning goes on. Can't say I'd fancy landing in these gusts.

Rowgtfc72 · 09/02/2020 07:47

East coast. Very, very windy and raining.

Kahlua4me · 09/02/2020 07:47

Sounds windy here in Berkshire, but not too much. The birds are still singing ...

Alaimo · 09/02/2020 07:51

SE Scotland: very wet & windy yesterday. Quiet now but set to pick up again in a couple of hours. I have come down with a stomach bug as well so a perfect day to just stay curled up in bed.

TreatMyself · 09/02/2020 07:54

There’s nothing here yet, South Wales coast with the sea at the end of my road. Been out to do the bins and no rain and only a slight breeze.

SnapAndFartAllDayLong · 09/02/2020 07:54
