A better today today, wind is not as strong, but still a nagging NW force 4-6, maybe a bit more on the exposed bits. Cold at 8c. Managed to complete bike ride, had a very light shower of what looked like graupel while out (white hard cold bits...). Some breaks in the clouds with sunny intervals.

A Face like Thunder 'Back edge', , Not how I would describe it, Wetter than yesterday, wind is stronger here than during yesterdays yellow warning, and cold. Wood burner is now in full winter mode, and log box has been refilled. Lunchtime bike ride was severely curtailed, cycling outside the shelter of the village was impossible due to the wind. 7c and NNW force 6-8 wind with stronger gusts during the morning around 9am.

Well another thoroughly unpleasant morning. Gale force winds, yet more rain that we dont need, and 7c. Stove has been relit. Yesterdays bike ride was curtailed to 4 miles because of the wind, climbing up out of the village it was too wild to ride safely. Looks like the same today.

MetO yellow warning for wind today just been issued, we are right at the northern edge of it, however the forecasts both here and the MetO one give the strongests wind tomorrow. Quite a disparity in forecast max gusts tomorrow as well, MetO 44mph, here 64mph

Wold Topper Yes same job for me, wind helped to distribute the saw dust everywhere but got quite a bit done. Just have about 25 pallets to saw up now for lighting wood. Edit: just seen Tuesdays forecast, 60mph gusts, not good. Yellow warning???

Better start this morning after yesterday's rain, started to cut firewood yesterday and got rained off at about 1.30pm.

Lunchtime bike ride was dry, but wind was a problem, force 5-7 SW made for a very unpleasant head wind up on to the Wolds which reduced my distance as I was running out of time. Temps were 11C and cloudy skies. Dryness hasn't lasted into the sfternoon however, yet more unwelcome rain, although it has been light so far

Mark Bayley 10 'wetter than average' months on the trot, is that a record?

And we are only on the 9th...

Well more rain today, after a fine morning I could see the rain moving in as I was at the furthest point of my daily ride, and got wet on the return leg. Winds were WSW backing WNW force 4-5, temps at 11C, but felt colder in the rain. Looks like quite a bit more rain to come. Autumn, Winter and Spring 2023-24 have to have been one of the worst in my memory which is pretty long, unrelenting rain, wind, and mildness. No proper cold, no fine frosty days.

Well nearly 20C here with a force 8-9 SSW gale, given the wind strength surprised the yellow warning wasn't extended. Thank goodness its not July/August, with the same set up would be very unpleasant.

Turned very mild but humid at the coast this afternoon, 16c. Some sunshine, but a lot of rain we didn't need overnight. Fields south of Brid via Driffield towards Beverley are still waterlogged with plenty of standing water, it's been like it for months now.

Dry today, but a cold N wind and grey skies. Lunchtime brought 7C, wind N force 3-4 and 100% cloud. More rain forecast over the weekend which we could do without.

Another horrible morning, foggy and wet Went for a later bike ride after the rain finally stopped. Wind force 3-4 SE, 11C and some gaps appearing in the clouds. Didnt get wet from above but another wet spell has added to the general level of water and mud on the roads, arrived home in a filthy state and had to change.

A Face like Thunder I think we've jinxed it, grey and wet (again) as I type this...
