A gale from the east is the worst direction for me as there is no shelter on any of my dog walking routes. Fortunately it has just swung round to the south west and the rain is due to stop within the next couple of hours. Heavy rain most of the day with winds constantly above 60 mph and a maximum of 75 mph. Not a day for stepping out of the car even for the Burn of Catpund which was in full flow.
