Everything seems a little further north to me.Just waiting for the lull/eye to pass and turn very windy and colder

[robbo88]

Wow. Just had a big gust, was quite noisy

[itsnowjoke]

Winds picking up now 

[Weather-history]

Will they have to close Runcorn-Widnes bridge, Thelwall Viaduct and Barton high level bridges?

If they do, it will be travel chaos.

Heavy rain here and there is sleet mixed in with it. very windy here.

[Miamay]

Wind is really starting to get going. 

[WillinGlossop]

3c wind picking up a few gusts rattling windows.... maybe 50-60mph gust at worst.... rain turning sleety....

[benricky]

Bucketing it down in Ellesmere Port and wind has picked up 

[SP1986]

Oh wow  extreme gusts here... looks like a tropical storm with the rain blowing horizontally

[Chris.R]

 Not far-off February 2014 already here. 

[chicken soup]

Not much here..apart from rain and a bit windy....expect we shall miss the worst as usual despite the forecasts.

[ManiaMuse]

Not much in central Manchester, just a bit damp but not even that breezy yet. When is the worst due to hit?

BBC forecast says we should be having 45mph gusts at the moment but there is nothing anywhere near that at the moment.

Yeah not overly wild here either, wonder it the worst is going to be south of the region and the midlands?

[SP1986]

Oh this is insane and it's not peaked yet!

[pip22]

It is actually quite calm here. At the moment.

[SparkleS]

More rain than anything then a really strong gust every now and then 

[Miamay]

Ive picked the wrong day to go to the hairdressers lol

[Kevin Thomas Miller]

Doesn't seem to be too bad here in Altrincham.  Wet and windy but nothing I'd classify as overly unusual.

Port of Liverpool closed

Exceedingly windy with heavy rain sheeting horizontally.  Wind howling through nearby high-voltage lines loud to be heard through double glazing.  Tree trunks in motion.
