The Beeb weather just issued a warning for North-West and North Wales for wind.

 

YELLOW WARNING of WIND

West to northwesterly winds will strengthen through Saturday evening, bringing gusts of 50-60 mph to parts of North Wales and North West England, and perhaps very locally towards 70 mph along exposed coasts.

The public should be aware of the risk of localised disruption, particularly to travel.

Valid from 1900 Saturday until 2359 Saturday

 

Game On!! Atleast for a couple of hours, it is better than nothing.

Cold Weather I'd be interested to know where you got the 95% figure from. I did a check on warnings a couple of years back and the success level was certainly below 50%.

The weak points where rainfall predictions now since that was weak this also meant snow amounts were wrong. Thunderstorms weak as expected. They were pretty good on Wind. I fully expect that they will get better on rainfall as time goes on.

My only concern where weather warnings are concerned is that they're slow to update. Going back to Mondays storm all prior warnings fine however by morning when it was clear that the largest gusts were much further south than predicted the warnings weren't adjusted. It was interesting how Carol Kirkwood dealt with this. At first she went along with it but as she got updates she was clearly playing down the gusts further north in the shown effected area.

In this day of the internet/twitter being several hours behind event should bring a bit of concern. Whether this is because the Met Office have set hours that update the warning page which they stick too I don't know. I suspect emergency services get faster updates.

Anyway the warning has improved a lot since the 70 early 80's when it used to be a case of event over by the time the warning was up and will continue too improve as long as funding is available.

Perhaps the met should look a real time warnings as there's a lot of electronic stations out there perhaps hats another one for the future.

Anyway no warning for us another 8mph needed gust wise to make it the windiest day of the autumn gusting 39 mph here and another 35mph to make the windiest of the year. Yup 73 mph to beat.

Getting very gusty here. Roughly 70mph gusts on Scilly. Getting towards 60mph here! Could be worse than last weekend here!

Just looked at XCweather you could be right if it keeps winding up.

So much for fireworks photography this evening, worst of the winds look set to begin just as the main events are beginning in these parts. Highest gust thus far in Buxton has been a mere 28mph.

The winds are picking up here. I'm guessing 25mph gusts here.

    Dubai Floods: Another Warning Sign for Desert Regions?

    The flooding in the Middle East desert city of Dubai earlier in the week followed record-breaking rainfall.
