Bigbob Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 I've just laid the hanging baskets on the ground put the picnic set in the garage and moved anything else laying about the winds fair getting up and the rain is getting heavier just a case of sitting it out tonight and seeing if there's any damage tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam triple Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Had it this morning in Hampshire , they cancelled Great South Run , nothing much but heavy rain , as someone said earlier nothing more than an autumnal storm but met office jumping on climate change agenda by hyping it up , let’s hope they’re right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Well we shot the ESP Reg at Sporting Targets this morning, weather forecast had been pretty awful. We got round with 6 spots of rain and some gusty wind. Afterwards I went shopping in Stamford as the heavy rain stopped and the sun came out. Now back at home, heavy rain and heavy wind, so happy to stay indoors and see what tomorrow brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmm243 Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Am in n Ireland. Had plenty of wind but not much rain until about 4pm. The wind was very string but thankfully has done no damage to our house. Spent yesterday evening bringing in the summer chairs etc and strapping down the bee hives. My parents house has some big branches off a few beech trees but no trees down. While it eas bad at times j think it was not as bad as forecast and certainly not as bad as the big storm we had easrky in the year which totally destroyed my greenhouse.

Minky Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Well down here in the soft south, there's been an amount of Rain, a bit breezy but nothing out of the ordinary. BUT when I went out to the bins this afternoon it was a raw wet cold. Roll on global warming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 (edited) We had a Yellow weather warning which is now normal on a cloudy day with the threat of rain showers , I was out along the river at 7 am and apart from cloudy it stayed dry , got home and within an a hour the wind got up with about medium rain , around dinnertime it got heavy and cleared away around 5 ish , just took my dog out and the moon is shining and the wind have died down so another Yellow warning have passed with no mishap ,next week should be a half tidy week , the other half I am not sure about Edited October 20 by marsh man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMc Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 All good, spent the morning arranging things that could blow/break away or tucked in to the fence on the ground. Got the concrete and pavers treated with hypochlorite in anticipation of heavy rain, got a few showers and that was it. Not much in the way of trees or damage, got the odd strong gust of wind, outside wasn't too bad either 😛. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
