  1. Really, global means the whole world? ....are you really going there ;-)Don't buy it I'm afraid, coldest/wettest/warmest/windiest etc etc blah blah blah.For millennia the earth has been affected by weather patterns, however we only have a minute fraction of that covered by reliable records of measurement.Global warming is unproven and is a convenient excuse for governments to cream off cash and shift the blame on gw rather than their inadequate infrastructure and investment when things go pear shaped.Weather is cyclical, always has been and always will be IMHO.Sorry to go off topic and chuck in my uniformed two-penneth! Back on topic, I really hope these lows don't come off next week....but I fear it might be back to the old routine for the short term :-( It's probably my old fridge that's caused all this :-)Edit - Sainsbo, fully agree with you re glad of lack of recent rain and drying out time....I don't think it's going to be enough for some sadly.
  2. I think this gust was recorded away from the coast on a very exposed strip, gusts actually on the coast and inland although high are not at that level which is why I think the Met office did not go red on this.
  3. Got 3 torches and a dozen led mini lights just in case....shouldn't need the now though, gusts eased down and off to bed!Nite all :-)
  4. Cheers - Gusts had died down here for 10 mins or so, but about 2mins ago.....really going for it again! Better (I believe) as the low moves north and East it will weaken
  5. Looks like it's going to be a long night :-)!
  6. Storms thread descended into farce, Scottish and welsh posters bashing the southerners for crying about a storm because nobody cares when they get one....(sigh) :-( Childish nonsense....moderators please tidy the site up! Sadly people are loosing their life this evening and property is being damaged, I thought NW forums were better that that? Stay safe all x EDIT - Gottolovethisweather has sorted it out! Good work! :-)
  7. Please stay on topic! ;-)How much longer do we think for these winds? Will they stay at this intensity or have they peaked now?
  8. It must be a nightmare! It's been nuts this year....wonder if you'll get a blinding summer as pay off? (We can hope eh!)
  9. I take it your voting yes in the referendum :-)
  10. Cheers, I may stay up for a few hours more then....plenty of like minded peeps on here tonight! :-)
  11. Went really quite here for about 10 mins, hardly a breath of wind....wierd? Now gusting again but nowhere near as bad as an hour ago, has the storm peaked?
  12. The main rain band has passed through, we are now into the hefty showers stage so as always with this it will be hit and miss with these....get caught in one and it's torrential (as it was in Braintree about 10mins ago and now dry!)As for winds, be careful what you wish for, remember the strongest gusts are not expected for a few hours yet!I love the idea of a really big storm, until I have to chase bits of my shed roof across the park! :-)Stay safe all !
