Southeast England and East Anglia - Weather Chat

Just started to get a little gusty here but nothing exceptional, it hasn't even set my door knocker off yet, so gusts must be under 30mph. It has been raining for a while though.

you know its windy when your knockers start flapping!

[snowfish1]

I think looking at the radar the worst gusts are yet to. Arrive in our quarter. More intense rain on its way. Estimating between 1am_3am .....

[JodyPla]

Gusty here in Hoo St Werburg!

[alexisj9]

Highest gust so far here 64mph, according to a local station, I think the met one for here is down or something, haven't got a wind reading from it all night.

[Kent Blizzard]

Amazing what gusts that squall line will bring

I've seen those almost die before they get here, hope this one does, as there's enough wind roaring around already. I've heard though I don't know if it's true, that it will intensify over here.

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

96mph north west wales now

Things crashing around outside here now

[Kent Blizzard]

I hope so.. I'm up linces dover..blowing a right good one..

[alexisj9]

Now a high of 66mph.

[Kent Blizzard]

The outputs are almost too good to be true   

Some of the best charts I have seen for a good few years to say the least, could they get even better? I'm not so sure, I think they can only downgrade but let's not worry about that for a couple of days yet 

 

Key Points to watch over the next couple days:-

 

1. Steve M gets excited

2. Ian F gives the green light

3. The outputs keep it steady till we get to the reliable

4. Bargain stores and Petrol Garages start to take the snow shovels off Sale and put back to full price with an increase of 25% along with sledges

5. Snow Grips and Snow Chains are seen on deal of the day on a well know auction site

6. The Supermarkets start to run out of bread after everyone watches Countryfile

Reminds me of the 'Beast from the East' in 2013, everyone was super hyped and I even travelled to my families home here in Watford from Southampton just too see it but nothing came of it.

[alexisj9]

Thought it was bad before, but the wind is really going even more now, and the squalls are not even here yet, looks to be 2 squalls on radar now

[smethwickgg102]

Really blowing now in Chafford Hundred, is this the squall line or are we just warming up?

Edited January 15, 2015 by smethwickgg102

[alexisj9]

Just warming up, the one further east is just reaching brighton, the other one is around south hampton. 

 

lol a gust of wind just set off a car alarm here.

Getting very fierce outside now.

Amazing how these things always seem to happen during the night.

I think this one will certainly make the news !!

[chillyblast]

Same here, if its this strong inland I shudder to think how it was to the west / coast / exposed areas, I would imagine there would be some damage.

 

Its roaring outside, you wouldn't want to be out in it - spare a thought for the lorry drivers, that must be an experience.

[Kent Blizzard]

wow jeez just a real intense gust then that lasted ages.

praying my roof tiles hold on tight !!

[VillagePlank]

Yep, starting to pick up here, too.

[VillagePlank]

Looks like the worst is now passed, here. Maybe the odd gust or two, but mean wind really died down, now.

[AdamStorm7891]

Well if there was a so called intense squall I slept through most of it so it can't have been as bad as was being hyped up. 23/12/13 was alot worse here!

[Marie]

From the lack of posts in here I gather either everyone including myself slept through any wind and is slightly disappointed this morning or you have all been blown away ? Miserable morning here wet and breezy .Off to work now

[ITSY]

Was windy up in cambs last night. Concerned re snow potential for next week as warm sectors slide through with the fronts but plenty of time for changes yet, either way.

[EWS]

Very windy from abut 8pm last night but, as someone else noted, it wasn't as bad for us as the December 23rd 2013 storm. Hope everyone's roofs / trampolines / bins etc survived!

[alexisj9]

Went to bed along time before the squall went though, it didn't wake me up, so I don't know how it was here. Was defo really blowing even before that, a real shame the met office station was down, would have been nice to know the winds from them as I'm not sure how accurate non met stations are. Max gust at the one I was using 68MPH at 2:55.
