Stormy Weather

[Serial_Apologist]

A few short, sharp, showers, this am, rumbling thunder skirling around at 1pm which moved swiftly away and Met Office, after promising us Hell and Damnation at 4pm have revised forecast and we are to see a sunny end to the day and tomorrow, blue skies, nothing but blue skies, all day long! It's very windy, (WNW) which is all good, as it keeps the weather on the move.

it's almost dark serial apologist..... rain cometh, head ache prickling, let the sneezing commence ....just wish it would 'urry up!

my sweet peas have a sticky covering of aphids

to your very bon apetite salymap - ......................and now first splats of rainfall.....ooops no, it's pausing and black clouds are hovering a bit longer.

Poor handsomefortune!

You're right in the middle of the low pressure system that's brewing up these storms - so there's nowhere for them to go: that's why it's taking its time! You'll just have to stick it out until it passes its thunder-by date and dies away!

Yes, even neo-fascist feminists (cf Assange thread) occasionally get a romantic urge and cast off our dungarees with gay abandon!

Yes saly, there appears to be a chain of storms coming right across us, each one piggybacking on its predecessor, with the rain in concentrated bursts. Not as much lightning as I would have expected, (roughly one flash a minute), and it seems to be all sheet lightning, so fairly muffled thunder. Temperature's dropped from 21 to 15 C in the past hour!

My goodness! You seem to be having it bad down there. I hope no major upsets result. After a sunny morning, there was one very heavy shower here about an hour ago, but no lightning. I'm pleased to say it has now dried up, though it's still very overcast.

And I always felt sorry for mice in a place called Plicity. From a Sunday School song/prayer.

I was perplexed by a hymn we used to sing in primary school in North Wales which starts "Canaf yn y bore" ("I'm singing in the morning") and which I chose to interpret as "Can I have a Bovril?"
