How low will it go, UKMO still deepening the storm into tomorrow afternoon before it starts to fill and it's already down to 945mb!

[Mapantz]

Prepare yourself in the south east, the worst is to come tonight. Definitive damage to buildings and trees being uprooted! Stay safe.

Squall hitting as I type this, oh boy! 

That came through here (Bristol) about an hour and a half ago and the rain is something else

[Mal_UK]

Is the squall likely to make it to SE England?

 

Thanks,

Looks like everyone panicked here and went home early. Easiest dry home I ever had. Hardly any wind when I left work. Got half way up our road and there was a swishing as I met the wind from the quarry.

Averaging 24mph here gusting 42 mph got away with it today.

Its bad enough in Brighton as it is.. & I am meant to pick up my son at 6.30pm

The rain and the wind is clearing away here.

 

Some random foreign man from Russia called Mikhail Kalashnikov has died. I hope that doesn't interrupt our storm media coverage this time. Apparenlty he is a inventer of the soviet assualt rifle that was widely used by the Russians during the cold war.

You really have never heard of him? or the Rifle? The Kalashnikov has been used as a weapon of choice all over the World. Oh well, back to the Weather, there is a bit of it around.

BREAKING NEWS The body of a man has been found in the River Rothay at Ambleside in the Lake District after an extensive search by the RAF, emergency services, coastguard, mountain rescue and lake wardens from Windermere.

Here's your man for such questions. It sounds like it could, but don't bank on it.

Not much in it but UKMO is showing an even tighter pressure gradient than the GFS...

Just a slight swaying of branches here and some moderate rain earlier in the weather void known as Greater Manchester, cant believe a near record low is sitting up to our northwest, the Brussel sprouts generated more wind at Sunday lunch yesterday 

[Buriedundersnow]

yip its looking pretty close packed up here and stormy I still think highest gusts will be for northern Ireland and the northwest but the central belt wont be far behind

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Squall hitting here now. Fierce winds and very heavy rain with convective like drops!

[be cause]

I have been enjoying the calm before the storm .. a mild sunny afternoon after a little rain this morning . Tonight into tomorrow looks like a totally different story . Looks like our worst storm since Boxing day 1998! Locally it took 14 days to restore electricity . ... Have a safe storm .

[dave49]

Arsenal v Chelsea game set to beat the bad weather

 

Monday night's Barclays Premier League game between Arsenal and Chelsea is set to go ahead despite heavy rain and strong winds. Groundstaff have been working on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium throughout the day as a pre-Christmas storm sweeps across the country and no problems were reported at 4pm. However, officials are continuing to monitor the weather ahead of the big London derby which is scheduled to kick-off at 8pm.Conditions have deteriorated during the day and both clubs have advised fans to allow plenty of time to travel to the game as some transport services in the capital have been disrupted.
