A couple of ‘weather’ releated pictures taken yesterday and today.
After a day of heavy showers on Wednesday the sky started to clear over the Solent in the evening though still with some dark clouds being blown through, the result was not quite the vibrant sunset I had hoped for but the result was still interesting.
I’d glimpsed the field of Linseed last week and thought it would be worth a visit, being in easy cycling distance. However by early afternoon the cloud had set in though the trip was still worthwhile. Make note to visit again!

Storm Imogen battered the south coast of Britain yesterday with a gust of wind recorded at the Needles of 96 mph.
This was the first ‘named’ storm to hit the south coast with wind speeds of 75 mph recorded at Gurnsey Airport and Avonmouth and 81 mph in the Isles of Scilly. Wave heights in the English Channel were around 5 – 6 metres (compared to 4.3m for a double decker bus). This is the biggest storm in the south that I can remember since the hurricane in October 1987.
