Stormy Weather II

[Serial_Apologist]

Still thrashing it down here, as it has been doing since before lunch. Very dark and very windy. What month is it again?

It is supposed to be "a deep depression for May", according to at least two weather forecasts today. With climate change, I'm just wondering how long before such a description becomes an anachronism.

A bit like Brexit, eh?

A deep depression for Theresa, one supposes you mean!

I don’t think they’d call a storm Theresa!

Across the pond they did, 2015 and 2021.
This might amuse, in connection with the 2015 which was a hurricane https://williamkendallbooks.blogspot...her-match.html

Blowin' an absolute hooley up here - wind ENE at first but now shifting to a sort of NNW, wet, cold. Temp 4C.
Yuk.

One's supposition is correct.

All over the place, here: lots of wind and rain, yet on my walk I was fortunate to experience about 35 minutes of dry sun - about 15 minutes after I'd returned home, it was hailing.

Following a dry morning after the overnight rain and gales, cumulus is now breaking the inversion cap, with a few drops of rain and rain curtains visible to the north, indicating the arrival of that southward moving, wind-veering trough/convection line; so I'll probably have rain and/or hail to contend with on my walk back from the chemist's, it being too windy to risk it on the bike. Tomorrow "promises" more and heavier showers - might make it Day 1 for my annual spring clean.

Occasional glimpses of sun, but continuing strong wind means it's still perishing cold. The volunteer gardening stint this morning was a gritted teeth affair and less than the usual length of time, as the wind was even stronger, no sun, and increasing amounts of precipitation. There comes a point when " I'm not being paid to do this" gains the upper hand! Tomorrow I am being paid to get cold and windswept, but so far it looks as if it should be dry and sunny, which will be an improvement - hope that doesn't change overnight.

A good start to the day here. I hope it stays like this!

Inclement again - fortunately once again I anticipated it and went out on an early walk.
