Furious Winter

Winter has definitively come.

It is arrived suddenly and without notice. 

This year the Summer lasted until October with the hottest temperatures in more than a century. 
The 1st October hit the record with 30c. People were lying in the sun in the Brighton's beach, sunbathing. In London, outdoor swimming pool and parks such as Hyde Park and St. James Park were packed. Some tourists jumped in the fountain in Trafalgar square. 

Everyone enjoyed the unusual Indian Summer. 

November was warm, causing us to forget we still were in the Autumn season.

December has started angry and nasty.  
Mild and cold weather have suprised us with freezing wind and now with strong gusts. 


In Scotland  is on "red-alert", expecting gusts of up 50-60 mph. 
The Met Office warned a "damaging stormfor a winds" of at least 75mph from the Atlantic and advised people, particularly motorists, to not drive.
From midday on Thursday "travel conditions will be exstremely poor" and motorist could face "significant delays" because of the hurricane-force winds.


"This advice to avoid travel is not given lightly but is based on the clearest information yet from weather forecasters that there will be high winds with gusts of up to 90 miles per hour," said Allan Moffat, assistant chief constable of Central Scotland police. (Guardian)

England, Wales and Northern Ireland are likely to be hit by wind and rain in the nexts days.
The police's warning is also on heavy snow in the north that could put travelling at risk and heavy rain that can caused fooding. Smany schools are closed today and people advided to stay indoor.

The Hurricane-Winter comes not just dropping the temperature but with a dangerous winds that can damage houses, blow over cars and make caos in the fight lines.

Today in London the cold air and high wind are freezing everything.
The wind is so powerful that seems it is shouting, saying "the Winter is arrived".

People are closed in ther warm coats, running in the coffee shops and buildings to recovering from the weather.

The best advices are to  pay attention on the road.

It can be better staying at home.
