How's your weather.

20 degrees, windy and dry in Coventry. Great for washing ?

[Thalestris24]

Continuing wetness here today though, unusually, not also windy. So the rain is moving slowly. May be gone by about 5pm but will be overcast for the rest of the day. Cool - about 12 deg.

Lousie very much the same here on the East coast; I think there was a lot of rain last night.  No imaging tonight for sure

13:38, Raining, calm, no wind! Just the patter of rain and the birds chirping.
Unsure why its oh-so quiet otherwise?

Lol would it be wrong to say that makes me feel better - the universe does not have it in for me

Yeah we're all at the mercy of the elements! At least the uk doesn't get hurricanes like Michael though the storm we had the other week brought down a number of trees around here.

I'm hoping the worst of the rain holds off here, but right now we have ten hours of heavy rain forecast for tomorrow.  This morning I discovered the remains of a roofing tile on the ground behind the house.  The wind is gusting far too badly to be up a ladder fixing things at the moment, but even then the problem is complicated by the fact that it isn't possible to buy tiles in a matching profile any more.  Not looking forward to dealing with that one

And typically, as the forecast rain starts, at around 3am tomorrow, the wind also swings around so that it will be driven at the side of the roof that the tile fell from.

Raining again here too  but the wind isn't too bad.

Oh dear, James - it never rains but it pours…. Hope you don't leak too much

T-shirt weather here, 24 deg. Forecast says 18 deg min tonight, warmer than the forecast for tomorrow, when it's due to tip it down, then cool for most of the week. Blew a bit last night and a bit windy today but nothing serious.

[Charic]

Folk could be buying new gear now, without having that guilt trip that all this rain was caused by a lens purchase, you know the curse!

[ShrewView]

Was t shirt temperature here earlier. got to 21c. Just the strong wind and rain that was off putting. Still, nowhere near as bad as others have it, so lucky really.

 

 

[Thalestris24]

Well I've got a jumper on! Still raining

Louise

[Gina]

Same here!

Mea culpa. In the last week or so I have bought a telescope and a finder-guider and sold a ccd camera and a (different) telescope, with another telescope up for grabs at the moment.

[JamesF]

Despite the wind and rain it's still relatively warm here, too.  I'm still in t-shirt and shorts.

It's not fair! I was just thinking about putting the heating on  But I'll settle for the lentil curry I'm making instead ?

To be honest, what I think of as acceptable weather for t-shirt and shorts may not be something that's shared by the majority of the population

Not going to be much observing in Derby tonight I think judging by the sky at the moment although it is currently 21.  ?

 

[kev]

James. Look for someone reroofing locally and negotate a few tiles.   

[JamesF]

I hope Welsh SGLers are doing ok.  There are some horrendous pictures of flooding on the news today, including along the Usk around Gilwern and Crickhowell.  Many years ago we lived along that stretch of the river and still have friends there.

[cloudsweeper]

Mea culpa - just bought a Skytee plus ADM saddles and a guidescope mount.  Photos to follow.

But you can never tell.  Two days ago, it was lousy all day, but by evening, all clear, and I got a decent short session in!  

Doug.

It's raining again!  But at least it's not horizontal!!

[Dave_D]
