First gale of the autumn in west Cornwall. Gusting to 45mph here, not quite
a gale, but it is on the sea front with gusts 50-60 mph, 50mph recently at
Culdrose. Thoroughly unpleasant with driving rain. The deterioration was
really rapid.

Apparently it's 'very unpleasant on the roads' according to the MetO. It's
pretty unpleasant in my back garden (due to the weather, not the general
appearance).
