I imagine that wind speed could cause higher gusts up to 140mph winds with a sea level pressure of 942mb, as a Cat 4 hurricane that will make landfall in Ireland, South West of England and the Southern England.

Do you work for the Daily fail???

 

Interestingly getting fairly breezy here wind more to the SW than predicted hence more wind. Maybe a unexpected stormy day

The Beaufort Scale indicates hurricane force 12 winds as 74mph and higher, there is not going to be 140mph winds so please don't make scaremongering posts like that please! 

 

00z ECM keeps the storms coming all next week, relentless!  http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/ecmwf.php

Well going by Exeter airport the highest gust Exeter had last night was not even up to 50mph (44mph) we must be well sheltered here, more so from the south west winds....the strongest winds seem to occur usually when there's a southerly wind...Where as Plymouth had a gust of 74mph....strange.....

941mb? I assume that means winds of 941mph are heading towards the UK. That's probably hurricane force or something isn't it?

Yes, I was. As I mentioned somewhere yesterday, I'm using "Rao's theory of quantum acceleration".

Can we get back on topic guys and theres no need to get personal but I do agree 'Storm Track' is making no sense & going way OTT with this hurricane business! Please think what you are typing before hitting that button.

 

Pretty gusty here with some beefy showers blowing through.

 

Pressure 960mb with SE'ly winds gusting 40-50mph.

It is pretty rough here but sunny with it, so not so bad. I'm off to Durdle Door after lunch, to see if it becomes just "Durdle"

It looks like the peak danger to the coast near where I live is at around 0600 tomorrow, for instance my local high tide at Freshwater Bay is at 06:32, it will be the worst sea ever experienced on home shores for most people under fifty.....It easily surpasses all previous this year, for swell height forecast. The last storm beat 1969, 1987 and 1990 around here for sea state. According to older locals.

Although the onslaught will be all day, the winds peak on the south coast this afternoon before dropping slightly, then they return again tonight.

Thankfully the coastlines are seeing the lowest tides this weekend. So a lot of people will be saved from coastal flooding due to us seeing neap tides. Also looking like we aren't seeing prolonged rainfall over the south thankfully. Looks like after Tuesday next week things look like slowly becoming dryer and less stormy. So people can start to dry out and hopefully the water will start to resead.

Still a lot disagreements though for example the UKMO model doesn't show a storm like this at all.
