That's another one over, this time unscathed. Dudley did some sabre rattling but left without satisfaction.
Now its time to watch Dudley's neighbour, Storm Eunice, a nasty little 'explosive cyclogenesis' of a storm who is due in tomorrow. This time, it looks like the South of England will be worst hit with 80 mph winds even inland, but we are not going to be sunning it here, the north flank of the low pressure is due to give us snow and blizzards. Which is nice.
My own thoughts on these ever more regular features of the weather are divided. The main part of me hates it and just wish it would stop, but in the back of my mind, I always wonder if any birds will be displaced by it.
As I write this, the Met Office has upgraded Eunice to a Red Warning. Yet, loads of messages on social media are joking about it and how it might blow their wheelie bin over... Good luck to anyone in the red and amber areas, stay safe....
