True, but I think it's fair to say we haven't had one defaulting to this
extent that often in the last 15 years!

Somewhat more common in the 60s/70s/80s, IIRC. Maybe we're getting back into that "groove". I hope not.

Pretty rough this morning, here, with the garden plants taking a battering and I've left the tumbled pots of taller plants where they are, until the storm dies down. I'd agree with you, Dave, that I can't recall winds quite this severe in June, in my 14 years in this part of the UK. Let's hope it's that long before it happens again.
