    Everyone has a right to an opinion, but equally if that opinion is clearly nonsense others are entitled to treat it with the contempt i deserves.   74 mph at Hun airport, 70 mph widely in populated areas.  75 + is hurricane force.   What the hell were you expecting from today?   We dont live in hurricane alley, 70+ winds in populated areas is a huge event for this country.        So yes express an opinion, but if it so clearly flies in the face of fact, expect ridicule.

    another who as missed the point   anyway  discussion closed

    You said majority in the south are getting 50-60, my main bone of contention is your underselling it. Still here is a total list of all stations above 60mph, note quite a few have not yet reported the figures for the previous hour!

    37. Larkhill (133 m)62 mph
    38. St Athan (49 m)62 mph
    39. Cardiff Airport (67 m)62 mph

    46. Andrewsfield Aerodrome (87 m)60 mph
    47. Luton Airport (160 m)60 mph
    48. London Stansted Airport (106 m)60 mph

    There are only about 10 stations currently reporting less than 60mph in the south, most of those are in Kent and EA, so safe to say they will probably join that list soon.

    Lol  I understnd  that  its a nasty storm  im not denying that  but come on Kold    anyway  enough from me  hope all you get high winds stay safe

    Except from that last part is flat out false, many reports between 60-70mph even as of 11am. Definate increase in winds has occurred since then so I expect to see more reports into the low 70s, which for inland S.Englakd IS rare.

    Whats false?  Away from the coasts at the moment  in the london area  its propb gusting 50-60 mph     and i understand it may be rare   but its not as severe as some are making out

    Midlands is ahead of the peak winds,and the places that are peaking now are getting it very bad.

     

    Not really  ok i understnd 60mph winds are rough  but for the majority  at the moment  thats the highest they are getting   some of the posts are like armagedon is happening     its rough yes  and it may get worse   but some of the posts

    I'm guessing the widespread gusts of 70mph in the south and an English record wind gust aren't enough?

    You were never going to get bad conditions in Manchester.

    Nick  widespread gusts in 70s the south  ie devon etc  are not un normal  and a english record  at the needles is yes impressive  but its not indicative of England.  Some of the reaction at the moment on this thread is alittle OTT    it may get worse  but at worst the majority are only seeing around 50-60mph gusts  at the moment  Its descending into hyperbole  IMO

    Definitely the north south divide in the reaction to this storm. Arwen was way worse for us here and we got on with it with no red warning and 2 days without power and water! Damaged fence down south and its the storm of the century.

     

    still calm and bright here.

    Lo  yep i saw some of those posts.  It may get worse  but at the moment  quite a reaction from some with 50mph winds    Anything approaching 70mph  then thats when it becomes severe

    An "upgrade" for N Cornwall/N Devon in the next couple of hours, now forecasting well into the 90s

    Sting jets still there on both AROME and ARPEGE 06Zs but the worst of it concentrated near S Lincs, The Wash and N Norfolk on AROME. ARPEGE takes it straight through Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Both suggesting 90 mph possible. But other spots in the SE could top 80mph too, particularly Kent and the coasts. 

    Yep comaprison  Arp
