I went out at 9 a.m. this morning, windy but not unusually strong. However I have just been in the garden again and had to battle the wind to get back to our house, very strong gusts. Some rain too but not heavy. I wonder if this is the worst or will it worsen this afternoon. The bird feeders had emptied in the wind, swinging on their hooks - no chance for the birds to balance on the feeders in this strong wind.
We had a 5 minute biblical deluge after a windy night. T'other half said it was like the fire brigade was hosing the windows. It was just at the time I was walking from the supermarket to the car. Absolutely soaked, flash floods on roads (drains not cleaned in how long), polytunnel cover off. Greenhouse OK. Domestic in the supermarket(not mine) resulted in physicality. Mans shirt ripped to waist, lot of shouting, police called. Ho hum .
