Hurricane Ophelia...

[Nicos]

Just wanted to wish anyone in it's path an uneventful couple of days.

Thinking of you all x

[Thelma Sanders]

Yes, stay safe everyone - aside from the gales, the predicted wave heights are a scary 35ft so I wouldn't want to be near the coast.

Thanks Nicos, I'm sure we will be ok in London (famous last words), but fellow grapes might get some rotten weather.
So, as Nicos said, take good care everyone, don't no one go missing

[Greenleaves]

Keep safe those of you in the path of Ophelia....please let us know you are all OK

Red warnings for a few areas here in Ireland, with a lot of the Schools closed as a precaution.
We should miss the guts of it in Co. Dublin - just 80 mph winds to contend with.

Strangely not a breath of wind today or this evening.

[Nannysally99]

Hopefully not the calm before the storm Kevin

[KevinM67]

Looking like all Schools are closed here tomorrow - thank goodness I'm off.

[WPG]

Yes, they're all closed up north too Kevin

[veggiechicken]

All the best for tomorrow - hope Ophelia changes her mind and stays out over the sea.

Oh....and good luck with greenhouses/polytunnels and blowaways

I'm a mile from the coast of Morecambe Bay and the sky is a funny yellow colour. The winds from the south are slowly picking up and it's getting a bit scary. I hope everyone will be ok.

It's very strange weather here in West Cumbria at the moment - very calm, very low light levels (looks like an eclipse) with a grey/mustard yellow sky.

Good luck everyone.
