Wind is really whipping up now. The storm looks a little further North so doesn't look like I'm getting much above 60-70mph.

[Zenarcher]

Still places in Ireland and Northern England reporting 40 to 55mph gusts. Most of Scotland is seeing gusts of 60 to 70mph and the Western Isles still reporting gusts between 70 to 90mph. Over the next 3 hours the very worst of the winds will take place there so we might see higher.
