PEMBS PIRATE

the Met office are giving gusts of around 45mph for London about 5pm.....the center of 'Brian' is around Dublin now heading NE i think

no, not as wild as Monday, maybe top out around 70mph +/- a couple today, they give peak here about mid-day.... a mere Autumn breeze for Pembrokeshire

http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ showing a nice rain wall around the center of 'Brian'...(most prob not 'nice' if you are under it)

um...its over here, on this side...

nice 'eye' http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-5.27,54.70,2162

squall line was a bit wild to say the least......http://www.raintoday.co.uk/

Yes Tony it was pretty interesting down this way, sleet, snow ,rain, thunderstorm all at the same time, that tornado made the news UK wide

60mph here now, more big gusts than constant high wind, and the rain sounds more like hail with the speed its being blown, but the worst is still an hour or two away i think.

4.6c here now, and heavy rain.

All sent home about 13:00, roads closed because of downed trees, one of ours here hasnt blown over it has snapped off about 5ft off the ground and that is a 25ft conifer, houses have been damaged in the local towns and roads closed to, still like a low drone noise all the time then a howling gust, terrible, worst yet by far.

the strange thing for me is you usually get the strongest wind/gust when it rains, but not today, wind seems to ease a touch when a shower goes through, now here is bright blue sunny sky.......but the wind is horrendous,

http://vts.mhpa.co.uk/current_weatherb.asp and this is in the harbour, got power flashing here now, hear thunder to, but can only just hear it because of the wind howling around the house......

http://vts.mhpa.co.uk/current_weatherb.asp and this is in the harbour, what somewhere like St Anns head would record would be worse stil

Schools out, trees down and sirens going past the house here, lights flashing in here to, i think it will go altogether in a min......really really wild now

Well they say the worst is to come here.......just had a gust go through here snapped a 25ft conifer tree we have around the boundary....whats in store abt 3pm is

Very heavy rain here now, wind has picked up a bit, but the rain is torrential...

unless something is drastically wrong here.....we are suppose to get 70mph+ winds from the SW in front of the 'storm', according to the BBC the low is not far off Pembs coast now (they got that right all along)....but the wind here is 7mph flat calm and drizzle?....and 70+mph from the NW as the low passes through?.....perhaps something drastic will happen as it goes inland?.......stay safe everyone on the south coast i dont envy you one bit under 70+mph winds........good night.

Just this minute watched the BBC Weather.......the 'storm' is now into the SW and anywhere in the south can see...50/60/70 mph gusts and 'maybe 80mph somewhere on the south coast!!!!!!...

Just come back from making a cuppa....and typed Milford Haven into BBC weather, the MetO and checked XCWeather, and they all are now giving a relatively calm night here....MetO giving no gusts at all.....now i hope this isnt tempting fate but that will do me..... .....but if they are wrong and we do get the 70mph gusts it isnt very good info.....

its not very good out here today heavy rain and strong winds, keep an eye on the track of this storm if you can, if it goes North into Cardigan bay it will take in more of South Wales into the 60+ mph winds....but if you are in any doubt move the kids anyway, we have done so a few times in the past, and on one occasion exiting the rear of the house at 2am in the morning as the front part of the house roof was dissapearing down the road tile by tile....... if some people on here think 70-80mph is a damp squib...your welcome to come and sit under it......
