Wednesday got off to a pleasant start with some winter sunshine but it didn't last long and by late morning the wind had become gale force blowing in squally rain showers. In our sheltered suburban garden we don’t get the high wind speeds recorded by the “proper” weather stations but it’s rare for us to measure gusts of 30 mph as we did yesterday.
The last time we had such strong gale force winds was January last year. December and January do seem to be the most likely months for such strong winds. January 2012 holds the record with 8 gusts recorded between 31 and 35 mph.
Perhaps things will settle down a little as we move into February.

It's the same again today, very windy here.
ReplyDeleteMore 30 mph + gusts again here today too. Looks better for Saturday!
DeleteLast year was bad wasn't it? Hope we don't get any shed tippers this year!
ReplyDeleteIt's been bad here, but without the dog to walk I'm not out in it so much every day like in the past.
We'll have to visit the plot for some veg this weekend and check on any wind damage.
