I have never really been one for snow unfourtunately. Only as a kid did I really think it was anything special. Nowadays I just wan't constant strong winds and thunderstorms!!!!!!!

Still saw a load of wasps fying around one of our ash trees today were there was a massive nest in the Summer. Unbelieveable that they are still around at nearly the middle of November!

It shouldn't be a suprise really, I mean they did have a 190mph+ Storm. Just look at EF5 tornado damage and you will see what I mean.

Sounds like an F0 if it was a tornado!

If it was a tornado then judging by the damage described it would probably be an F0. In other words winds between 40-70mph.

Had a few distant rumbles here earlier and there have also been a load of showers come through during the evening.

Just heard a few rumbles out my window so checked to make shure and I saw a flash. It is very occassional though. It sounded like it came from my Northwest, there have already been a load of showers coming through here this evening so don't know if I will get a direct storm or not. Edit: Seems to have stopped now!

Just check out this video to get a small idea of what these people are actually getting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK-Kfr2G3a0 And to think that the Philippines are getting about an added 62mph on top of this!

I don't know where the 'Battered by winds' is coming from. The gales they are talking about will only affect high and exposed areas in the north!

Really, sustained 200mph! That means gusts would be well in excess of even that. Thats equivilent to an EF5 tornado, it might as well be a giant most powerful tornado let alone hurricane.

Didn't really get as much wind here as I was expecting on Saturday the 2nd to be honest although reading through the previous posts it does look like most places actually did get it pretty windy. I was personally expecting gusts to be in the low 40s effecting our house. It only managed a max of 33mph then, however I think tomorrow will be more noteable for here as it looks like gusts of up to 40mph will be more widespread and stretch right the way from the south coast to the far north of the region.

Its looking quite windy tomorrow for here to be honest! Looks like there will be gusts of 35-40mph in quite a large area inland. 50mph+ on coasts and high ground.

Personally I would have indeed thought that there would be a yellow 'be aware' warning out now by the met office as widespread inland gusts of 45-55mph could still cause some minor damage i.e to trees ect. Although a 50mph wind may not seem that much, (believe me it is) fireworks being able to be set high in the sky and not come dangerously crashing down in those types of winds would be quite a miricale!

I think that because of the recent storm just gone this coming depression for tomorrow night doesn't seem that much. But I destinctly remember a time last November when coastal 70mph gusts were forecast and 50mph inland, and there was a lot of talking about it then as we hadn't had a recent 70-80mph inland gusts producing storm. Don't forget that the storm on Monday was probably a once in 6 year event for us here down the south. So in all honesty, I think quite a few will be suprised at how strong the winds will be tomorrow evening.

Exactly! I got 58mph here. Which was enouph to break a branch off of a few trees but that was all we had. Us storm enthusiasts like severe weather, so when the worst ended up affecting southeast england we felt like we didn't get what was promised i.e the 70-80mph wind gusts.

I think he is refering to his location because he wasn't able to see the previous storm as he was somwhere else. Its not really selfish though, we can't change or make the weather do what we wan't it to, but the fact is that everyone has there own likes and I am afraid that life is just not fair sometimes. Lets face it, if everyone had their own way we would all just be doing the things that we like, it is only because of the consequences of certain actions that makes us feel for other people, otherwise we would be nonthewiser.

Its a shame really, doesn't look like this coming so called storm will produce much now but it will just be enouph to ruin any fireworks being let off.

I don't really think the models have made a firm conclusion on these coming depressions yet and I think it is highly unlikely that it will produce 60-70mph winds anywhere inland. The worst bit about it though is it means that probably most firework displays won't go ahead as it will just be raining and with moderate winds.

That would bring more then just gales if that came off. A lot of damage would be done, probably more then the storm just gone.

At the moment I would suggest anyone planning to have a bonfire and fireworks for Saturday should probably cancle and move it to another day.

I don't know where he is getting his 70-80mph winds from! To me it looks more like possible 60mph gusts along the south coast, and 40-45mph inland. Nothing unusual this time around, just more normal deep depressions.

For many areas inland there looks to be peak gusts around 40-45mph for southern areas Saturday into Sunday. There maybe some twigs snapped off and maybe some broken weak branches but thats about it. It looks at the moment that if you wan't to experience any damaging winds from this then you will have to travel to the coast.

Yeah it wasn't your usual storm for southeastern areas. To be honest it looks to me that the storm didn't deepen as quick as was forecast which is why us lot in the Southwest got off more lightly. Most areas around here had frequent 50-60mph wind gusts and then a few isolated 70mph+ with the shortlived squall. It could have been a lot worse, we could have woken up to nasty 70-80mph gusts in a much more larger spread and they would have lasted for a lot longer.

It looks like the storm on Monday deepend a bit later than the forecasts said which is why we didn't have it as bad as Southeastern England. I still managed a 58mph gust on the roof of the house however, which is still very unusual. I could probably easily have seen our house getting a 70mph gust had it deepend more early as was originally forecast. Looks like it will be quite windy later today. Will probably get the more typical 20-25mph wind gusts.

Here are some pictures of the storm damage from yesterday. One of the main branches of this ash tree were broken off and also slightly damaged the roof of our shed. https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/19118-damaged-ash-tree/ https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/19122-broken-branch-view-4/ https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/19119-broken-branch-view-1/ https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/19120-broken-branch-view-2/ https://forum.netweather.tv/gallery/image/19122-broken-branch-view-4/ I am not certain, but I think this must have happend when the squall line came through as it produced a 58mph gust on the roof of our house.
