Only spray? Well I wouldn't expect the heavy rain and wind she was wittering on about. Maybe a mess up? Winds have calmed and radar is almost clear.spray off the east coast...
-
Just seen weather on ITV I think it was.
Talked of winds and heavy rain this evening for this region.
Not much of rain today so where's it coming from?

Didn't realise but I see there's rain due tonight. Could triton wintery according to BBC under London text forecast.
Heathrow currently reporting temp of 4c and dew of 3c. Perhaps sleet for some on higher ground?
Some Norwegians I know posted last night some snow pictures back there. Ahh so nice lol, they were playing out in it and that's people who grew up with plenty of it.
Makes me want to go back now.

Exacta weather - says it all.
I was reading an article the other day then saw Johnathan Powell, at which point I stopped reading.
Papers are going crazy with this nonsense, what started it all?
-
Calmed down from earlier. On it's way out it would seem, Heathrow reporting just 45mph gusts on it's 7.20am weather ATIS
-
Heathrow NOAA had gusts of 45mph (7.20am) and they've cancelled flights.
Easy to overreact but there you go. Seems to be calming down now too. As forecast it wasn't supposed to last long. Apart from sky of course
-
Fun while it lasted I guess.
-
Wind and gusts dropped at Heathrow now.
-
Not quite so bad, gusts of about 60 here (Heathrow) quite a way of the 90 sky came up with last night for Heathrow.
-
Sounds lively for most. Gusting at about only about 41mph per at Heathrow which is just up the road.

Bold but I would disregard what sky news are saying. Seems clear this is not something that'll affect ground level (hence why airports informed).
Wind of 90mph is worthy of a red alert and wider attention from the MetO itself.
-
90mph, mmm sky, I think are probably reporting a wind sped which wouldn't be experienced at our lower (grounded) levels I suspect.Knots is what was said. I'm the same as everyone else, I can't see it on the charts but this is now a nowcasting situation and this is apparently what the MetOffice has told the airports in the last few moments. May be that Sky are falsely reporting this but this is what was said in no uncertain terms.
-
I would say that either they have got their wires crossed with what they mean or you simply mis-heard. They've tweeted no such thing and they've tweeted most bits too.According to latest Sky news...if it is then we are in for a torrid time.
-
Johnathan Powell perhaps!? Actually, naa can't be, too underplayed for him.And you have a good point about higher level winds affecting planes on their ILS etc. That would make more sense.I think Sky must be quoting from a dubious source regarding the wind at Heathrow. Information provide to me as of 2300 is for the strength to be no greater than 55KTS. Luton and Stansted may reach 60 however. The upper winds at 1000ft and 3000ft are likely to be 80kts, it may be these that they've mistakenly quoted.

You mean 80knts or mph? 80Knts would mean over 90mph which I can not see.Just showing breaking news on sky news that Heathrow airport has been told by the MetOffice that from 6am until 12am winds have the possibility of gusting to 80knts and they are now expecting greater delays than previously thought.Edit: Scotteboi beat me to it!

Heathrow latest - 210 @ 10mph, varying direction. Rain, 13c 992mb.
Guernsey latest - 180 @ 25mph, gusting 37mph. Rain, 14c 996mb.

Sounding as calm out, as a summer's evening here.Sounding very bad outside here too Kate. It seems there are a lot of NIMBY's on here tonight that can't believe in something if it isn't in their back yard. or to be charitable, i guess it is just severe disappointment this isn't going further north?
-
Really it's the models overhype it rather than the MetO. I didn't expect anything more than we normally would get anyway.The system doesn't look much at all on the latest NAE run, as outlined by Nick appears it won't under go rapid Intensification until it exits the east coast.Perhaps gusts to 70mph on some exposed coasts.And some strong gusts just as it departs East Anglia.Gusts inland 40-50MPH at most, perhaps a little more in East Anglia/Southeast as system centre clears and winds back northwesterly.
-
It does seen extreme to have mass cancellations. People need to get to work etc. The country can't just stop due to some wind.

Guernsey - 22mph, gusting 37mph in light rain.
-
Brest currently report winds of 30mph, no gust reports though. That's from the airport station on NOAA website. Brest is NW tip practically.Twitter latestTomasz Schafernakerâ€@Schafernaker6mWestern coast of Brittany NW France now being pounded by gusts over 60-70mph.
-
So further downgrades? Just as train companies revise their timetables. Oh dear.
-
Although there have been various warnings people have commented 'you oboe what they're like, it won't be that bad' so I don't think it'll do anything for reputation.
Similarily people have also comented on the media hype being just that. So again no problem.
Basically nothing unusual from MetO or media in that sense and people already consider it to be OTT from what I hear.
It might get a bit windy but no more than the usual storm. I don't see much more than what we have had in recent years based on what is being said. Wind gusts of 60/70 along coasts, less in land. Haven't we seen this before?

I have seen some mentions about the haze etc.
BBC tweeted Saharan sand and dust will continue to be transported this way.
I guessed this is why the sky is how it is right now, sand/dust mixed with the high hazey cloud?
