The Daily Express and the weather
I'm starting to think that they get their headline words from old Slayer / Megadeth / Anthrax / Sepultura lyrics!

Well, not just in Manchester, it's been blowing hard in N. Wales. My last supervisee cancelled due to weather, so I got home a bit early. A neighbour had a tree branch fall on his car's windscreen, and cracked it. Son informed that he and his dad has had their electricity gone since 4pm about 6 miles from me. Top of my village is also dark. Luckily, we still have flickering electricity, but one of my fence panel has blown to God knows where. I went looking for at it after coming back home, but it's not to be found. I can identify this fence panel and the gap it has left to the tooth I recently have had extracted.
Best thing is that my next door Mrs. H. gave me a tip of filling a flask with boiling water; just in case. I've actually gone a step further, and made a flask full of tea so that it keep me going.
Let the night pass, and let's see what tomorrow brings. May be another missing fence panel, who knows.

Just driven through the city and yes the wind is strong and throwing signage all over the place, but that has far more to do with the lack of attention to detail employed by the cretins that install temporary signage than the wind itself.

It's unsurfable and I'd die.
Massive hailstorm here, random thunder light night, got blown over yesterday, sky looks like a scene from Armageddon. This is one weird Winter.
Also the car is now run in (done its 1200 miles) but I can't drive it anywhere because it's bloody flooded everywhere; argggghh!

Ok so its only a "megastorm" kicking off from tomorrow, that should mean the first weekend in weeks where there hasn't been a weekend apocalypse on the front page of the DE.

In all seriousness it looks horrendous in the flood hit areas, about time we got some decent dry days and rid of these constant storms.
If we have a wet summer as well, then well.....

It has been a warm day here today, even for me. I hardly used heating in the car and at my workplaces, and had to take my jumper off for the last stint. Drank loads of water as well. I hope it remains like that, but someone from other office has just informed that it may be snowing in a bit. 
I think he's bullsh$tting.

Supposed to be a positively Caribbean like 18C here and clear blue skies on Sunday, get ready for the Friday "Britain hotter than Death Valley, millions to flock from many countries as Britain to become number one holiday destination" headline!

But the really dramatic weather will start on Friday night when two 'battling' weather systems will fight it out over Britain.
The resulting carnage will trigger tornadoes and fierce winds, enormous hailstorms and potentially DEADLY lightning strikes.
