I could believe it where I am - near Lingfield races. And daughter in Devon has higher winds.

I'd like to know if the flying bin is real.

Certainly not from today

That is so sad. An ancient feature of an area lost forever. Hopefully, with the reality of more extreme weather we will learn to protect our ancient trees as the Japanese do.

Live stream of inbound aircraft at Heathrow. Not a steady flow of planes like on a normal day because…obviously, but really impressive to watch pilots able to land in these conditions.

Lol the amount of rudder use on that Russian jet just then, bonkers. Max crosswind speed is like 32-38kts for most commercial airliners, they must be close to the limit of that looking at the weather at Heathrow

I'm on the Somerset coast and it's very windy, just lost another fence panel. However lift a bin up and around without other things on the ground doing the same I don't think so.

Like you say be interesting to find out but I think it's a fake.
