Storms thread descended into farce, Scottish and welsh posters bashing the southerners for crying about a storm because nobody cares when they get one....(sigh) :-(Childish nonsense....moderators please tidy the site up!Sadly people are loosing their life this evening and property is being damaged, I thought NW forums were better that that?Stay safe all x

On the funny side of things, it was good to see the swear filter getting an extreme workout....never seen so much veg in one post....:D

Hi 80s weatherThink it's the windiest we have had this winter. I noticed last week the river was flooded there

Hi SD, too noisy to sleep lol. River was highest for years, but gone down pretty quick now though.

Things are nice and happy in the severe atlantic storms thread. NOT.After a brief period of lighter winds the roar outside has now returned. On the way to college this morning the small river/large stream near here was back down to its normal levels, 6 hours later and it had burst its banks after just 12mm of rain had fallen, which I've never seen happen in 8 years.  It shows that even a relatively small amount of rain is seriously bad right now..

The Met Office site at Heathrow is back up and working and the latest report from there ( midnight ) recording that mean wind speeds and gusts are still increasing. Mean wind speed is now 41mph, and the latest gust 63mph.

Definitely stronger here sounds like a jet engine roaring around the house. Heard a weird siren noise outside too lasted a few mins then stopped, never heard anything like it thought it was a flood alert or something, weird.

Well Surbiton is not doing well, get the feeling the whole south east is in the firing line more than expected.

Not as bad here as it was. Still gusty but not as frequent nor as strong. Unless the direction has slightly changed which means it's not slamming straight into my home as it was. Might turn in as expected it was going to be worse around now.

if you look closely, you can make out a low pressure system covering the whole country.

From my perspective..this storm has similar behaviour to the St Judes storm. I remember that night in the early hours, stretches of high velocity winds that would then drop out completely for 15 - 30 mins into very calm periods before the next swathe would whip through. Warm almost muggy temperatures also similar. I guess this is a characteristic pattern for Cyclogenesis ?

 

Temperature 7.1°C
Humidity 85%
Dewpoint 4.8°C
Wind SSW
Barometer 975.2 hPa & Rising Rapidly

 

Interesting to see that pressure has begun to rise again, I didn't expect to see that for a few more hours yet.

 

All appears calm again here for the moment. No rain & just a steady 30 - 40 mph breeze Posted Image

Still some really big noisy gusts here but longer between them. Lights have started to flicker so I'm off to bed. Stay safe
