Yes, P.M I await this evening with anticipation.

Must admit I hadn't checked the forecast rainfall totals, that was a bit of a surprise.

The highest gust I've recorded in June ( at 350m ) is 59 mph on the 26th in 1997 and the 25th in 2007, we'll see if it can beat that.

Yes TM, Im looking forward to this with the trees in full leave to.. Should be quite an event. The GFS has done a great job of tracking this Low for the past week i must say.

[Bishop Brennan]

Some pretty brutal wind and rain right now - and there could well be many hours of it as well, judging by the radar.

Hilarious how the charts are once again moving towards another blustery below average weekend only to turn sunny on the working week, beyond sick of it, thankgod i'm off to Turkey in 4 weeks time.

[Dancerwithwings]

80-90 KMH gusts = 55MPH come late evening!!! this time of the year with trees in full leaf....

The wind has really started picking up in the last half hour.

 

A couple of garden chairs out back, for example......

I have given in and put the heating on. 

 

Cold wet and windy here. 

[ditch]

8 degrees lashing down outside, I've had the heating all evening😟 I guess this what happens when you have a very cold pool of water in the North Atlantic just off our shores........it's got to get better soon 😳

[Summer of 95]

Howling wind, horizontal rain, temps of 8C and- still light at 9pm? What's going on?

eh? how can anyone like this? having a laugh? most of us on here want warm sunny weather

[Snowshine]

It sure is windy, but not damagingly windy. The worst of the storm has already gone, but tomorrow afternoon may be similar.

[Summer of 95]

Although it was.howling for a time in the evening it never got as windy as I expected, especially as I was expecting the worst when it backed N 'ly, which it never did. The rain and cold temperatures ended up as the main thing.

Still completely cloudy, cold with bits of rain, but not windy at all- was expecting something really blowy this morning.

[Terminal Moraine]

Very heavy rain here with a howling wind, Music to my ears   

Yes indeed, P.M,  although here it didn't get as windy as I expected with a maximum gust of 50 mph at 2026 g.m.t.

Yesterday's maximum of 10.9c was quite low but nothing exceptional although it did feel decidedly cold during the afternoon when the rain set in and the temp' fell to around 7.4c.( the same temperature as the lowest June max' on record here on the 6th in 1985)

A moderate breeze and drizzle this morning but I expect the wind to increase again by early afternoon, perhaps a few gusts around 40 mph?

[Polar Maritime]

Gusts never got above 53mph here also TM, Yes as you point out winds will increase over the Midlands this afternoon. Temp Currently 12.7c West Gusting 28mph with heavy drizzle.
