Weather Station Updates

I’ve been making some changes to the Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station pages lately. So, this is what’s new. Rainfall Data The dry weather early in the year made me realise that the rainfall data that is presented on the weather station pages was a little lacking in detail. In my defence there was a...

Ynyslas Savannah

Yawn yawn… Hot, sunny and still no rain. How much longer can this go on? We’re not complaining as it’s lovely here in this weather and the beach is always calling. Barefeet and boardshorts has been the order of the day here for a while now along with at least twice daily trips to the...

The Heatwave Continues

Heatwave We’re getting used to this heatwave now. It’s once again 28.1ºC out there at the moment and it doesn’t even feel that hot now as we’ve seen temperatures up above 30ºC every day for the last week. Before that it was up into the mid to high 20’s for a while and we haven’t...

Mist & Murk

Whilst many places in the country seem to have wall to wall sunshine and summery weather, we have yet again had nothing but mist and murk with temperatures in single figures thanks to a thick sea fog . I did manage to hobble over to the beach with my surf ski for some nice waves...

After the Storm

After the crazy few days of weather thanks to Storm Emma with a healthy helping hand from Ivor, things finally quietened down on Sunday. There was still plenty of snow lying around here and there even at sea level and plenty more in the hills, but the destruction caused by the storm was clear. Storm...

Along with some input from out local katabatic wind Ivor, it led to some new weather records recorded by the Borth & Ynyslas Weather Station here. First to fall was the ‘Feels Like’ temperature which hit a low...

Riding in the Welsh Hills

It may have been sub-zero temperatures, but with the sun shining and a recently serviced bike it would have been rude not to head out into the Welsh hills. There was a vicious wind blowing at Ynyslas, with gusts up to 60 knots but as soon as I was away from Ynyslas and on my...

Calm Sunsets at Ynyslas

Just a few photos of the sunset last night. A brief spell of calm between the storms. A bit of a contrast to the stormy seas from Storm Eleanor last week which saw gusts of up to 55 knots. The aftermath of which is still evidenced by the flooded car park The calmness is over...

Windsurfing in the Remnants of Hurricane Ophelia, West Wales

What a day!! The remnants of Hurricane Ophelia were on their way to the British Isles. Ireland was about to get hammered and the West Coast of Wales was going to take a beating too. The weather first thing in the morning was mad. At 7am when we went outside it was properly warm. At...

Windsurfing in a Proper Autumnal Blow

It’s been a fairly windy summer really but we’ve had a proper taste of autumn this weekend. Heavy rain at times, lower temperatures and plenty of wind associated with a proper autumnal low pressure. Nothing to do with Hurricane Gert which is still on the other side of the Atlantic, but decent winds for windsurfing...
