GET A ROOM...
A CONVENIENT term for the person who always concocts a complicated story about why they have forgotten to bring their wallet.
COUPLES conceiving in a Canadian hotel’s “nooner nookie” – 10am to 2pm – on Valentine’s Day will get free rooms for 18 years.
THE worst storm for seven years will batter us today – with five more waiting in the wings.
A “risk to life” warning has been announced by weathermen ahead of Storm Ciara’s arrival.
And experts have warned it is just the start of trouble, with a “ferocious February” on the cards.
Three brutal storms are incoming, bringing wild winds of up to 100mph within the next two weeks.
Storms Dennis, Ellen and Francis are three of the six set to hit Britain, with the others predicted to land at the start of March.
Met Office forecaster John Hammond of Weathertrending said: “Ciara is a violent start to a very wild spell, with potential for further named storms through next week.
“Impacts from rain, snow, wind and waves are likely.”
Hurricane-force winds are expected to hit coastal regions hard, increasing the risk of injuries from flying debris, large waves and damaged buildings, weather watchers say.
Heavy rain could also cause flooding to homes and businesses in parts of England and Wales, while rail, air and sea passengers have been warned to expect severe disruption going into next week as the storm sweeps the UK.
Another storm is expected on Valentine’s Day which will see extreme North Atlantic air systems battering the British coasts again before a third strikes next Sunday.
The Met Office forecasts stormy spells until late February, with official warnings already issued to councils and emergency services to brace for situations arising thanks to the terrible weather.
Sources say ongoing travel mayhem is expected into early next month, with gales expected to down power cables and damage homes.
Met Office insiders say the flurry of February storms comes from a “super-charged high-altitude Atlantic jet-stream wind firing tempests at Britain”.
The Weather Outlook forecaster Brian Gaze said: “There’s potential for severe weather next week, with Atlantic disturbances being catapulted towards the UK.”
A Met Office forecaster added: “Unsettled conditions are expected to dominate to February 21, with windy conditions with spells of rain at times.
“It stays windy early next week and turns colder. The strongest winds are expected in the west. Snow is likely in the north.
“February 21 to March 6 can expect rain and strong winds at first, perhaps becoming more settled through late February and early March.”
