  1. AI's power is over-rated at the moment, give it another couple of years though and it might just be good enough.
  2. A heads-up for commuters, Network Rail will have to run route-proving trains first thing to make sure the tracks are free from debris so there's likely to be some early trains that don't run even in less-effected areas like the East. If lines are clear then expect a 6:30 to 7am start or have a lie-in and avoid the disruption.
  3. I think there more nuance to it than just "how gusty will it be". You have to remember that as the worst of it is happening in the dark makes it more dangerous for drivers and because it's inevitable that trees will block some railway lines then the disruption element for the morning commute could be significant. Likewise anyone flying into the UK could suffer significant delays if they end up be diverted. Think in terms of the knock-on effect of what's happening out there.
  4. Once the fridge is at room temperature you can put bottles of stuff outside overnight while it's still a bit chilly. Colder than indoors anyway.
  5. Rishi blames the small boats. The rest of us blame Rishi. Only a matter of time before we have Storm Rishi, not sure whether that would be a windstorm or yet another political scandal. Or both.
  6. Bournemouth v Liverpool at 16:30. Could be entertaining down there on the south coast, it's a blowy old ground at the best of times.
  7. Well, you're more likely to avoid being hit by flying objects if you're bobbing about in the sea. Only recommended for very accomplished swimmers though.
  8. This isn't going to be a 1987-type event but from my experience from my railway days, it takes one weak tree to bring whole region's transport infrastructure to a standstill. It's just a bit more likely in the Amber warning area. Likewise with the power grid. So prepare for the worst even if it turns out to be a non-event in your neck of the woods. Conservatory Cam is doable but I think Big Jet TV on You Tube will be more interesting.
  9. I'll be delighted if this storm finishes-off our rotten old conservatory. @The Tall Weatherman You know what to do, start your own channel. There's money to be made from clicks.
  10. I'm finding the area of higher winds across the fens interesting, I'm assuming the lack of friction with hills is why it's forecast to be worse there. It's a day for charging up devices if you're in a rural area that's prone to power cuts. I'm going to stay indoors with a crackling fire, Big Jet TV and my cat Ziggy who hates high winds and will be a needy but cuddly pest tonight.
  11. It does seem to be the bit of Kent that juts out into the Channel that gets the worst. My mate up the road from you says pretty much the same thing as you. Fingers crossed you all stay damage-free down there today.
  12. Pressure isn't that high and there will some very strong troughs forming bringing regular snow shows, admittedly not for everyone but I think it would blanket a fair amount of the North and Eastern sides of Britain.
