What's the weather where you're at.

[Robinredbreast]

Force ten from Navarone!!




Oh no that's a film ain't it?

Yep it is, but what about the song, Guns of Navarone, The skatlilites ?



If it blows your hat off, then that's a gale!

 

[Lamont D]

Never heard of it!
The skatilites, sound like a reggae band???


What's it got to do with the weather?


'The answer, my friend is, blowin' in the wind.

Stevie Wonder lyrics!

I've got a cover version by Stevie somewhere on my music.

Dark, damp and miserable looking out there, but at least it's quieter at the moment

Very windy and a little wet.
Must be a gale or something.

What wind speed IS a gale?

13.9 to 24.5. metres per second. That is average wind, not gusts.

 

[adrian207]

13.9 to 24.5. metres per second. That is average wind, not gusts.

So what would it be classed as beyond 24.5 please

 

[Totto]

So what would it be classed as beyond 24.5 please

Storm up to 32.7 and beyond that you have a hurricane.

 

[Totto]

13.9 to 24.5. metres per second. That is average wind, not gusts.

Some might class 13.9 to 17.2 as near gale. Still, it is a lot wind.

 

[adrian207]

Storm up to 32.7 and beyond that you have a hurricane.

Thank you

 

[eddie1968]

Just dreadful out there. Heavy rain and near gale winds. Weather warning for storm force winds later then snow and ice.

 

[chris lowe]

Yes I did that thanks, teenager decided not to go, it's the first night back, so haven't paid the term fees yet, so snuggled down on the sofa and watched Chris Packham on BBC2.
Very windy weather tonight, heavy rain earlier, cold, so I think it's hot water bottle time tonight
Hope you had a good night at the Coalie

Thanks RRB, it was a quiet night (maybe because Southampton were playing) and the due booked didn't turn up so we had to talk to each other ha! Pat & I did try to sing a song but were told we were spoiling the beer!

Has been another sunny day, although a bit blustery.

Now dusk 6°C with clear skies

*%"?$* Hell !!! Sitting here at the computer in silence and then a flash and immediately an almighty CRASH. I've lived through quite a lot of thunderstorms but never heard anything like this. Used to love them, but this one scared me witless.

Edit - I have never actually felt the house shake before - scary!

First thing I do when a thunderstorm is coming close is to disconnect all phones and everything computer related.
