Weather update

Quite strong winds, if not gales, here in the northwest today. It's dreich with drizzle and quite warm at 9C / 48F. Fog appears to be receding in the south of England, where it causes all the havoc with the flights. But it isn't gone yet, and neither are the delays. I see people on TV, stuck at airports, wanting to fly to a destination within the UK. Trains, buses, anyone?

Outside the UK, Tropical Cyclone Bondo is heading for northern Madagascar, and the Madagascar Tribune on-line talks about a tropical storm. That means winds up to 60 mph. My dear chaps, it's a 120 mph monster out there. You may get the 60 mph winds on your northern cape, and the northwest of the country will get a grazing of that over the days to come, as Bondo heads down the Mozambique Channel - intensifying as it goes.
