I love these easterly winds

[Fatherted]

My morning commute is west to east. During the last week in London the morning Easterly wind hasn't
been _too_ strong and the homeward leg has seen 20+ mph winds which have meant 30+mph stints along
Grosvenor Road / Chelsea Embankment with clear sunny skies . Looks like the same again tonight (
though maybe not as windy )

I second that -but only when I'm on morning shift. When setting off at 0545 there is barely a
breathe of wind and it has been great to watch http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ at work and see the
easterly wind undergo stepped changes through the morning up to 25 mph (last Mon) when I head for
home at 1400 - fantastic!

Bah! Mine is the other way. There is naff-all wind in the morning and far too much in the eventide.
Wind is definitely a Work of Stan, even for Darksiders.

Here Here! It kills me on the way home.

"fatherted" said he loves easterly winds.

Possibly not as much as I do for windsurfing ;-)

It's been great. I commute west to east down hill in the morning. So it's nice to be blown home up
the hill for a change.

Bast*rd! My _evening_ commute is west to east and I'm getting fed up! It's bad enough that my
morning commutes often have the wind against me. Now the evening commutes do too with a vengance.
Bugger is all I can say!

hehe...

Yesterday I went south and had the wind behind me. There was a headwind coming home, but it had
dropped by then.

Today I went north, and the wind was behind me again. Going home it had become a sidewind.

In both cases, the homeward journey was predominantly uphill and laden. That's the price of living
up Dartmoor, and shopping for fruit&veg in a different direction to shopping for everything else.

Hmmmm ....

No thank you. Life does that without any help from you.

Not a bad website!

I like the 24 hour animation feature that shows how the temperature across the uk varies on an
hourly basis - better than the bbc temp map which just gives a daily snapshot, presumably 12 noon.
