      Speaking of which, from the look of Friday's charts, it might be advisable to do anything plannned for outdoors that day on either Thursday or Saturday!

          I see the weather guys forecasted wrong. We were not supposed to be getting the weather we are experiencing, at the moment.

              Light to moderate rain and a moderate south-westerly at the moment here, and no doubt in BBM's neck of the woods down in Sussex. This is from a trailing cold front, which should be through by about 4 pm. No sign as yet of that clearance from the NW, but things are moving pretty rapidly.

                Fortunately the rain stopped here around midday.

                  4 o'clock - still raining here, even heavier if anything now, still no sign of the clearance!

                          We’d be getting the storm, on Friday. Today is rather sunny.

                              Prospects for this coming Friday are already scaring the bejeebers out of me - I've never seen an official forecast prediction of average winds speeds of 49 mph: one should double that for maximum gusts, they tell us. Over 8 million trees are estimated to have been already blown down from this year's storms in Scotland alone - hal;f the number for the great 1987 October storm.

                                A few dodgy days ahead up here, though Dudley is not looking like it will be Arwen for us here in Angus (fingers crossed and candles and headtorches at the ready) - had a walk in a nearby wood a couple of days ago - I say walk, but it was more like a scramble over toppled trunks. Quite scary. Sunday looks pretty bad up here according to the meteorologists, but one day at a time, I suppose. Stay safe out there.
