Weather mid 2009

[Anthony Darby]

As the queen probably didn't write in her diary yesterday: "stayed in, reigned all day". Well it more or less did rain all day yesterday. Fortunately not at the Oval!

[Maggi Young]

My goodness, what bad news. Frightening damage.

I cannot say, however, that I have too much sympathy for any clot who gets washed away while rubbernecking in a stupid place! 

[Paul T]

Yes ,well... the "fortunately" appears differently depending on which side of the fence you're standing. 

The English most definitely deserved the win, that is for sure.  Well done!!

Four days now of grey skies and drizzle without a hint of blue yet 30 miles or so up the road it was quite a pleasant day yesterday. Wednesday and/or Thursday we should get the remnants of Hurricane Bill.

And this area around the lighthouse and beyond is where the idiots stand!

Hurricane Bill just left town. Mercifully the winds stayed out to sea so we got rains and a few gusts though nothing like predicted.  Cape Breton appears to be the landfall site so they may see his full fury.

Now to clean up the mess and yes it's headed your way.  Good luck.

good to hear it wasnt worse.... saw those fools in the waves on tv.. havent yet heard how nfld fared..

[Anthony Darby]

Typical. Sitting here in my classroom with the sun blazing through the window! Room temp 27^oCelsius!

[Paul T]

Strong winds throughout much of Southern Australia the last couple of days.  Lots of trees down etc.  haven't been as bad here in Canberra, but Melbourne has had a bad time of it in particular.  Adelaide and Sydney too.

[arillady]

Yes came home from a night in Adelaide today to see the arils all flowering nicely but nearly horizontal. And the wind is still strong so photos would be blurred. Better check for pollen to try some pollinating today if possible or this year will also be a washout for seeds.

We had 1.5 inches of rain on Sunday. 2 inches fell between 10pm and now 10.45am. It's still raining and I have to finish judging gardens.

[David Shaw]

First thing this morning it was bright and sunny; BBC weather said rain at 10 - rubbish! Five to ten it started raining.
BBC forcast said it would stop at 4. It did and we now have a bright evening.
They actually got it right, well done the BBC.

Makes a nice change for the Beeb to get anything right

[Anthony Darby]

I took some barbecue food out of the freezer for tonight's tea. Given up on any chance of cooking al fresco this summer!

[David Nicholson]

Whilst the "tropical" east of England has a nice hot and sunny day again, here in the west it is grey, drizzling and with a heavy mist. Typical Devon weather!

[Anthony Darby]

Dry for a change today, so I'm cutting my grassy mud. I have four hanging baskets which are blooming away quite the thing. They haven't been watered since early July!
