“Don’t even think about going out on the sea tomorrow”
Expectations for Saturday 14th November have been high in the UK Windsurfing scene. The first major storm of the year and one that look set to produce some epic conditions. For me personally it was exciting too; for a change I would have some people to sail with as Steve, Simon and Jon had all...
What no Moths? Part 2
Last night was the first dry, windless night we’ve had for a while so I put the moth trap out to see what we could catch. We awoke this morning to the first frost of the winter and not a moth in sight. The first night since getting the moth trap that we’ve caught nothing....
Wild Winds of West Wales
And so the wind keeps blowing! It’s always windy here, but until the last week or so, the autumn had been fairly quiet. All that has changed now and autumn has shown its true colours. After a good windsurf session at the weekend, it has stayed windy all week so far. I was at work...
The Winds of Autumn
What a day!! After a dry, still evening for the Machynlleth lantern parade yesterday, the wind and rain arrived in earnest this morning. Perfect for me as I had intended to go windsurfing. With gusts to 52.6 knots recorded on the Borth and Ynyslas Weather Station it looked as though it was going to be...
October Moths – This Weeks Moth Trapping
3rd October 2009 Our second night of Moth Trapping. It started out really windy so I lashed the trap to a breeze-block to stop it from blowing away. Not ideal mothing conditions, and that was further compounded by a full moon. The wind was forecast to ease overnight though so I was still hoping for...
BANG! Autumn’s here
I don’t know what happened to the summer, but autumn is here with a bang. Out of all the seasons it is the one that you really notice arrive. Spring creeps up slowly on us with new flowers and longer days, Summer never really arrives and Winter just seems to happen without really ever starting....
Perfect Growing Weather
The weather has been a little mad lately. Yesterday we had monsoon conditions in the morning with around 12mm of rain in an hour or so, but by the afternoon it was glorious sunshine and I even fell asleep in the hammock out in the garden! Perfect weather for the garden to grow though, although...
Wishing the weekend wouldn’t end
It’s a shame the weekend is only 2 days long, especially with the weather we’ve been having. Saturday was glorious and we had a fairly lazy day in the garden. It’s not often that you can spend all day outside in shorts and a ‘T’-shirt around here, and over 12 hours in the sun seems...
It’s Gonna be a Scorcher!
Looks as though the weekend ahead should be a scorcher. It hit 24.5ºC here today according to the weather station and looks set to continue throughout the weekend. Still not sure if there will be a katabatic wind in the morning though, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to go windsurfing, but I...
