Graham. I know exactly what you mean.
The UK winter this year has been characterised by boring grey skies in
the south east and something bordering on frightening in the north &
west.
As I said in my last post I can only hope this phase ends soon, but the
signs are that it will continue. On the first of November 2015, we flew
out to Malaga and thirty minutes after landing we were greeted with a
thunderstorm of the intensity I have not seen in years. The whole event
lasted close on three hours with dazzling forked lightning, hail and
torrential rain which lasted till around midnight.
It was very much like the storms we used to get that drifted up from
France on a hot summers evening. But No, we do not even get those
anymore.
After being interested in the weather since the age of 5 or 6 my
interest is waning purely due to anything of any interest happening
here!

Now watch what happens!!!!


You want to try living in the NW, this winter has been anything but
boring I assure you.

Up here in the Isle of Man we''ve had severe gale after severe gale and
frighteningly high levels of rainfall. The river adjacent to the house
has nearly been inside the house on three separate occasions, it was
only sandbags and a flood gate which prevented it.

I'd be quite happy to swap it for your ' boring ' weather believe me.
