Storm Isha

[Brandane]

Dry, but heavy winds here yesterday, especially after it went dark. I took my mutt for a walk about 18.30 and nearly got blown over from behind. There were 2 fallen from the wall, house for sale signs ( just glad they didn't fall on me and my mutt ! ) on the pavement, but nothing else to report.

You been reading the Daily Express Accy? What are these "heavy winds" of which you speak?
Rain is HEAVY; winds are STRONG!
Same goes for numbers (contestants on Pop-Master please note). It's the high or low 20's; not early or late 20's. Unless you are talking about a time frame obviously. e.g. 1929 was in the late 20's; 1922 was in the early 20's... When playing Pop Master you hope for a score in the high 20's, or low 20's!

What time did you leave work?
Here Isha had stopped early morning, but Jocelyn has started in earnest about half an hour ago.

This latest storm seems (to me) a lot more wilder tonight than the previous one.

i thought so certainly more windy than yesterday afternoon .

The wind outside is roaring through the trees.

Just thinking that myself too. Certainly sounds worse outside. Much depends on the wind direction, rather than its actual speed, for us. Here's hoping for no damage. Tired of all these storms 😫.

UK weather: Why have there been so many storms this year?​

Not as windy outside as this time Sunday. Gusting at around 15mph, a steady 15mph on Sunday, gusting to over twice that.

I don't know which is worse. Battling the 'storms', or hearing the ridiculous names they give them! It's only in the last 4 or 5 years we've had to endure silly names for what was once of a day, just typical winter weather.

Getting lively outside now.

The names are only "stupid" if you don't realise that they are actual names used for people.
And they first named them, for the UK & Ireland, in 2015*.
