Hi

We have been waiting to see what the tail end of Hurricane Ophelia has for us.

Like Dave we experienced brown skies and infrequent shots of a very red sun. The atmosphere was heavy.

Here in the North West of England we did not any wind all morning and in the afternoon I was able to mow my lawn. The the wind started and increased gradually all afternoon and now 7.30 pm we have a full gale. The strange thing is that we have not had any rain.

I have seen the news of Ireland North Wales ( Just got back on Saturday). My feelings go out to them and hope this passes very quickly. I understand Scotland is being buffeted by strong winds but as yet no serious damage done.
