Well I would like to relive the Burn's Day storm of 1990 I think. I was but a tender 11 year old at school watching tiles, sheds and goodness knows what whipping around the place. Too dangerous to send us all home. Luckily our Victorian buildings were made of stern stuff. I remember bits but not the savagery of the wind. It may not be recalled as often as 1987's storm but for me it was something I would want to relive but not repeat.!

Well ice pellets are hitting my window here in Weston-snowy-Mess. My other half in Glastonburyhas reported it doing the same thing for the past 20 minutes too.x

I have noticed the app is behind the website time and update wise. X

Jeez it is wild out in WsM this morning. Facing the sea front as I do, very strong gusts, driving the rain through the air like a sheet of water. I would pop out with my anemometer but I daren't.!

The amber warning has already been issued by the Irish Met Office which is why it has been named. X

Capel Curig showing as 94mph gust now.!

Already been a tree down here near the cemetery, friend has just messaged me saying the Police are in attendance. I didn't think it was that windy but I guess the side of the hill must be in the direct firing line.

I am 30 seconds from the seafront I am just hoping the seafront isn't blown any closer to me.! X

87?? I am just at the top of that patch of purple... already there is a tree down the other side of town and it isn't THAT windy. I hope that doesn't come to pass.

Windermere showing 2.53m at 21.45 tonight... wonder what it is now??

Clocked 40 mph on my anemometer at 7.45pm just outside my front door. I was only outside for 2 minutes.! x

Damn. I knew I should have brought my anemometer with me to work. I was going to walk down the sea front on the way home and see what speeds we can get up to. Starting to get rather gusty here. X

Estofex is out for 0600 tmrw, and has me almost dead centre on a 15% lightning chance. But I can't understand why.! X

Where on earth did that spring from... I happen to look out of the window and see a few lines of almost text book AcCas and then it suddenly starts raining huge drops of rain, I get up for a closer look and the southern sky is a mass of undulatus!
