More Wind

28 Comments

We recently had another very windy day with sustained winds at 70 km (44 mph) and gusts to 90 km (56 mph). It was strong enough to blow down some trees and anything unsecured in your garden might have wound up in Vancouver.

With the wind came a lot of cloud cover and we did get a bit of rain that was whipped along by the gale.

But as evening approached, the wind began to slow and we had a blazing, partially obscured sunset that was visually very stunning.

Happy Tuesday.

  2. Your final shot makes the windy day all so worthwhile Lynette. Were the winds from the East? Calgary had some heavy West winds that brought hail and took down trees and gardens. It was windy and damp her, but bearable. Have a good Tuesday. Allan

    1. Thanks, Allan. We had winds out of the east initially and then they changed direction to come out of the north. We didn’t experience much of a temperature drop; it held steady around 28-29, but we had some humidity. It was a very strange system with the heavy clouds whipping past at an incredible speed. Yes I saw that Calgary was really dumped in with some flash flooding in places, too. Glad to hear that you escaped that. Cheers.

  3. It’s been rather blustery here these past couple of days! But no trees blown down, just some cosmos in my garden. We didn’t get such a beautiful sunset either. That is rather splendid with the ‘bruised’ colours that I love.

    1. There have been a number of these storms in the western end of the country. Calgary experienced high winds, hail and flash flooding. We didn’t get much rain, but there was humidity. That sunset was really unusual in that I couldn’t directly see it but its effects on the clouds were stunning. Cheers.

    1. Thank you very much, Linda. We have been getting lots of wind lately. Very gusty and strong enough for warnings to go out to boaters and sailors. My camera blowing away has definitely been a possibility!
