Read my words ... You must resist festivalking, you must resist ... do not look , do not hope .. or Yer dooomed , dooooomed dddooooomed I say . Lol 

 

Always look in the bright side ? ... I'll get my coat .

well, my little weather thingy says 5.7 C 98% humidity and a rain icon . My letterbox does the occasional rattle but other than that zilch nada . 

 

Wise words. Everytime then I venture towards the light I'll head for a gin instead. Should sort me out!

Problem I'll have is lack of ppn and you will be wrong side of marginal. its a broken record 

Very true indeed. Well least we know the score now.

Just annoying as they always say there will be snow and like Greg Lake it just keeps on raining.

Yes, I'm seeing & hearing mixed responses on this, anybody with an update, might need to go shift me bins again, if it's gonna get breezy..

 

I’ve picked up my bin already. It’s not really windy in Swindon at all. Just cold rain

[EllyTech]

A brief few wind gusts after a period of calm. Wind veered from more Westerly to Southerly. Light rain. Pressure falling. Currently 1001.6mb. That has fallen from 1002.5mb in 15 minutes.

Well there’s change...

[Mapantz]

Winds have  accelerated quickly!

[khodds]

No posts from me today. I’ve given up on seeing snow ever again 

[Mapantz]

Pressure dropping at -2.16 hPa/hr

[OldBloke]

khodds, hang in there, you might get lucky on Friday afternoon and evening.

[matt111]

Wind increasing here now with heavy rain. 

[Frosty hollows]

Wind has started to pick up jere but nothing of note yet. Peak gust usually coincide wiht the emptying of the bins in my experience

[knocker]

Continuous moderate rain here with wind getting up in the last couple of hours WSW 32mph gusting 50

[Bristawl Si]

Wet.

[Chul]

Just wet, wet and wet here, not even that windy  I feel like my soul has been sucked out with a straw

@Mapantz I like your suggestion to Wunderground about being able to have the choice of Celsius and MPH, gets right on my goat having kph!

I emailed them about 10 years ago regarding that, and they point-blank refused. I thought it was worth another try, seeing as they are now corresponding with PWS owners. I can do the km/h to mph in my head ok, but I just can't stand seeing it when i'm viewing my own, or other people's data. A bit like 0 - 100 km/h, wtf is 0 - 62mph all about?

PS: it looks like the data is now working correctly?! It is back to showing data points at 5 minute intervals again.

Only just over 2 weeks away, surely nothing can go wrong from here... 

[matt111]

Shows how it is at the moment, rain arrives up north and the temperature starts dropping and rain turns to snow, rain arrives here and the temperature rises quickly.

I need to stop looking at the northern threads. 

[Ciderwithrosie]

Raining heavily here and blowing a right ol hoolie . 

Im going to have to sort out my new sensor - it's saying the the temp is 8.9 yet a weather alert has said the temp dropped below zero then rose to4 C . I'm very confuddled ! 

 

My joints are aching ( I have rheumatoid arthritis - the younger persons sort not osteo) and I'm really struggling . I know it's an old wives tale, but my condition does seem to deteriorate when low pressure drops quite a bit and gales and rain arrive .

im so sorry for those of you who wished it to snow .

I'd say your sensor isn't far off.

Not quite as windy as I thought it was going to be. Generally gusting around 30 - 35mph. The Met Office has me down for 45mph. I also noticed that they have taken a good 10mph off of the projected gusts on the 10pm update. Quite a downgrade!

Edited January 17, 2018 by Mapantz
Just as I typed that, 46mph appeared.

[Uncle Gargy]

Wind really starting to pick up now. TV ariel is creaking against the chimney stack. Wonder if it will still be there in the morning...

[Chief Wiggam]

Chimet showing gusting F8 and its increased in the last 30 minutes.... As I wrote that it's now hit F9
