Aiden2012 Very distant rumbles in Bempton.

Again today the wind was a pain, force 4-5 N, not the worst direction for my bike ride, but still annoying. Starting to dry up again after Sundays rain, and quite a bit of sun which has been hazy at times. 12C at lunchtime

Last couple of days have been better, dry, and after a lot of early cloud today its turned out sunny. There is still a nagging on shore NE breeze that has kept it cooler today, but still pleasant. Lunchtime brought 12C with a backing SE wind force 3-4, and partly cloudy. Cloud now gone and sun properly out, its also warmed up a couple more degrees

Looking at MetO figures it looks like 25mm+ rain fell yesterday over a large part of eastern England. I assume we are on course for a wetter than average month again. Today is better, just that the wind is a pain again, making lunchtime ride difficult. Wind S force 5-7, temps 12C and partly cloudy. Everywhere is now looking waterlogged after drying up a bit last week.

Finally brightening up here, stopped raining about an hour ago, what foul day.

Absolutely bucketing down this morning at the coast, cold wet and windy. We are having usual Sunday breakfast in Brid and all the old flood spots are reappearing.

Wold Topper I was helping my sister in law move yesterday, fortunately the showers managed to miss Hull while loading and miss Brid while offloading. Based on recent weather it could have been a lot worse. A very heavy shower towards Driffield and a bright rainbow, but couldn't get a pic. Dry in Beverley and at home.

Derbyshire_snow Local FB groups are reporting sleet and wet snow but no snow on the ground.

A Face like Thunder Yes today has started with showers, which even had a few wintery bits in earlier according to Mrs Mike57. 5C, and a strong northerly wind this morning. I dont mind cold but this wind and wet just seems never ending this winter. Stove is lit and will be burning most of the day again.

RebsAbbo Yes the noise from overloaded clogged mowers was evident in our village yesterday afternoon. I should have cut ours yesterday, but also had loads of other jobs to do. Needless to say we are back to the same old wet today. Still raining at lunchtime but appears to have stopped now. Cold at 7c. Cycling is off until Thursday due to bike needing repairs, a walk at lunchtime resulted in me getting wet.

Not sure where that gale last night came from. Around 10pm really blowing hard, according to MetO max gust in Bridlington was 38mph, I would estimate 50mph + here. Not too bad this morning, some showers about but also some sun, but cold and still windy.

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
