Thank you Nick, certainly pretty wild out there, got football at 10:45 and I’m a goalkeeper, so that’ll be interesting to say the least.

 

Will be like playing with one of those plastic footballs you used to use as a kid...

Has the storm moved north nick or is it on the same track as predicted yesterday please?

I was thinking the same here in East Northants. Hardly any rain so far yet forecast is for moderate to heavy rain?

Unremarkable here in Surrey so far. Wind still has a large southerly component. I’ll be watching as the day develops though.

There isn't much rain at the moment but it's starting to get windier.

Currently in Kingston Upon Thames babysitting son’s kittens. Have only heard two planes at around 7am and nothing since. Normally there’s a regular stream as they come in to land.  Wind gusts in this built up area are getting very unsettling. In the meantime am getting reports from Beds/Cambs border of trees down and wishing I was there at home, in case the big trees close to my house land on the conservatory.

They are still coming over my house to Manchester although one I just saw on the webcam that one did a go around a few minutes ago.

Good job they cancelled a lot of flights from the London airports. I think the nearest suitable alternate airport from the London airports given the weather conditions would have been Manchester which has runways more aligned NE/SW but obviously the conditions here are still borderline. No way Manchester could have dealt with hundreds of diversions.

Just watched that, a TUI 787 aborted very early, it's a challenge to land in these sort of conditions. As you say Manchester's runway's are almost perfectly aligned for the storm so they're coming into a strong headwind. Obviously that doesn't offset the not inconsiderable gusts of wind that can catch them out.

Squall line developing over the Irish Sea heading for NW Wales.

Getting nervous. It’s howling here and the valley is flooding.

Not a day to be a pilot or passenger! Hopefully everyone arrives safe and sound. Nothing is landing at Manchester now. The runway is still open but they're stacking them temporarily. That TUI 787 aborted. Heathrow, Gatwick and surrounding airports will be very difficult this afternoon.

Blowing a serious gale here just north of Bristol. Winds howling round the house. I have serious doubts my garden fence is going to make it through the day!
