  1. Maybe they know something we dont or Sky are over egg-ing it? But they did say the MET Office have update the airports on this and quoted those speeds.
  2. Breaking News on Sky News.....London Airports, AIrlines told by MET office windspeeds of 30 knots at 6am increasing to 80 knots continuing until midday.
  3. I am sure this is all going to kick off overnight, just trying to stave off the boredom waiting! Sounds like its allready getting going at yours
  4. On the flipside to a lot of negative posts earlier in the day (of which I may have been one of them) re downgrades....if this does come off tonight, it will put a big feather in the cap of many forecast agencies......time will tell? Its riveting!! Sky news really going for it...best one yet though....5 minute spiel by the presenter about the winds 'smashing' into the south etc etc...then crosses to live reporter on the coast, not enough wind to ripple his paper thin jacket!! ....awkward!!
  5. Hi Nick, is it now time for Part 4 of this and for it now to be renamed "Possible storm, not as bad as it could have been" Monday 28th October 2013 Part 4! Thanks for your interpretations/explanations (and all the other posters with much more expereince than me in whats happening out there), I am glued to this site when anything like this, storms or snow events are on the go....what did we do before NWTV eh!
  6. Well, lets see what happens this evening......do we think we will see a red warning on the MET Office site tonight? Or will it be a case of OTT media hype, leading to trains and planes cancelled due to H&S executives kacking themselves at the prospect of getting sued left right and centre if theres a branch on the line etc...... Personally I think its probably going to be somewhere between the two (or just hoping this is the case). Stay safe all :-)
  7. Jay on BBC News 24 still showing the 80mph 'red zone' across a large part of the uk and also urging people to delay their journeys to work in the morning, I have been away from the site from early this morning when things were looking like a downgrade? I take it the storm is now fully back on (if indeed if was ever 'off'?) Thinking of nipping out to buy some more torch batteries...over-reaction or prudent? Stay safe all if this comes off
  8. This far out we were never going to see a Red warning, even amber warnings will be scrutinised by all and sundry if this is a damp squib. If this dosent come off I will be gutted, but let's be honest, forcasting on this little rock of ours must be an absolute nightmare due to so many variables and although we think we could do a better job than senior forecasters and supercomputers......I beg to differ, even though I do like a good moan sometimes....(hypocritical or what!)
  9. Embarassing would be an understatement after the amount of forwarnings thus far if this turns out to be a bust. As others have hinted....this must be Pub run up to its tricks again!
  10. Thats the way...nice and calming headline as usual from the Sunday "Panic Attack" Express.....sadly not a surprise
  11. Good idea that....hopefully you will get the best of both worlds, some nice gusts, some heavy rain but no structual or flooding to go with it....maybe that would help your daugher get the weather 'bug' that you/your son and 99.9% of us on here have!!
  12. Cheers all, that does make sense I must admit I am torn at the moment, the grown up in me is worried about posiible damage to my house and sheds, possible power outages (which hopefully dont happen)....but the kid in me would love to see a really good storm with sustained high winds and strong gusts!!
  13. Both warnings are also still up on the Met Office Site? If within 12 minutes the warning has been downgraded to a yellow alert for our region, why is the amber still on there...is this a mix up or a case of the MET waiting and seeing as it evolves (which would make sense given the fact we are still a way away from the event)?

  15. I dont suppose the weather forecasters worry about our reps homie....they didn't big themselves up yesterday either with that performance....you get me?
  16. Believe it when I see it, better call the French and let them know they have some great storms on the way!
