Widy gusts already 55mph and expected to increase tnight and overnight. Heavy rain with 4" predicted.Not a day to be towing.

Wet and windy - this shows the weather at 09:30

Goldie, do you physically fill all the info in yourself(light blue areas) or is it taken from a weather station on site? I ask because I know the BBC have countrywide weather watchers feeding live info to them 

Extremely wet and windt in Scotland, two lorries blown over on the A1 near Dunbar! A small people carrier crossed over the forth road bridge scared the living daylights out of the driver! And that wasn't a high sided vehicle!

Wild, wet and dark. ( Blowing a gale,Torrential rain and Gloom.) 

No problems though. Wear the right clothes and go for walks with the dog. Can be quite fun being nice cozy and dry with the rain pitter pattering on the waterproofs.

Only downside is many of the recycle (Blue) wheelie bins awaiting emptying have been blown over and contents spilled on to the streets.

We have a Davis weather station on the hill opposite the house. It transmits via RF to the house, then by USB to a computer where it's analysed by a specialiat programme (Weather Display), then it's sent by ftp (every 15 minutes) to our website and various other sites, including the Met Office's WOW. I think WOW is much better than the BBC's Weather Watchers - which depend on people inputting the data.

As famers we're obsessed by the weather, even when it's not what we want!

Just imagine the chaos after they’ve been emptied and homeowners not around until evening. I don’t think anyone knows who’s responsible for damage or loss while the bin is not on your property.

While the wind is so high, you think it impossible for any rain to fall at all.

Very mild here.  Nipped out yesterday (Monday) and it was showing 15 degrees.  I've known summers to be colder.  But today (Tuesday) its not yet raining and its pretty windy
