89mph on my roof mounted station in Dinorwic North West Wales. I’m a camera man for the BBC and ive seen my fair share of extreme environments, without exaggeration its like a hurricane out there. Rain is very heavy and very persistent. My house is 977ft ASL Not the worst i’ve seen here mind....yet19 points

The surfer should arrested for wasting police time & made to pay back the cost of the launch of the RNLI. There would have been copious amounts of danger signs on the beach front today + the TV coverage > to be honest Should have let drown > Imagine if one of the crew woukd have their lost their lives to someone who actually had control of the situation to start with.13 points

The usual moaning on here where some are incapable of acknowledging something unless it's happened in their actual garden or, at worst, the next street. It baffles me why so many feel the need to do this 'non-event over hyped' garbage. It's often combined with faintly frothing rants at the Met Office, maybe because the Met Office is full of clever scientists who make their living through their talents. Unless, perish the thought, the critics are attention seeking12 points

Widespread obs of 60+ gusts even inland and we're well off the worst of it yet. UKV has moved significantly towards the EC wind gusts (i.e. increased them) this morning. The EC has widespread 70-75mph gusts this afternoon and even hinting at 80s even inland.12 points

Yes NWS you deserve a bit of the white stuff mate, I know you've been tearing your hair out this Winter waiting for something to happen! Perhaps a little payback is the order of the day over the next few days.. Those GFS snow charts do look tempting now and for once it's all within the next 48 hours! I'm expecting a few surprises to crop up here at short notice also. I'm also go na be brave and make a call of a few locations being hit pretty hard! Could be some fun and games very shortly... Ohh and mind the wind folks, it's enough to blow ya wig clean off..11 points

I think most of us in the West/Central parts today are looking at peak gusts of 55mph - can’t see anything higher than that. (Unless a sting jet develops and moves inland but it is quite a rare occurrence) Latest GFS Standard Winter gales for us (risk of flooding looks a bigger issue than the wind today) Wind will shift WSW/W around lunchtime/early afternoon and that’s when the strongest gusts will hit. (High tide here at midday - SEPA have a warning out for coastal flooding) Met Office only going for 50/55mph here and MeteoGroup 55mph so pretty much in agreement. Enjoy or don’t enjoy today and then it’s snow watch time from later tonight/early hours of tomorrow for a couple of days! Quick flight for these folk this morning!11 points

A rather bumpy descent into Edinburgh earlier! Quite surprised by the level of flooding between the airport and home! Great to be home, albeit a day later than planned, and looking forward to seeing what the weathers throws at us over the next few days!10 points

IMHO the level 2 was justified. I'm a tree surgeon in Derbyshire and we've been out all day responding to call outs from power company and local authority. We've been to 25 jobs and personally I was attending a tree that had downed a 11kv line when the squall line went through and another big tree went over right next to us! Definitely the most intense squall I've personally witnessed. (was somewhat East of Nottingham at the time)9 points

I didn’t go the family get together in the west end. I had a lot of work to do around the couch... Wife went and proclaimed on arrival home ‘I’ve driven in worse that didn’t have a name’.9 points

Great picture from the Newhaven Lighthouse in Sussex earlier. (Credit: AFP or licensors - image on the Sun newspaper website) The above is what I always imagine in my head when I go out to experience our wind storms...below is my reality. (Taken by me yesterday - The Cloch Lighthouse down the road! ) Good to see some reports of sleet - plenty of showers packing in! Turning more wintry by the hour! It is great to jump from one weather event to another after such a shi*te Winter! Mon the snow!9 points

I don't think that comparison is at all fair. Bungee jumping and sky diving is done under far more controlled conditions with risk assessments performed. I'd argue the chances of being killed by either of those are miniscule in comparison to going out in the sea in Force 11 winds and then expecting the emergency services to bail you out. Seeking adrenaline is one thing. Being a pillock is another.9 points

I believe the squall line just arrived in Leicester... Leicester 1349.mp49 points

Winds really starting to pick up again. This accurately describes things: EDIT Serious squall coming through complete with howling wind and hail thrown into the mix.9 points

The squall line that passed through was phenomenal, the intensity of the rain was incredible with the gustiness. Best squall line event for some years Took video footage of it, not sure it does it justice9 points

All the PM runs have for the most part reverted to the ECMs solution of a strong Euro high > The ECM has on occasion over amplified but by the same token GFS has been to southerly with the forecast The net fallout > Worst case scenario a hugh SW > NE Axis bringing more unseasonal warmth all the way across N europe.

And in terms of a whole event #StormCiara running over five days is certainly worth the "hype" Wild yesterday in Scotland, Amber all day for most of England and Wales, which will have enabled people to consider their Sunday plans and adapt in time. More to come in westerlies tomorrow for SW and with snow further north.8 points

Hello everyone! Today seems like a good day to join a weather forum. It is already very, very windy here, I'd already lost two roof slates and an old fence panel by 07.30hrs, not looking forward to the rest of the day. I'm near Wisbech, North Cambs.8 points

Latest Met update going for 57mph gusts around 4pm. Light snow forecast for tomorrows commute. Snow and ice warnings in force for most of Scotland Wednesday. An interesting week of weather ahead.7 points

Back home in Pittenweem after a night out in Dundee. Was wet, windy and unpleasant but nothing unusual for winter in Scotland! Wind currently 33mph at Leuchars, gusting 46mph. 11c. I see the Met Office snow warnings have been updated and it still looks like modest elevation (>150m) will be required for a ‘proper’ snowfall: The height of the snow level will vary throughout the period, but it is likely that any snow accumulations at low levels will only be temporary. Wet bulb temps will be key for snow to accumulate.7 points
