I'll take storms and rain over frost anytime. We've already had a strength 6 storm, so anything up to that my garden can take.

The next one is looking like being 950hPa (my idea of extremes is 950 & 1050) ... and the one a couple of days after that 940 :shock:

Well, with the strong winds and lashing rain, we've now had thunder, lightning and some pretty impressive hail. With the blue sky and balmy January temps of this morning, :roll: all I need is a snow flurry and I've got the set!

The wind is howling at the moment, everything is being whipped back and forth. The lamp standard outside is swaying about and vibrating!
Have lost the Sky signal!
Went to look at the sea at Bovisand at 4.30pm just before dark (from a safe distance and in the car up on the top of the cliff road).
Pretty impressive huge waves, I have to say. The sea was right up to the cliffs and still 3 hours to go to high tide.
Bet theres no sand left on the beaches there tomorrow!!
There'll be a lot of salt on all the plants tomorrow, might hose them off! Do you think its a good idea or a waste of time??
Hope everyone on here is OK and your plants survive!

Waste of time getting the hose out, give it an hour and the rain will do it for you

Expecting localised severe frost tonight.. Out of all the weather recently lol. Very localised area here could go down to -3 or -4C tonight but this is not the case everywhere. Then back to gales tomorrow!
