Jersey Met recently tweeted the highest gusts recorded so far:

 

Jersey Airport: 64mph

Jersey Harbour: 73mph

 

Winds expected to peak during the next 2 hours.

 

Our high tide passed at 18:30. The predicted forecast height was 10.1m. The recorded height was 11.1m! Roads along our south coast were closed for a time due to "huge" waves breaking over our sea defences. People have been advised to stay indoors ...

My lights have stopped flickering, and the wind has died a lot. This is a little worrying

My word - looks like that's mostly seawater given the location of the line (ie VERY near the coast).

I have to say, I'd feel safer out in an open field right now! I'm don't think my wx station will last on the pole.

What's everyone pressure reading at the moment? We're at 981mb according to my Wx station, don't have a wind gauge, but my nearest just recorded a 51gust, although by the sounds of it, it's gone a bit higher.

My anemometer is reading a rather calm 12mph, and has been for about an hour. Might be something to do with all the trees behind it

 

Meanwhile the other weather station in Swindon has recorded a gust of 53mph, the highest it's read since it went up about 4 years ago. Very wild outside.

 

Stay safe everyone!

Mental here on Portland !Scary winds , severe flood warning for us tonight

Wow i'd love to be on Portland this evening! I went to the coast at Southsea on Wednesday, probably the strongest winds I've ever experienced. It's very windy where i am now near Southampton.

Radar still showing showers heading on to the South Coast, could be some very squally gusts around these showers..

Wonderground says 969
