Awww I just posted in the weather thread and used the word hooley too It’s pretty blowy here right now , worse than it’s been all afternoon ....but should be finished by about 11 , apparently 

I never know which way to spell it, we spell it both ways up here I use both ways too if I'm honest...whatever it's getting worse now

I'm used to gales here Baz being right on the coast, I know it's bad out there at the moment and the gusts are getting stronger and more constant, but there is nothing around me that can cause any damage  Like I said, the electric is my biggest worry and I hope it lasts until I get to sleep

Pam had that Baz, the foggy hazy stuff...I had bright sunshine, it was like a summers afternoon. 

I wish I had gone outside the door and tried to take a photie at work  Might have been too dark though

Yes, I never thought to,take one either ....tbh when the orange sun first appeared I couldn’t quite work out why it was different from normal  It wasn’t until the sky went yellow that I realised it must have been Sahara dust

it was all over Pam, some were really pea soupers...Cumbria had the sunny slot 

the wind is one constant gust now, for Cumbrians that means thick coat weather
