It's still a long way from Ausie yet ... no way it will be here on Wed like they predicted earlier. At this rate we'll be 'lucky' if it makes it here by the weekend.

We've had nice weather apart from being a bit windy. The cyclone is still out there but last I heard (yesterday) had dropped to only a Cat 2. Of course even a Cat 1 cyclone is dangerous. AT this point it's still well north of us.
Most likely scenario is it will leave behind a large low that will bring a lot of unneeded rain over the next week or so after it hits land.

sorry I got excited and assumed that it would stay out to sea or be downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it hits land.There might be friends you haven't met yet in danger up there though

It's all relative. When in the Falklands (Called windy islands in Spanish) we had 100 MPH winds on regular basis and 120 MPH was not un-know so when we heard on news about 80 MPH winds in UK we could not understand what was the big deal. Until we got home and saw how many trees it had felled.
The weather here has been a lot colder than for many years and snowmen with signs "Climate Sceptic" were made. However when I was a child the snow was worse and in Charles Dickens time the rivers would freeze over and in London fairs were held on frozen river.
Go further back and I could not see anyone today walking Hadrian's wall dressed as the Romans were so must have been warmer then?
However are you prepared? Want to see some good photos of flying trees! I have all my pictures for Christmas Cards now just have to take them while goings bad?

we always tend to be happy that people we know are not in the path of something like a cyclone of course. It may well not do more than bring rain to the areas it affects. Hopefully anyhow

Yes I hope you are all OK. Even rain can be a problem. Either way not enough or too much. Some areas here flooded out this year and last. Not been a hose pipe ban in ages.
