Is everyone having these dreadful storms?

One 🍷 won't hurt, you could be some time.
Although the coaster next to me says "Coffee now, Wine later".
I have a cup of tea sitting on it right now.

Yes, they're keeping us updated as best they can. It's not like going by plane where you get compensation, so there are some unhappy people, but c'est la vie.
The self-service has just reopened, now we've changed course. I'm not sure whether to have 🍷 or ☕️??!

They should make an announcement and/or send you a text message.

Yes, we set off fine at 7am, I think it got worse on route. I can't understand why Plymouth is closed down? I blame Brexit!

Oh, strange.

They seem to have cancelled any departures from Plymouth too.

@silverlining I think we're off to Porstmouth now, but all the docking berths are being used until much later, so just stranded.
Sounds like adverse weather conditions in the west of the UK. No one's fault I guess.

Hope it’s not too rough and you can dock soon

Where are you docking escaped?
Here in Kent it’s grey but not particularly windy.

What's going on in the UK???????
I'm on a ferry which was due to dock at 2.30pm. Currently out at sea bobbing about until 10.30 pm if we're lucky! 😱

We're ok here again, there was a sudden flurry of strong winds at lunch-time but they seem to have died down again now and it's just breezy.
However, we're not near the coast.

It's just started raining.

I'm fine thanks, but dog will be desperate for a wee!

Sunny but a little chilly here in SW Wales. But dreadful forecast for tomorrow. Strong wind and rain. Just getting some bedding on the line in hopes it will dry.

After 2 days of solid rain I have woken up to sunshine and no rain or wind.. long may this last..

I'm supposed to be on a ferry for 6 hours this weekend. I might have to rethink that one. 🤢

It is bloody awful 😞

There are now forecasts of strong gales over the weekend, with or without rain.

Wet and windy here in the NE but no thunder.

Raining most of the night, in the Midlands, steady rain not stormy, rivers are rising again, fields are sodden with standing water in places more like February than September.

Flood warning just come through from Environment Agency and the rain has started. On Sunday the Met Office said we were heading into a week without aany rain.

Rained heavily most of the day, here in SW Wales.

Torrential rain down here in East Sussex.. been raining all day

The fields around us are now as flooded as they were at the end of last winter. What will happen if we have another wet winter is beginning to get me really worried.

We had some thunder the other night in Surrey and a quick burst the other afternoon, otherwise no, but awful rain.
