Hurricane watch...

[classic33]

There's a bit of cloud in the blue sky!

 

[classic33]

Almost on time, if the clocks went untouched, the rain arrives.

 

[trampyjoe]

Man I'm pissed off ... woke up this morning (an hour earlier than usual as my 2 year old doesn't get the concept of that extra hour in bed) and there is clear blue sky and a slight breeze.

@classic33 where does one get a refund?

 

[Arch]

Looks like it rained overnight, but it's fine at the moment.

 

[martint235]

Bright blue sky in SE London. The bus people have even managed to repair the bus stop across the road and we know they never come out if there's a hint that the weather could be anything but perfect.

Apparently the shopping forecast last night or this morning, featured a "violent storm 11" and a "hurricane 12". I've never managed to catch a force 12 warning dammit.

[Hitchington]

I had a stray blue carrier bag go past my window 2 minutes ago...

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I might go back to sleep here and listen to the gentle drum of rain on the window.

 

[Arch]

It's one of my favourite pedantic points, that people talk about "a force 10 gale". Force 10 isn't a gale, it's a storm!

 

[TVC]

Looks like the eye if the storm will pass over Leicester according to the beeb. Which means a bit breezy with drizzle.

 

[classic33]

Man I'm ****ed off ... woke up this morning (an hour earlier than usual as my 2 year old doesn't get the concept of that extra hour in bed) and there is clear blue sky and a slight breeze.

@classic33 where does one get a refund?

No refunds, its second half comes later today.

[QUOTE 2733060, member: 9609"]My favourite shipping forecast term is 'Severe Icing' occasionally mentioned for South East Iceland, makes me feel all cosy as i lie in my bed.[/quote]

It is just a reference to the Icelandic version of 'Bake Off'

 

[Jefferson Meriwether]

Sunshine and partially blue sky here.
