Last night was so windy.

Some UK Internal flights
landed, in Paris
or Hungary.

Of course, many had no passports
so not permitted to leave their Hotel
until the Coach arrives for the Airport.

Yesterday

[In Scotland, an 84-year-old man was killed after a
Hyundai car was crushed by a tree on the A905,
Beancross Road in Grangemouth
at around 11.45pm last night.
Police said he was pronounced dead at the scene,
while the other occupants of the vehicle
were not injured.]

Today it's a beautiful day here in London. Nice and sunny.

We were driving home from Kerry yesterday and there was a big tree blocking the road, oddly two of the people also blocked by the tree happened to have chains saws in their cars so all the people blocked were able to clear it within 15 minutes

[smudgie]

Really stormy weather here again last night.
Wind is still quite strong but not the gale force it was.
And of course the ruddy boiler packed up so no hot water or heating, thankfully a plumber is due this afternoon.

Yes Storm Jocelyn
starts.
The 10th Storm

[Ammi]

…it is very sad, both deaths involving fallen trees…we’ve had downpours of hail and now we have heavy rains …and Aston Jocelyn is on its way with snow forecast, isn’t it…?…

TRAINS across Scotland will see a “controlled shutdown of services” ahead of Storm Jocelyn hitting the country.

The second named storm this week, Jocelyn will follow in the wake of Storm Isha and hit Scotland on Tuesday evening.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the whole of the country from 4pm on Tuesday until 1pm on Wednesday, with a second in place for rain in the west of Scotland from 7am until 6pm on Tuesday.

A more severe amber alert – which comes with warnings of power cuts, damage to buildings, travel disruption and even “injuries and danger to life” – has been issued for much of the coast, as well as most of the Scottish islands.

Is UK weather always this crazy? Sometimes I see stories and think it really sounds like here, Hurricanes, tropical storms, flooding, wind and the like...

We get the Gulf Streams
fighting each other "over us."

Not as Extreme as USA
but a shock when so many homes are built
on land that the Governments "knew"
could flood.

All I know is the weather has gone to pot since LT took to hibernating during the winter months, when he returns in the spring he will bring order to the weather thread

…the US will always Trump us with storm weather, ours is very mild in comparison of some of your states…but we’re much less moderate in the last decade or so…actually more than that, 1987 was the ‘Great Storm’….
