Does any one else find this somewhat offensive, & undermining ones intellect
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/articles/crgylwnpz91o
Perhaps I need to explain to Simon King that perception is based on "feels like" , a forecast metric that the BBC use in their "spot" forecast
Temp:10c with a feels like 6c, for example
If the temperature is marginally above average for the the month of April how does it compare with the "feels like" temp , as most people deem a good weather day by how it feels, and not what the mercury shows
I am greeted by Postie every day more often than not .. "nice day today" , "oo hold fire a sec mate . let me just check the current weather stats for our locale .. I'll come back in a minute"- 3

I think I'll start naming "storms" myself , providing something a little more commensurate with likely impacts imby .. Kathleen shall thus be named "The Cherry Blossom Shredder"

Spring has sprung earlier here mate, I have n't been counting, but for sure Feb-24 has had more shorts and Tee days than the combined July and Aug of 23.
Sunny day and no wind here yesterday , 8c at the front facing north and 18c at the back in my south facing sun trap, the heat of the sun was weird for Feb , very warm , so much so I had a couple of hours of shorts only sun bathing ... that is a first for Feb .. ever

A quiet day here by comparison to Isha, 50+ gusts as opposed to 70+
Ramping up a tad through the wee small hours though

Some freight train gusts hitting here now, expanded on Polar Martime's advice , & put dinner and heating on earlier just in case the power goes down , that said pretty resilient here based on previous high wind events... but you never know

Is this in line with expectations? (Sorry, am not great at interpreting the fax charts)
Of sorts although Isha a little deeper on 12z @957mb currently at 959mb or thereabouts, and we have the upper trough (outline triangles) embedded between Surface warm front and surface cold front
Like you .. I'm not a huge fan of the Fax Charts other than providing a general overview of the next few days and a comparison of previous fax charts for the same time stamp .... nigh on useless for real time tracking as the update time interval is too great, we're down to observational data for tracking unfolding weather events like Isha- 1

Great what Time about dies the cold front pass Cumbria
Looking at the Wind flow for St. Bees Head , winds peak from the SSW around 2100hrs (ahead of the CF) by midnight the winds have eased a notch and veered WSW (behind the CF) (GFS Data)
Upon cross referencing with MetO Data , suggestive of peak winds earlier - 1900/2000 hrs

Fairly common for my neck of the woods , although seeing F11 on the inshore waters forecast is "quite rare" .. battened down now, winds gusting up at F9+
I would anticipate Isha's cold front will be quite an aggressive feature, more than likely responsible for some of the inland peak windsEdit: Added link to Torro, in keeping with Eagle Eye's detailed & informative post

Not sure what "until summer has fully arrived" means
