You should really quote the source: http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/calm-before-storm1.htm

 

If id have been picky...id have also said that tends only to be true for closed circulations....but we shant go down that road and in essence, it can also occur before open circulations, but not so much as in the true sense of the word anyway!

Seven stones light ship ....pressure drop of 6.4mb over last 2 hrs 985.9mb at 2200

[Buriedundersnow]

people the fast drop in pressure might not indicate rapid intensification the system is moving through quite quick as well so maybe have to factor that in a little as well

[Snowman.]

2.6mb drop in pressure here in benfleet over the last hour.

 

996mb to 993.4mb

Wind has dropped from 17 to 6.

Soooo, do what does everyone think. Will the storm intensify and the winds get stronger, will whats predicted at the moment happen, or will the forecast get better. Are we in for any last minute change???

If the professionals aren't sure then none of us really have any idea either.

[UKWeatherman]

Winding up now!!!

 

BBC Lookeast late bulletin mentioned MetO considering increasing severe weather warning from amber to red for north Norfolk.

Rain has started to get very heavy here in my part of S Glos now and it looks like we got plenty more of the stuff incoming. I'd imagine surface water alone will cause problems for my drive to work in the morning.

 

Pressure is at 989.0 and it says on my local weather station that it is currently dropping at 2.2mb an hour.

[Jimmyh]

Wow wind from nowhere suddenly ramped right up here in welling

[chrisbell-nottheweatherman]

I doubt I'll get any responses to this question, but I'm currently lurking on an unrelated forum (don't really meet membership criteria hence lurking) where the resident amateur meteorologist has logged-off for the evening.  There's a member there whose family are in Denmark, and this member read a reference to the low deepening rapidly in the North Sea and possibly heading that way.  Apparently, she rang her relatives who said they'd heard nothing and essentially told her she was worrying about nothing.  She is assuming that either they've not watched Danish news or a weather forecast this last few days and are being very complacent, or that the Danish forecasters have somehow failed to appreciate that there's a decent chance of this system affecting them later tomorrow.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts (apologies for OT nature of this post)?

[RCT]

Wind is picking up where I am!!

[littlemissy]

Heavy rain here in Wellington Somerset and, after a very calm evening ,the wind is starting to pick up .............mild as well.

[martinj2]

Actually Seven sisters has fallen 8 mb from 1800 to 2100 GMT

[ihatecoldweather]

Ok let me rephrase, should we be concerned about these drops in pressure, 

[Team Jo]

Is that the number of people in this thread or the pressure.

 

Sorry.

It's millipedes

Sorry, bars...

infact, can you imagine an anticyclonic storm to be 3 times the size of earth. - sorry to be off topic but i love all things space.

Its going to be good in places, but definitely not a stonker anymore, if October 87 for storms was the equivalent of Jan 87 for snow, then this is the equivalent of say first sat in feb 12.

[Hammer]

988mb at the buoy near Milford Haven. 6mb drop in 4 hours. 12z UKMO had that location at around 982mb at midnight.

[jamesbhx]

Met Office chart for 0600 tomorrow morning. Issued 2200 this evening.

 

All London airports currently showing a predicted gust of up to 60KT between 0400-0800. Bristol and Cardiff airports showing between 45-60KTS between 0400-0600. Neither Southampton, Shoreham or Lydd airports on the south coast are open overnight so there is currently no forecast data for these immediate areas.
