Gale force winds on the way just days after Norfolk’s autumn temperatures soared

[maureenho]

A day after parts of Norfolk basked in warm autumn weather, the county is bracing itself for gale force winds

Great Yarmouth was the hottest place in the UK yesterday, with thermometers rising to 21-22C (71.6F) despite the grey and overcast sky.

We already have gale force winds here this morning & it is decidedly chilly, I nearly got blown away when I walked down the canal, at least it stayed fine. We never saw the sun yesterday it was grey all day but it was very mild

The wind is getting quite strong here, one good thing my washing is dry.

When I was getting my washing in this afternoon the wind nearly knocked me over  ::j ::j ::j

It has been really gusting here just now, not going out unless I really need to tomorrow if it gets any stronger.

My friend came back from her hol to find a tree had been blown down blocking one end of the path she uses to get home -just as well she has a scooter as it is a heck of walk to her home from the other end...

Flood teams are braced for severe weather, as the tail-end of Hurricane Gonzalo looks set to hit the region tonight.

It has been sunny here with a strong wind, we have been lucky as it has not been as bad as other places. Hope everyone is alright and have managed as best they can.
