What a night ! Went to bed early and was soon fast asleep. Weather had been pleasant with no warning of what was to come ! Woke up soon after at about 11 p.m. as a strong sandstorm moved in from the west. Near hurricane force winds and blinding, choking sands hit us hard for a good one hour ! One large window broken, staff all up and barricading up the other windows and doors. Sand everywhere !
Then dead calm with clear skies followed by brief rain shower. This morning weather changing every few minutes - clear, sunny skies, no wind, too much wind, a heavy rain shower and another sandstorm leading to another broken window !
Even now its turning very cloudy again... what else can we get ?
Early morning
Then suddenly more strong winds this time from the north
Then heavy rain
And then sunshine - all within one hour !
But we managed to escape to go visit the camel races... but that is another story !
Brilliant photos Swiss, we have snow showers forcast for this afternoon but at the moment it's cold and sunny.
It sounds like last Thursday in Liverpool------minus the sun and sand
Its uncanny isnt it? There must be a "short circuit" in the world weather system somewhere! We had a terrible night here last night, winds were just awesome! Of course the weather forecast didn't mention it!
Very true Carrot... I am always looking at Accuweather... yet recently it has been well off the mark !
It is wierd weather...we have had beautiful sunshine this morning and then just now the biggest hailstones I have ever seen, the whole moor is just white with them ...roll on summer!
