To think the weather couldn't be any worse for Halloween tonight

I'm in the North West and we have torrential rain and wind at the moment. It's not forecast to stop raining until tomorrow lunchtime and we now have a weather warning in place.
Feel a bit bad for the kids but they are going to be drowned rats and freezing within 20mins going out trick or treating.

Anyone else having bad weather tonight?

It was god awful here this morning (Lincolnshire) but it's fine now! Windy, but blue sky and no rain. Thank goodness.

SpindleWorl · 31/10/2021 16:32

Still raining and blowy here. I'm assuming most children will be staying home and having some games and sweets there.

It's become very grabby and cheeky fucker round here anyway on the part of some of the parents, spoiling it for everyone else. Such a shame.

It's too windy for the pumpkins on the doorstep to stay lit!

I take back it couldn't be any worse. Northamptonshire has just had a tornado! Shock

I think someone's taking their Dorothy costume a bit too seriously. 🤣🤣

It was meant to be dry in Hampshire but it's just started spitting. DD has packed an umbrella for trick or treating.

It was biblical this morning but fine now (SE).

troppibambini6 · 31/10/2021 16:39

Northwest too an yep it's bloomin awful.... I'm seriously considering taking a hip flask when we go Grin

Kiduknot · 31/10/2021 16:39

It’s nice here.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 31/10/2021 16:40

@Whinge 😂

Good weather here

I am putting sweets in buckets though fed up with the little devils taking handfuls

We've been lucky in the Midlands yesterday and today. It's been torrential through the night then brightened up in time for our outdoor plans both days.

maofteens · 31/10/2021 16:43

Windy but no clouds. Rain all morning but then sun. Using battery candles in the jack o lanterns just in case.

LynetteScavo · 31/10/2021 16:43

It's perfect here- autumn leaves are swirling around the ground. Halloween Smile

It was torrential this morning and I was delighted because that would hopefully have meant no trick or treaters and more to the point, no idiots letting off fireworks.

It’s now brightened up again though.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 31/10/2021 16:45

Perfect Halloween weather in Glasgow.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 31/10/2021 16:47

It was teeming in the Midlands this morning, until about 1pm but seems to have cleared up now. Still very blustery.

I won't be answering the door either way Grin

Doublechins · 31/10/2021 16:49

Is it even Halloween if it's not freezing, wet and windy? I feel like that is the weather every Halloween

San141 · 31/10/2021 17:00

Awful weekend here.. 3 day festival had 1 dry day!! Downpour all morning, but OK ish now. Nw too

Gertie75 · 31/10/2021 17:01

It's been lovely all day in Staffordshire, windy but sunny and no rain due.
Originally it was due to rain but we'd still planned to go and take umbrellas.

I'm in south Staffordshire and it hammered down all morning. Dry now but very windy.

It's awful. I've just tried to back out of a spooky ghost trail in the woods thing at a local stately home but everyone else is "yaay it's only a bit or rain"

So I'm going

Pawsforsort · 31/10/2021 17:05

I hope it means less knocking this evening, fingers crossed.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 31/10/2021 17:07

I'm in the Lakes and it is absolutely vile out. There was a tornado in Skem apparently so it looks like most of the north west is a washout.

Cold and windy, yes. Can't ever remember it raining much.
