It's the calm before the storm here this morning. A beautiful dry sunny day, barely a breath of wind.

Looks evil out west here.....

The forecast is extreme for the Bristol channel. I checked Minehead and it's forecast a steady 105kph gusting almost 150kph. 

 

We did a lovely thinning job on a hill above the town in 2021. It's going to get hit square on. Id be surprised if much is left standing after that. Shallow, rocky soil and 100ft plus Douglas fir.

 

Included is the forecast for Minehead tomorrow morning

Same here . Beautiful day with wall to wall sunshine and not a breath of wind . Took the dog up on Harting Down and could see for miles .

Rain, sideways.

Murky misty.

Reasonable wind up

Yeah, it's been hard to imagine what's supposed to be coming our way this evening.

 

How's it looking out there in the west @peds? Are you still there?!

[Peasgood]

The wind snapped the pointy bit off my wind gauge last night. 

So I might know how windy it is still but won't have the faintest idea where it is coming from.

Still here! Calm before the storm this morning, got a good bit of work done... dropping overhanging limbs onto the road... we finished up the first job as the rain turned from vertical to diagonal... then over lunch, they upgraded us from an orange weather warning to a red one, and we decided not to bother with the second job of the day.

 

It's actually fine at the moment, the gusts of 120kph aren't due until the small hours of the morning. 

 

I'm supposed to be flying from Ireland West Airport (formerly Knock, for any Pope fans among us) at lunch tomorrow... I guess we'll see about that.

Pushing in here pretty hard now...

You English are going to get it...🤣

Remind me which bit of the world you're in?

I haven't told you so it wouldn't be a reminder
