The Weather.

I woke up about 1.30 as I could not sleep with the storm, storm Katie this time. I kept hearing things crashing around outside last night. It's still quite bad here now.

Met Office Warnings Issued For: Greater London

1. Yellow warning of rain
   From:
   2100 on Sun 27 March
   To:
   1200 on Mon 28 March
   Updated 27 March at 10:46 Active
   A period of heavy, persistent rain is expected to move northeastwards Sunday night and Monday morning, bringing a risk of surface water flooding, perhaps exacerbated in places by wind-blown debris.
   
   The rain is expected to clear northeastwards from southwest England by early Monday, from much of the Midlands around mid-morning, then finally clear from eastern England around Monday lunchtime.Be aware that some low level disruption from localised flooding looks likely.
   
   
2. Yellow warning of wind
   From:
   0115 on Mon 28 March
   To:
   1500 on Mon 28 March
   Winds will strengthen markedly across southern England and through the Bristol Channel from the early hours of Monday, with the potential for 50-60 mph gusts inland and 70 mph gusts around coasts exposed to the south. Whilst there is a low likelihood of all areas seeing these strong gusts for a time, southern coastal counties from Hampshire eastwards look most likely to see the strongest winds, and in these areas there is also the possibility of some 60-70 mph gusts well inland. Wind will soon ease from the south west during the morning, then clearing from south east England and East Anglia by mid-afternoon. Additional hazards may include large waves around exposed coasts as well as a period of heavy rain.
   
   Please be aware of the potential for disruption to outdoor activities and travel, as well as the possibility of fallen trees and temporary interruptions to power supplies.

I've just seen this on Sky news. It looks quite scary and there are many people that will be travelling back home by car. Some flights have been diverted from Gatwick due to high winds.

Same here! Woke up in the night to the sounds of banging and crashing in the garden....made me panic lol - our recycling bin is the other end of the garden so must've been that.

I think it's the worst storm this year for us so far. Fun bank holiday weather, lol.

One of my garden containers completely overturned and they are quite heavy and filled with cat boxes etc... There are loads of recycling bins all over my street, not mine luckily. There are toys everywhere as well as they must have blew out of the gardens and a few doors down the stack of kid's bikes have all fallen over as the fence is down again.

Yikes, stay safe, you guys.
We had rainy start to the day, but the sun was out by the time I left for work. It was cold, though. I still had to wear a hat and gloves.

 

[shyvas]

It's going to be a warm day today.

 

[PTree15]

It's sunny, a bit breezy and a little chilly. I am so ready for real spring weather.

 

[shyvas]

We're going to have another very warm day today.

Yuck

 

[shyvas]

They seem to have got it wrong as it is overcast and quite damp.

It is sunny, but still a bit chilly. I really want the warmer weather now.

 

[KLS52]

I am so done with cold...don't pass out, haha.

It's raining. It's a nice feeling when you're at home.

 

[shyvas]

It's going to be a very nice, warm and sunny day.

First full day in Murrells Inlet.
Scattered thunderstorms and 78 degrees which is fine because cousin wants to shop for new furniture for the condo. Looks like best days for the beach will be Sunday/Monday...sunny and near 80 degrees.

Is that near Myrtle beach ?

 

[KLS52]

Is that near Myrtle beach ?

Yes, about 20 miles South. Usually I just say, going to Myrtle Beach, but I like saying Murrells Inlet, sometimes. Sounds more peaceful and relaxing, whereas, Myrtle Beach feels more touristy. And Murrells Inlet is accurate but most people identify with Myrtle Beach. Depends on my mood.

Anxious and needing calm = Murrells Inlet

Revved up and ready to have fun = Myrtle Beach

I would opt for Murrells Inlet as I really enjoy peace and quiet.

How long will you be staying in SC ?

 

[KLS52]

It's a six day getaway but two are travel days. We made it down in 12.5 hours. Going home usually takes little longer with New Jersey/New York traffic.
