This isn't to suggest the same thing is imminent, but many people who were out and about before the 1987 storm reported how calm and pleasant it was that evening....

My Sky box signal just dropped out in Devon, the rains picking up nicely. Bring it on.

Hi from reading this thread can I take it it isn't gonna be as bad as been made out by the weather forecasters? I certainly would sleep easier!

[Jimmy0127]

Yeah , thanks for that , although I can not see any rotation as of yet .

 

It's starting - about 200 miles SW Ireland eye..

Don't get too excited, mine just went out on on the LAncs / Yorks border 11 miles Northeast of Manchester.

Current observations indicate the lull before winds increase from SSW around 9pm.  Everything still on course for 70mph+ gusting 11/12pm in the channel then moving north eastward to wake me up at around 3pm.

 

That's some lie in 

[stevofunnelcl]

It should be fairly clear by now that things are not going as planned

 

Would have no trouble figuring out where the centre is, if the low had 'bombed' (see past examples)

 

So lack of development / explosive development, if i were to guess, it'll take the more southern option on the list

of tracks provided by recent Met Office update graphics

 

They may have to send the reporters to the north France coast, to report on the storm, tomorrow morning

 

It could 'bomb' whilst crossing the Uk, but i'm not expecting anything special now for my location in North Devon

The centre could go right over here

Hi. I've just joined but been mostly reading the Winter thread and this Storm thread in the Last couple of days.

 

I am 1 min walk from Beach in Jaywick, Essex.

 

Wondering what to expect. I'm guessing wind about 60mph at about 6AM. It will coincide with High Tide. Will probably be asleep, but dogs will wake me if anything in house or garden is breaking I guess.

[Boro Snow]

so close to the event and still nobody knows 100% whats going to happen, looking at the radar i cant see any rotation can anybody pin point where the hell the centre of this low actually is 

[cyclonic happiness]

Welcome to the mad house Hollowbaron. You think this is mad, wait until there's snow on the way :-D ><

just have on my diagramme

[The PIT]

Looking at XCweather winds are looking likely to be well below the predicted value at 21:00 however it's always possible that they could increase very rapidly by then.

[DanDorsetUK]

Well met office is only showing Wind speed warning of 41mph for my area in Bournemouth! LOL i guess were missing it here!

[A.J]

Don't get too excited, mine just went out on on the LAncs / Yorks border 11 miles Northeast of Manchester.

that's what you get for not paying your bill

[Polar Bear]

Hi obviously a lot of interest in this thread,and I would agree I would rather have a warning and it not happen than be caught out so to speak! We have tidied up the loose stuff in the garden and moved the van which is normally parked under a tree{We have had one van nearly wrote of thanks to a huge branch landing on it,luckily it only broke the windscreen,the bodywork was dented but ok} All I would say is stay safe and be sensible! Current conditions for Newbury Berks is raining and breezy with reasonable gusts,pressure is currently stable.

Hello fello newburyian! Yep I moved my car too from near a tree too and tidied the garden. See what the morrow brings heh.

as it happens, the same thing has happened here. i've had some hefty gusts coming off the fields behind my house today and it has generally been very windy all day. now however, there's hardly a breath of wind....

[Richie V]

There is no eye, it is still a frontal wave with a slight comma.

[ChezWeather]

Looks like everybody is getting the 'calm before the storm' as it were... 

 

Calm down folks im sure the wind will pick up later!

 

*crosses fingers* 

[KLaws]

Just joined and wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the informative posts about the storm. Starting to tamp down with rain in the Rhondda, and the wind's ramping up.

[The PIT]

I think the low is around Buoy 62029 winds now up to 34 mph misread the scale last time thinking was meters per second..

[Lauren]

The live weather station that was linked to earlier on here has certainly picked up in the last few minutes.

[Snowman.]

Lol - why would you use that!

 

No need to go anywhere since you're already on netweather...
