No trains running in Scotland until after the morning rush hour period. Chaos on the network with fallen trees, damage to overhead wires, a shed on line, flooding. Nothing from Lothian Buses, no update at all this morning

 

Was that 99mph gust over Fife?

 

[Scottish weather discussion - Spring 2023/24]

The family and I just hunkered down last night, the wind was wild around 0100-0300. Ill go out at first light and keep my fingers crossed there is no damage, same goes for everyone else.

And this on top of what fell on large parts of Scotland recently too. I imagine the ground is pretty water logged already.

Yup, I'm in Fife ground is saturated. I'm back on duty on Monday with the fire service, we were busy last week with the rain. Funny thing is I'm meant to be on a flood response course on Monday and Tuesday. God knows what the water levels are going to be or if its going to be cancelled as I'm sure we will be dealing with the fallout of this for a few days.

Seen my first Geese yesterday morning, sure sign of a change, that and the fact it was chilly at around 8c.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Really starting to notice it now, basically dark 9pm.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Overcast here at the moment, but sky showng signs of some brightness trying to break through.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

It's like Autumn out there, hoping for a marked change in the weather over the next week or so, off to Germany, Düsseldorf on Monday hopefully its better over there.

Very cool last night, wife’s threatening to put the duvet back on the bed. This period of weather has been very disappointing, hard to plan when you don’t know how the days going to pan out. Got soaked on the way home going out of Buckhaven last night........obviously I didnt pack the waterproofs for the motorbike.......

[The changing daylight hours thread]

It's too early for me to be considering losing daylight............but here it is........... I'll not notice it for a couple of months yet.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Doing well in Glenrothes.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Yup snowing here in Glenrothes, happy that we have no where to go today the roads at rush hour will be difficult.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Had to put a jumper on last night very cool feeling.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Been very busy for my crew and I over the last few days, I have never known so many grass fires. We attended the large one at Kennoway yesterday, was starting to impinge on folks houses and the back of Diageo.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

Really noticed it last night, by ten to nine the lamp was on in the living room, first time in months.

I expect with the cut off low being in play there very well could be thundery activity though I don't think the models will be able to pick up any features (troughs etc) possibly until the latter part of this coming week.

 yes more than an eyebrow raiser that and the GFS 12z well that's +19C 850s into the forth    

Worries me, I'm on duty from Thursday right thrugh until Monday morning. The wildfire risk is through the roof at the moment I foresee a busy set of shifts attending wildfires.

[The changing daylight hours thread]

This year is going quickly. Or I’m just getting older (is 42 old?). Still lots of good usable light and weather to come.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Decent day in the Pentland hills yesterday, very strong winds on the summit Carnethy hill.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Good dumping in Glenrothes.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

Rain rain rain.

[Scotland Weather discussion]

From the look of things a wee lull about lunch time before the main event starting around mid afternoon?
