Just about everything will be hitting some area of the country over the next few days....including thunder, hail, snow, rain (with possible flooding) and severe gales. Yellow warnings have been issued for every day this week except friday.

Please check the Met Office weather warnings for your area and take suitable precautions for your outdoor pets.

Today - Scotland and the North are having yet another breezy day. Heavy rain will move south east overnight with a risk of flooding in SE England and snow/ice elsewhere. .
Tuesday evening snow is expected in many areas apart from East England and South East

Wednesday: The most worrying event will be a deep low crossing the country on wed afternoon/evening bringing widespread severe gales everywhere except the far north of Scotland with gusts of 60mph inland and 75mph on the coast.

There is expected to be significant disrruption and the warning for the storm on wednesday may be upgraded to amber (or even red) for some areas as it gets nearer..

Weather is every volatile and subject to surprises atm


Tonight: Snow and Ice (apart from low-lying areas) - be careful folks on your journey to work tomorrow
Tomororow: Severe Winds starting mid afternoon and going on for 24hrs across most of the country. (There will be pockets of extreme severe winds - make sure you;re not one of them by keeping an eye on the links above!). Batten down your hatches and ensure anything in the garden that could move is nailed down!

Ok, so I have just been out and had to put reinforcements in place for the piggies, wow it is so windy! Hope everyone else is fairing well.
 
oh gosh its so horrible out, I'm glad i have indoor piggies well piggy now, but you know what i mean. I cant ever remember the wind howling down my chimney like it is at the moment.

Be safe everyone x
 
It's getting pretty bad here now - and we're at real risk of being flooded later.
I've put up the external food defences but now need to prepare the piggies emergency evacuation carriwrs and a few other internal matters...

I'll porbably be off-line now until tomorrow afternoon.

Stay safe evrryone - it's already pretty risky out there!

Hope everything went ok for you! I know what it's like being at risk floods. we were flooded in 2008 (thankfully before i had piggies) and whenever it rains heavy we have to put flood gates on and get prepared. Touch wood, it hasn't happened again!
 
A long squall line is developing- currently coming through Corrnwall/West country through Leamington and Chesterfield up into Teeside.
Can see the line of (red) precipitation clearly on here
