Lol, yeah, it's raining .

The media are gonna have a field day after all their hype. Here will be one of the imaginitive headlines tomorrow morning, with picture of course:- Storm wreakes havoc !

LOL, AWD. That'll be the scene tomorrow I guess. . I'm gonna steel your photo and stick it in the regional SE thread. Hope you don't mind

I'm crouched under the stairs holding a metal tray above my head, laptop in hand (well almost) . Tins of fruit, baked beans and bread, milk (which I've kept in my cooler bag). I've tied down the wheely bin with a metal chain (just in case ) Is the storm here yet?!

You can say what you like. This output is still a big factor and I expect the UKMO and ECM to downgrade 'slightly' tomorrow. And BTW I'm gutted. Was hoping this was gonna be the real deal .

Dodgy run, indeed, but it is interesting for us weather enthusiasts, and the UKMO won't be ignoring this.

Big downgrade on that 18z GFS. Interesting.

At this stage, looks like a typical strong autumm gale. Based on current charts, comparing with the '87 storm is ridiculous - nowhere near, at the moment, and the charts would have change dramatically, which is unlikely.
