...did it turn out to be that bad? Didn't hear much last night. Actually seemed quite calm while I was 'sneaking out' to the garage, to give some affection to the Fazer.
There is Hurricane Ophelia doing the rounds (also bringing a little warm weather).

Mr Fish here, just trying to confuse you in fact it is tonight the storm hits.
Good advice from Mr Unfazed.

Batten the hatches might be in for a rough night.
Collapse any garden furniture you might have out and take down the patio table brollies.
Sorry about the frame around the picture but found that this can be done in Paintshop Pro 9 by accident :lol [/size]looks good [size=78%]

In various News outlets, the Red sun this morning was sparking fears of an imminent apocalypse. :lol :2guns

It's been as black as night all day here but not much sign of any wind so far

What is this "sun" you are talking of?
It's been as black as night all day here but not much sign of any wind so far
Strange light here all morning very, very still air and incredibly warm (19.5 Degs according to my car temp gauge)
The wind is picking up but in flurries, strong then goes still again, then comes back.
Stopped my camera lens down, made the picture darker so it looked more like real life, camera just lightens the picture and make it look dull, cameras generally don't capture what the human eye cans see.

I can testify from bitter experience what a sharp gust can do to a bike with a rain cover on. My almost brand new Hornet 600 (back in 2007) got blown over when the rain cover acted like a large sail. New tank, mirror, clutch lever, gear shift, bar end, etc bloody etc. Can't remember the exact cost but I think it was about two weeks wages. Arse!

Best advice if you use a bike cover is to take it off during high winds.

Still, it was nice and warm and the ride home was only slightly breezy. Some of the forecasts for next weekend look a bit more ominous (well, for the south-east anyway).

This was the weird sepia effect in West London this afternoon... and so dark I had to hold the camera on a post to get a blur-free pic.

Fazerider - fantastic photo... You've captured that beautifully
I was trying to take photos of the "strange lighting", but my mobile just couldn't replicate that in the Pics (Samsung Galaxy S7).

Where was this photo taken?
Looks like the camera is aimed towards Harrow?

A lot of mobile phone cameras "auto white balance" which works well most of the time: photos taken indoors or outside look reasonably natural. But if the whole scene is one colour the result will come out white even if it should be blue or red or yellow.
If your phone has the option you could have set the white balance to "daylight" which would have shown the orange lighting rather than trying to make it look right.
Where was this photo taken?It's looking south from White City towards Shepherds Bush. The ever-expanding Westfield to the left of pic, Television Centre (now a hotel and apartment block) is to the right.
