Is there an explanation why Ophelia was so lacking in rain? When you think of hurricanes you think of inches and inches of rain.

Fridays low looks intense too, winding up pretty fericiously on the GFS. Interesting times at the moment from meteorological perspective.

It was riding the periphery of a ridge which meant that although England saw a frontal boundary pass (hence why it has cooled off), there was barely any precipitation on it.

Yes, just posted in the un named Atlantic storms thread if anyone wants to view, it's now a named disturbance as Invest 92L currently right over the other side of the Atlantic

Ahhh, right you are. Well certainly more in the way of exciting weather than was expected for west Wales, fun day out I'm sure, I would have asked him if I could have gone along for the ride if I hadn't been busy earlier on today.:)

I would have liked to have tagged along too!

I was itching to say yes when he was asking for companions, but 3 kids put pay to any weather chasing for me. 

Hoping we get our own storm come to my locality later this week, so not all is lost just yet hopefully.

I would imagine again today we have a long draw Southerly flow over our parts associated with the warm front moving toward us,this picking up Saharan dust and wildfire particles stired up by Hurricane Ophelia.

The sky completely cleared of this kind of look after 6pm last night as the cold front passed through,a resonaly normal sunset given what we had seen in the hours before.

It was no more than a bog-standard windy and blustery night here, peaking before midnight. Nearby Linton-on-Ouse weather station recorded maximum sustained winds of ~37mph with gusts reaching ~53mph

Not been out yet but only expecting to see piles of blown leaves, small branches and litter lying around

I'll be going to Stratford-upon-Avon by train on Friday and Saturday so it's now over to the thread dealing with the possible storm due then

Some tree damage around Gower and outskirts of Swansea area but nothing too severe. A pretty standard gale in this area with a top peak gust of 79mph at Mumbles Head.

Uncle Piers (not OON) was wittering on about Hurricane Ophelia, on LBC (yesterday I think it was?) and was blustering about how she was caused by something 'Solar'...methinks another solar sausage might have slipped through the net!:wallbash:

The guy's not even a bona fide meteorologist!

By the sounds of it Pembroke was hit with the worst a little after I left. 

Driving through there were branches on the road, in some places you couldn’t see the road underneath all the leaves. 

I’d estimate 60mph gusts at a complete and utter guess whilst I was there. 

650 miles driven in total. Not entirely convinced what I saw was worth it, but still, good fun!

Looks as if theres another storm coming after Ophelia. >_> This time exclusively for Southern Ireland (No time to recover), Wales and England it looks like.

I am quite suprised how awful the BBC is becoming in terms of reporting and what it focuses on. Until mid Monday, the OPHELIA article kept referring to some areas on Saturday getting up to 23 deg C and how Nottingham was expected to reach 21 deg C on Monday.  ....

So what!!

Today continues the awful editorial mistakes......

Central London was among the places where a reddish could be spotted on Monday

Fascinating sequence from NASA showing how Ophelia picked up the dust (brown) from the Sahara and then the smoke (white) from the fires in Spain and Portugal and wafted it over the UK to give us those spectacular red skies and sunsets.
