Well with talk of it deepening more rapidly than the forecasts and potential for it to be further north ( some say it is while others say its not?) It could get even worse for us on the South Coast than some of the predictions. If it continues as is with a drop of 23mb in 8hrs already, wouldn't surprise me to get a wider area of us seeing 85+mph gusts. Could be completely wrong though.

It will be interesting to see how bad this actually goes, or if it ends up less severe, with the models swaying with its exact path still and wind speeds going up, then down, then up again etc. A selfish part of me would like to see an 80+mph gust as in my nearly 28 years on earth I can't recall really seeing any past 60-70mph.

So just done a but if shopping to get stuff to make a bolognese and treated myself to a nice bottle of red, which was £15 that I'd seen a few times and wanted to try. As I'm going through the door home, the bottle falls out its nice case and smashes over the steps by the door. This Storm currently can not cause anymore damage than the emotional damage I feel right now

Storm Eunice - 18th February
DeepSnow replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Yes sorry its Ceredigion, Bridgend and RCT and the Vale have started stating they will be closed at the moment, as you say I expect more to announce closures soon, primarily in the red warning zone. -
BBC News - Storm Eunice: Schools shut, all trains cancelled in Wales Storm Eunice: Schools shut, all trains cancelled in Wales WWW.BBC.CO.UK Schools will close and trains cancelled on Friday after the red wind warning for Storm Eunice. Hopefully if more places can do the same then the risk coould be significantly reduced during rush hour!

Just seen on BBC news that all schools will be closed in Wales tomorrow and all trains cancelled. Hopefully other businesses will do the same so there are less people travelling during rush hour when it's due to hit. -
Storm Eunice - 18th February

Just looked at these from the UKV and some areas look like the gusts have weakened a bit, albeit still very strong. However looks to have strengthened for some of us in the SW and South Wales. -
Storm Eunice - 18th February
DeepSnow replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Well living in Barry, directly on the South Wales coast, a town of 58,000 and with a small city of Cardiff with almost 500k and many large towns with 10-40,000 along the coast, I think its right that South Wales and parts of SW England have the red warning first as we will get hit first. As others have said, once Meto are more confident later, I'm sure the red will extend to other areas. As much as I like a good storm, I'm not overly sure I'm looking forward to tomorrow and the potential damage etc. Thankfully I'm off until Mondayso can stay in tomorrow. -
Not looking good for us, thankfully im slightly sheltered by the houses to my south and west being slightly higher than be, exposed to a northerly wind though. Just cleared the rubbish in my garden ready and fixed the gate, no doubt ill have to fix it again over the weekend lol. Just hope everyone stays safe. Rather be over cautious than unprepared.

I will have to have a clean up in the garden and make sure the recycling goes in the shed for the night, otherwise the neighbours will have some free rubbish . It seems like there may have been a slight reduction in winds for us but it may change back by tonight, hopefully not though as still looking at possible 80mph.

Storm Eunice - 18th February
DeepSnow replied to Thunder and Lightning's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
That's not good for us here in South Wales, bringing even more widely potential 80-90mph gusts for us, I hope it modifies a bit come tomorrow. -
Well Met forecast currently says 72mph gusts in Barry, XC Weather 77mph and Net Weather 82mph so I'd say with an increasing amount of confidence the area will get between 70-80mph for a few hours Friday morning. Hopefully there won't be any 'upgrades' so to speak tomorrow as I'd like to keep the roof on the house and my newly planted trees from last summer in the ground. I do love a good wind storm but when you to the 70-80+mph range, it does get a little unnerving.

Storm Dudley - Weds 16th and Thurs 17th
DeepSnow replied to Summer Sun's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Yes very gusty here in Barry, a lot of small branches about already and bits blowing around. Wasn't expecting this for today from Dudley. -
Well it was pretty windy in the early hours this morning with 30-40mph gusts and to think Friday could be 70-80+ here in Barry like most Southern counties is a bit worrying. Despite being a costal town we don't often see more than 60mph gusts here away from the immediate coast. It is nice to have some exciting weather just hope it doesn't prove to be too destructive. Interesting to see the BBC weather just said at the moment the snow will be over north England, north Wales and southern Scotland but wind gusts of 60-70mph, which is less than any of the models are prediction. They airing on the side of caution till tomorrow when they have a better idea of things?
-
I may have to take a drive somewhere to get my winter snow fix Saturday lol can't see costal areas getting any in the near future. Edit - as I just looked in the model threads it seems the low could go further south (could all change by tomorrow) but does bring the increasing risk for snow even on South costal areas, could be a surprise or two if the south corrections continue?

After a few very foggy mornings and misty days in Barry it's finally a clearer morning. Was chilly yesterday under the fog, only got to 5C and had our lowest minimum last night at -0.4C. Sad to say that our lowest temp as it use to get below that on a fairly regular occasion in winters past. Nice to have a proper frosty, seasonal morning though!
