I have been looking at my weather app and the current forecast is for the cold to last well into the weekend with extremely light winds. Saturday temperatures feeling like -1 with light winds 4 - 9mph, Sunday feeling like 1 with light winds 4 - 6mph. I don't fancy being out and about in minus temperatures with Sunday only just above freezing I am leaning towards hibernation. Opinions please. Mike  |

Tough call. I think I will wait until Sunday to see what the weather actually does. I'm beginning to get withdrawal symptoms, and it would be nice to catch up with Peter before he migrates south for the winter.

Deal Weather Station has re-opened, for one week only.
Forecast seems slightly warmer (Walmer?) on the coast than inland. There's a 50% chance of rain showers, temperature of 6 or 7, feeling like 3, wind S or SW, anything from 10 to 17 mph, possibly gusting to 25mph.
But this is 2 days ahead, a lot can change. I am making no suggestions, just stating a few 'facts' gleaned from the internet !

It's not that good on my sources either, now. Still 6 or 7, feeling like 2 or 3, but the chance of HEAVY rain has increased, 70 to 90%, depending on the time, and the wind has increased 27-28, gusting 36-37 mph in the morning, supposedly decreasing 22-24, gusting 31-33 mph in the afternoon.
It really doesn't sound like a great day for the beach !

It really doesn't sound like a great day for the beach ! Oh well, I'll put the mankini back in the drawer then. |

Well it's not raining yet but it looks like it could at any moment. The wind is whistling around my flat, roaring under the eaves and swaying the boughs of the trees in the park. It feels raw.
I don't think it's a day for going far and even then, not for kite flying!

Completely different wind conditions in Maidstone. Only about 3mph in the garden, but I think i will hibernate anyway.

It IS raining here, and is forecast heavy rain all day. Wind gusts this morning could be up to gale force, but decreasing slightly in the afternoon. The temperature may rise as high as 8 or 9 - positively tropical - but it will still only feel like 1 or 5, depending on the time of the afternoon.
Keep the mankini in mothballs, Gareth, and we'll remind you about it when conditions are more suitable !

Pretty awful here in Ashford. Very gloomy and raining with little in the way of wind. Not a day for venturing out unless one has to. Mike |
