Typical February weather of recent years. Mild, wet and windy. I can remember going back more than 5 years ago, when you had lovely sunny cold frosty days. I can't remember such winter days for a long time. Global warming ?

We could do with some help from you.

I hope you get a fair bit of driftwood blown up by Doris, TO - I am hoping that the vacant plot at the side of us might have a few of the branches blown down for firewood :)

A gentle breeze blowing in Blackpool today.Seen it a lot wilder than this,but bad enough.

 

I have been down there some days when the wind is blowing that hard a grain of sand hitting you feels like you have just been injected by a needle.

Other things that have happened.It is rumoured that two full packs of Bic Biros blew over in the local Post Office.:madgrin:

Also a friend reported that his bin has blown over.:lol:

 

A video by a local paper taken i would guess about 11am.Couple of hours after high tide.South Shore near South Pier,The Pleasure Beach area.

Must remember tomorrow to put a jumper on,a bit breezy for usual tee shirt:sad:

Much calmer today - hope you got your driftwood, TO.

 

 

Sadly one lady died in Wolverhampton (hit by flying debris in the high street) and a young school girl is fighting for her life in Milton Keynes due to a section of the classroom ceiling falling on her.

Hi citizenB

I went down to the Shoreline the day after to see what Storm Doris had left.

It is strange after a storm, sometimes there are mountains of debris to rummage through.You just never know till you are down there.

Whether because the rivers were not overflowing at the time because this is where a lot of the Driftwood comes from it was terrible for Driftwood Collecting.

Less in the area i went than I find in mid summer.

Wind direction, tide you just never know.

Been down on some days a beach of pebbles, some huge been down the next day none just sand.Thousands of tons of pebbles gone over night and nowhere in sight.Vanished.

Few days later as if by magic they return.

Sand levels vary by feet , so many strange things happen.

 

It is always terrible news when the power of the storms, nature takes lives.

Thinking about the families at this tragic time for them.

 

Been pretty busy and had not noticed another storm sneaking up on us, has anyone been affected here in the forums.More so perhaps the people in Scotland, Ireland perhaps.

But anywhere really as you can never track these storms perfectly.

A Wintry Monday On The Way

http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=7991;sess=

 

After all that I will take you for a walk along the coast for a few minutes, the day after Storm Doris.Things had calmed down a touch to much for my liking.

But the noise of the waves and the scenery might relax you or put you to sleep.Next one I do will be a shipwreck here on the Lancashire coastline.

I must remember to go at low tide as I do not want to take flight quickly.

Will explain it in great detail.And show the weather of course.There is a part two to this but maybe leave that for now, i see you have all fallen to sleep.

Now I may mention a wind farm on the video,it is massive.I just found this article.Interesting in these Times.

Well i did not expect to be back on this thread as May is soon to arrive.

But check this out.

Colder conditions next week.How cold well see what the wise ones are saying.With videos.

 

Alex Deakin takes a detailed look at the forecast and likelihood of returning ‘wintry’ conditions next week along with the risk of some snow.

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/videos/#?tab=forecasts&vid=5404562702001

 

You cannot have a weather forecast without hearing what Michael Fish has to say.

Winds swinging into the north will bring a change to much colder weather next week, with some hard frosts, a biting wind chill and even the chance of snow - including on Michael's birthday!

Before that, a quieter weekend coming up, which bodes well for those running in, or watching the London Marathon.

http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=news;storyid=8112;sess=

 

So it looks like from Monday roughly, showers, wintry, thunderstorms possible.Well i can hope,nothing like a touch of thunder and lightning.

Even down South.But do not worry summer will soon arrive.Out with the winter clothes again.:(

And do not forget even though the air is cold the sun has quite a lot of power in April.

Sure I read that the ozone layer that is thin over the Artic spreads over us about now so lets more UV in.

So can soon get toasted.

But that statement needs checking.Take care.

Bye for now.

Crikey, what a sight - beautiful.
:-)

 

15,000 years in the making, wow.

And the video showing how much of the Iceberg is under the sea.

Finding nice links Ford on many threads.

 

I have just been looking for some info of the ozone layer thin at the moment over the UK as I mentioned it a post or two ago.

Spreads down from the Artic this time of year.

Thus increasing UV Levels to pretty high levels if the sun is out.

Failed but sure I read it somewhere.This will have to do.

What Will Happen to Life on Earth if Ozone Depletion Continues?

 

Land and Water Life Would Suffer

Without the ozone layer’s protection from the sun, people, animals and plant life would be destroyed. Even underwater life would not be safe since UV rays can penetrate clear water to a certain depth before being absorbed.

Of course, the actual effect on mankind of less ozone depends on the extent to which it is depleted. Experts believe that for every 1% drop in ozone protection, there is an increase of around 2% in UV-B rays which get through to the planet’s surface.

http://www.ozonedepletion.co.uk/what-will-happen-life-earth-if-ozone-depletion-continues.html

 

It is only April but check these UV forecasts for this week even though it will be quite chilly at times.

1 pm times.Up to 6 down South.But 5 pretty widespread.

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/uv-index-forecast/#?tab=map&map=MaxUVIndex&zoom=5&lon=-4.00&lat=55.71&fcTime=1493251200

 

And keep your eye on your plants this week,watch out for frosts.
