OMG it's a bit windy in these parts today...

[Sparklingbrook]

Worcestershire. Fences wobbling.

It's very windy here today but lovely and sunny too. I was making the most of it and had loads of washing out but my washing line blew down!

magimedi no wetsuit. Ever again (I think I'm too fat for it actually). I've been going in all winter without, just for 10 minutes. I think it's 12 degrees now so I want to do a 30 minutes one this week. I understand about the shingle thing, most beaches here are sand but one is really steeply banked and nasty to get out of.

Horrid weather. neither warm nor cold, vair windy no idea what to wear.

make your bloody mind up weather!

kaizen - respect for no wetsuit in 12C!

I would hate to sea swim in a wet suit - I like to feel the water on my body.

Roll on June when I can start to sea swim!

I do remember us going through a similar spell last spring.

I remember it being bloody cold last Spring but it wasn't this windy.

Much calmer her ethis am - hope it doesn't get up as the day goes on.

I was camping over the weekend

Here is the pile of abandoned tents, and also the line of loos shortly before the rest of them blew over. I was at a major sporting event, (second largest in the world according to Wikipedia, but strangely absent from the TV!) And it was carnage all round - in the camp site, on the course, everywhere! The bar was still serving beer and Pimms though - we soldiered on It hasn't put us off, but would prefer for it to be sunnier and less windy next year.

oh no :( its scary what wind can do to camping! (did you mean to post a picture or a link?)

Bad weather is fine this week but I'm banning it from Exeter way next week because I'm in holiday!

:( Tits. Good luck with the banning!

Haha - I forgot! I had an interrupting phone call part way through typing. Here they are.

I just read the 10 days forecast. Our first glamping venture should be a larf ... Hot tub anyone?

That is one sad picture :(

Still time for it to change Tits. You never know.
Temps are really building in Russia - up to around 30C. Yet here - we risk a frost in the south first part of next week :(

SE.
Didn't want to know that as most mornings so far I have had the heating on for an hour at least.
Pattern has been similar since Saturday - rain in the early hours and morning then dry and sunnier throughout the afternoon.
16 atm. Do not want frosty mornings in the middle of May and my wannabe full in bloom climbing roses need it sunnier to be spectacular. They are definitely struggling

SE
Hmm! Suddenly it poured down and is dark outside

SE . now thunder and is only 12 degrees

ha digerd - it's been bloody freezing here in SE hasn't it?!

had gloves on when out the other day, never sure of what to wear in case it's freezing, pours with rain at drop of a hat then sunny next.

heating on first thing then last thing at night and hot water bottle. they tell us warmer and sunnier end of the week, I'm praying for this!

What is this new weather today? boiling hot sunshine for half an hour then heavy rain. Now there is thunder and lightning.

Is that new for you this week Sparkling? It's been our usual pattern these past few days without the T&L. Should be calm tomorrow :)

The pitch black and heavy rain is washing in and out like a yoyo.

Apparently there have been some funnel clouds reported today.

Funnelling rain onto my house mainly OYBBK

I got towels dry today

Have had such unremarkable weather I'd almost forgotten about here

But today in Edinburgh we had a really warm sunny morning and then a nice wee thunder storm this afternoon.

Tis funny the weather section! A bit like the room of requirements
