faintly red colour cast today

In a bizarre twist is has suddenly cleared to sunshine although the air pressure is falling quite rapidly now and wind getting stronger. The air temperature outside is now 3C warmer than inside the house and rising!

I suspect anything loose and not tied down will be flying tonight.

They were predicting bad from this evenings rush hour. The blue sky is a milky blue and the sun a weird sort of orange colour characteristic of sunset but still quite high so there must be a lot of fine dust.

Nah it's a conspiracy, I blame BREXIT.

Yes. God has sent the hurricane - but only to those parts of the Isles IN the EU, or who voted to stay in.

What, like Cornwall?

Dark orange clouds at 3pm in Epsom. I had to switch on the lights.

I went to France for the eclipse, and actually got to see it. It differs from sunrise/sunset in that it gets darker with no change in colour - unlike sunrise/sunset, where it is redder.

Cornwall is too small to matter

I remember a shortage of memory chips some time ago after a Japanese earthquake.

I hope we're not facing the same sort of thing involving a clotted cream deficit.

Thanks for your concern. Damage limited to the garage door being pushed in a bit by the force of the wind and dead branches have dropped out of trees. No power cuts or trees across the local roads and the number of leaves on the trees roughly halved overnight. Lots of windfall apples!

A really bad storm and our village is invariably cut off without power and requiring land rover across the fields and a chain saw to get out.

Air pressure is rising now almost as quickly as it fell yesterday.

Pretty wild overnight but not that unusual for this neck of the woods.

Still quite violently gusty this morning with fast moving low clouds in gaps of clear sky. Thin waning crescent moon looking down with a smile.

Global warming?
