Limousin Lass Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Has been blowing a bit and lashing down with rain since about 8 o'clock here in the Limousin. Fortunately we live in quite a sheltered spot but some friends about 2k from us are more exposed and say that some of the gusts make them feel as though their caravan is going to take off.

Hoddy Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It's very wet and windy here too. I had planned to go and see the Severn Bore today. I thought it would be my last chance before I set off to France for the summer. I changed my mind after all the severe weather warnings.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Mustard Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Here in Herault it is calm and balmy. I think a gentle zephyr may have sussurated my lemon tree, but the occasional cool breeze helps to dissipate the heat of the afternoon. Har Har.

Just Chris Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 At our location in the south of the Correze (450 metres AMSL) I have recorded a maximum wind gust of 29 mph at noon. (on the 5th March it reached 38 mph), so no great shakes really. For those who are interested the pressure dropped to 996.9 mb, the lowest I've recorded this year so far. Oh, and 0.51 inches of rain today up till now.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a much calmer return trip on Friday! I have a colleague who also communutes but from Spain. She flew in to Bristol and had to suffer two attempts at landing... she said the first time just before landing the plane suddenly swooped back up, they circuled and had a second attempt. [:-))]I'd be really interested to know just how bad the weather has to be before the airlines decide to stop planes taking off. I was really worried that I would be crossing the channel just as the met office had forecast the storm would get worse again... OH told me the planes would not even consider taking off if they thought it would be dangerous... but 80 mph gusts must make landing a plane extremley difficult... I know this sounds stupid and I'm sure that it was all perfectly fine and safe... but just interested how bad it needs to be? [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
