Weather

It was quite a bracing weekend - especially out riding Sunday morning! Thankfully, the wind has changed direction and it's warmed up again.

Weather warning on Sud Ouest this morning:
"Météo France place onze départements de la côte atlantique en vigilance jaune vagues-submersion : l’alerte émise dimanche, court jusqu’à 18 heures ce lundi.

Onze départements du littoral atlantique sont placés en vigilance jaune, depuis dimanche soir, pour le phénomène de vagues-submersion dont notamment tous ceux du Sud-Ouest : Charente-Maritime, Gironde, Landes et Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Pour ces départements, l’alerte est valable jusqu’enfin de journée lundi."

So, despite warnings, how many idiots will still put themselves and others in danger for that one great walk/photo?!

Well, on my walk tonight I see they have put the snow poles out in the town.

Winter is on its way.

Ours have been out a couple of weeks now. Frost perhaps forecast for Sunday - as you say, Winter is on the way.

I’m going camping at the weekend, the temperature range is forecast to be 9° at most dropping to 1° overnight. Last weekend was 21° during the day and didn’t drop below 14°. A week can be a long time in weather terms.

I hope you’ve got a super sleeping bag for your camping - that’s quite a change in temperature!

I have. Decades ago a neighbour gave me a military sleeping bag which is very bulky but comes in handy for weekends like this. It will be coming out again in less than a month at 1000m on the edge of the Massif Central. That one usually involves snow. 🌨🌨

Just stepped outside to a light dusting of snow. Not forecast but equally not unexpected givn the thermometer has rested at zero all through the day.

Our snow has arrived early - the first of the winter - wasn't forecast until tonight

Very cold here too, but yesterday I heard grus going over several times. I'm not sure whether they were coming or going, but it was an odd time of year for either.
