One max gust of 37mph here at some point in the afternoon with mostly 30mph gusts throughout.

It was a nice windy day with some sunshine at times and with your typical windy day level winds we get throughout autumn.

I was expecting it to be stronger to be honest with a named storm coming in with max gusts of Force 8 to 9 rather then the Force 6 to 7 we got.

It was named by the irish met, was never going to be more than normal here. Places that got hit hard by ophilia also got the brunt of this one. More trees down that were weakened by the first storm, and tbh the flooding up north was bad enough to warrent an amber rain warning. It qualified for naming.

Britain go it pretty bad too, I was surprised how much you people across the pond got hit.
