JUST BLOWN IN FROM THE WINDY CITY
Gusts of up to 53mph have rocked Broughton throughout today, bringing grimaces to the faces of pedestrians and smiles to those of roofers and television aerial installers everywhere.
The winds are supposed to be south-westerly, but disrupted by buildings, slopes and trees they can and frequently do rush up from almost any direction. Similar conditions are expected tomorrow.
One of this area's gustiest spots is at the corner of Melgund Terrace and Bellevue Street, where four local recycling wheelie-bins are notoriously prone to taking flight.
