Atlantic Storm 14th - 15th January

[Zenarcher]

Just like what I done with the storm last week I've made up a map showing the top wind speeds according to the Met Office on their Weather Map to give a quick and easy view on the wind speeds,

Thanks for this graph areas possible wind threat. Going to be hair raising here if we get 76 mph.

 

Mapantz hope she right with the 50 mph

Bleeding nora, don't be greedy now with the amount of storms you guys get!  Ireland looks to be worst hit with this storm

Who's Kirsty McCabe?

 

Thankyou for the graph, looks a little too 'in general' though as I don't know anywhere in the southwest, apart from possibly Cornwall who have been forecast gusts over 70mph?

Nothing indicative on the fax charts that suggests one. It's still possible of course!

She's a weather forecaster. Not sure who for at the moment, she does move around a bit. lol

Looks like we could take a hammering on the Isle of Man, especially with the southerlies driving up the Irish sea

Think we will see amber warnings issued very soon for some of these areas....

Usually they mention in the chief forecasters assessment if an upgrade to Amber is likely. Wouldn't rule it out though. The yellow warning mentions gusts possible to 80mph here.

[Jimmyh]

Does this mean the double line of fronts will pack to lots of winds?? Especially here in London sarf

[Mapantz]

Like Surrey posted yesterday, the 4KM NMM shows what looks to be a squall line and the back of the cold front. The 3KM one doesn't show, strangely.

If 80mph gusts dont warrant an amber , i dont know what does! 

Ever been hit by something at 80mph?

Got hit by Hail Stone at the top of Mam Tor a few weeks back in wind about a continuous 80mph +  - it hurt.

I've got a feeling this storm will be worst than what the met office think, just been on the website and I don't see anywhere in southern England gusting above 65mph overnight... In exeter the highest gust I saw was like 55mph lol  It's times like these when I wish I had a weather station or knew someone in Exeter who did.

 

Here's what I've found on the three weather websites I usally go on for Exeter and the highest expected gusts for Exeter

 

Weather Outlook.com - 65mph

Metcheck - 57mph

Met Office - 45mph

I am sure there will be a station nearby to you.
