Nabben, Falsterbo 1/11/06
My second last morning this autumn as a bird observer in Falsterbo, will not be remembered for any birds. Instead, the "talk of the day" was one of the most extreme changes in weather I have ever experienced. The morning was relatively calm with a south-westerly wind of about 4 m/s, some clouds but also some sun. The visibility was good and we saw all the way to Stevns klint in Denmark, somewhat 30 km away.
Then, at around 9 A.M., dark clouds came rolling in from the North. The waves on the sea increased in strength and the wind became strong, blowing in from the North. In fact, in five minutes' time, the wind went from SW 4 m/s to N 16 m/s. The sky went all dark, making it feel like the last moment on earth had arrived. And then came rain, and then came snow. We gave up and went home. The walk back to the car was in brutal headwind and intense rain, and I tell you, it wasn't nice. Anyway, I got some pictures from the actual weather change, and I think they show the contrast between the two weather systems in a good way.
