South East England & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 13/02/14

[Barrow Meter]

On a par with 23rd Dec here right now. I'm guessing I'll be picking roof tiles up off the garden again tomorrow!

[knightrider]

Really getting loud out there now, definitely the biggest storm for a good few years here, my windows aren't liking it :-/

Planes are circling all over the place at the moment http://www.flightradar24.com/

Safest place for them at the moment. No doubt a few diversions to less windy spots in the UK or the EU.

[Marie]

Right guys and girls I'm off to bed ,it's really loud and constant out there,I hope you all stay safe and don't have much damage by the morning.I might pop back on here once in bed but if not stay safe x

[Storme]

Don't I cannot laugh that much without injury

 

You know I did wonder what all the funny things in the sky were!

[Jax]

Not just me creaking here tonight (makes a change)

Many are diverting which would be the most sensible option right now. A lot heading to more northern airports.

Just walked around Crystal Palace. Certainly sounds windy, but no real substantial gusts. I'd say around 20-30mph gusts. Maybe the odd 30-40. Nothing to write home about. Bit disappointed.

[Dipsy]

According to the Reigate Grammar School weather station we are 4mph off the strongest gusts of 24/12/13, at 47mph. This feels like more sustained wind though, house creaking much more. Girl cat and I are cuddled on sofa, she is blissed out with her catnip, I have gin. Boy cat is attempting to get out through the locked cat flap, I believe he is a cat with very little brain.

Ok scary my bedroom windows which are double glazed are rumbling and creaking now and thought I just heard a tree crashing over in the road behind us, the peak will be around midnight to 2am I reckon.

Cheers, I may stay up for a few hours more then....plenty of like minded peeps on here tonight! :-)

[abruzzi spur]

Crazy wind here. Hoolie plus some. Garden chairs blown over, fence at risk, sounds like the winds from my nights in mountain refuges in the Alps long ago when I pretended to be intrepid. Tenzing Norgay described the wind on Everest as the 1952 team headed towards the summit as the 'roar of a thousand tigers'. Despite being 28550 feet below the summit of Everest I can understand his point....

Hope all are ok out there

I think it's peaking here around about now, another Top gust has just come in at 68.5 Knots = 78.8 MPH !!

 

I can't see it getting above that !

Much higher than I expected it to be tbh

[knightrider]

It's getting worse out there folks another huge gust just blasted through our 50'ft tall conifers, it's expected to start peaking within the next hour or so.

Yep, a few are diverting to STN and MAN at the moment from LGW and LHR.www.flightradar24.com

you fox! bet you feel like Dorothy

I was going off of the "gallery" images. It's too dark to see whether it's sand or pebble but I assume this is the same camera we're watching live

It's all mostly shingle. That's the hissing noise are the waves recede down the beach. I know because I used to wind surf there and at Selsey. The only place which is sandy is West Wittering at low tide.

Hope my new fence repair doesn't break

Jp what's the bang?

[fluid dynamic]

This must be the strongest wind of this winter here. Cannot see any damage yet but am expecting some.

[icyskidski]

this is really scary right on the coast...just lost the double glazing on my balcony windows...the noise damn near gave me a heart attack. now just have one sheet of plate glass for a wall...on a south facing clifftop...lol...the joys of living by the sea!

[Jax]

I can hear the wind indoors and not often I can do that (unless it is me), quite amazing wind being felt here.
