We've had a two-day battering from a strong to gale force southeaster, weather for some to lie down with their backs to the wind....
....while others use it as an excuse for some fine aerobatic displays. It's the sort of wind that seems to worry at everything, that peels plastic off the silage bales and leaves it flapping across the road, that finds the loose sheets of corrugated iron and won't leave them alone, that knocks pedestrians about when they try to walk along the road. It's a constant, tiresome wind.Despite the wind, which gusted to 70kph around midnight last night, force 8, we've had hardly any rain, in contrast to the beginning of the week when it seemed to rain without ceasing.
yes, a southeasterly is annoying and here on the east coast it booms and rattles and brings rain, and a much lower darker sky than a southwesterly
ReplyDeleteHi Alec -
ReplyDeleteMy paternal ancestors come from the Yarmouth area and I've visited the East Anglian coast in winter on several occasions. The biggest difference, it seems to me, is that your temperatures are sub-zero at this time of year! Brrrr!
