My new weather station is going to get a workout.

I hope the spinny thing is up to it.

They keep increasing the wind gust speed on the forecast here for tomorrow

Same here, up to 58mph and lasting into Monday and then again Tuesday and Wednesday. Going to be a stormy few days, could make Mondays commute tricky.

It's blowing a gale and pouring down here in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. Although I am glad the ice and snow has gone. I really feel the cold.

Me too. I’d rather have mild but wet and windy instead of cold

Up to 65 on the BBC here - none of the recent storms were above 50s on the forecast here.

Hopefully Big Jet TV will be out tommorow

Been slightly downgraded from 62 to 61-60 here still that for quite a few hours though

Strap down your spinny things . Batten down the pensioners. And as for your trampolines leave them in your local supermarket carparks.

Trampoline coming to a train line near you.

All this seems rather exaggerated to me. 55-60mph gusts really aren’t that bad at all. Few chairs and bins knocked over and maybe a few loose tiles and rickety fences. Media go on like we should be preparing for the four horsemen

Not sure about my rickety fence surviving.

I'm commenting on the BBC forecast which has relatively low wind gust speeds for these storms for some reason, assuming that is what they are as I can't quickly see a legend. They were showing 40s to 50s in the previous storms when we had gust speeds up to 80MPH so if the same applies with it showing 65 on the BBC that could be quite bad :s

It is overexaggerated. They knock out warnings for too little and nobody takes nobody takes notice.

I assume you won't be driving around in it though. Quite likely there'll be a few deaths unfortunately.

45mph gusting to 70mph forecast for here this evening, that's from a postcode check on XCweather :/

That's pretty scary stuff. 36 gusting to 68 here in the Midlands on XC. Met saying 35 to 55.

According to that site its going to be gustier here than at Ben Nevis.

 

[bjorkiii]

Snowdon beats us at 76 mph gusts to my 70mph gusts.

We seem to be one of the few places not under an amber warning later. Getting my workout in now then abandoning my gazebo gym.
