Windy – therefore, still here

Saturday 18th May 2024, 12.05pm (day 4,650)

Anemometer, 18/5/24

I was supposed to be flying out of St Helena today, but I, and the, roughly, 75 other people due to make this trip have been obliged to stay there for another 24 hours thanks to the fierce and gusty winds which were blowing over the island, despite it being otherwise a nice, sunny and quite warm day. Of the six flights I have now made to and from St Helena, two of them have been so delayed. Well, never mind, there are worse places to wait it out. The anemometer was spotted above the Castle in Jamestown, and seemed appropriate. The wonkiness of the background is not my error: much of St Helena actually does look so non-perpendicular.

Windy

Thursday 21st December 2023, 3.50pm (day 4,501)

Bin down, 21/12/23

Wind is the hardest weather condition of all to capture adequately on camera — but it was very windy today. We will rebuild, however.

On Garth Hill

Sunday 19th November 2023, 11.45am (day 4,469)

Garth Hill chair

I did get better pictures today but none which epitomised the day quite so well. Garth Hill became County Top #2 of the weekend, but the weather on its summit was, to coin a phrase, utter shite. What this chair was doing up there I have no idea but perhaps it had just been blown there from someone’s garden half a mile away. For the full tale of woe see my other blog.

Breezy day

Saturday 24th September 2016, 11.20am (day 1,857)

Breezy, 24/9/16

After a long spell of extended summery weather, things may be changing. Wind is probably the hardest climatic condition to capture on camera but here is an attempt.

A very windy day

Thursday 5th December 2013, 8.40am (day 833)

Blown over, 5/12/13

Wind is the hardest form of weather to capture on camera: this is my best effort at encapsulating what was, really, a very windy day, at least between dawn and about 2pm. The bins couldn’t hack it, they’re all down for the duration.

At Todmorden station

Tuesday 10th April 2012, 11.45am (day 229)

Tod station, 10/4/12

This photo encapsulates the weather we had today: wind, rain and sun. Taken from inside the (heated) waiting room on platform 2 of Todmorden railway station.

Another very strong candidate for photo of the day is on my Facebook page, by the way. Doubtless it will make its way into the next ‘best of the rest’ collection.
