As forecast storm Eunice followed close on the heels of Dudley. For us there was no doubting that Eunice was the worst of the two storms.
I think it’s worth pointing out here that my weather station is set up to monitor the wind speeds in our garden rather than compete with professionally set up weather stations. Hence the wind speeds I record bear no comparison to wind speeds mentioned in the mainstream media. I usually make a note when wind gusts exceed 20 mph. In summer gusts around such a speed will cause damage to plants in the garden. Fortunately, through the summer months, such wind gusts don’t occur regularly but through autumn and winter they are much more common.
