Every reload gives a different forecast

What a lot of weather we've been having.

First, two weeks at the beginning of October turned up early for December, and brought with them some nights of frost. Next there were two weeks of warmish weather, followed by a week of warm dampness presumably ordered by the mosquitos, who were ecstatic.

Yesterday an electrical storm promised for July was finally delivered; last night the missing equinoctial gales arrived and the house almost achieved take-off[0].

At present rain is emptying the clouds so fast they can't refill. Sunlight strained through the waterfall makes a strange citrus yellowness.

[0] Fortunately not quite, because fluffy pink slippers don't have heels to click.

UPDATE: Suddenly the wind has dropped. Very suddenly. Did the Earth stop turning?
