I personally would allready say that in terms of the winds the storms are finished now as tomorrow and Monday show mean winds inland of moderate to strong. I would imagine the next load of wind will be more noticeable on coastal areas then recently where gales are likely.

Are you basing the gales and severe gales on the gusts? Looking inland from what I can see there looks to be only mean winds from moderate to strong inland and gales on coastal areas for tomorrow and Monday.

Just checked the rain gauge and it shows that 39mm (one and a half inches) of rain has fallen since yesterday evening. Apart from that one period of very heavy rain we had last year that is the highest I have seen over a 24hr period.

We have just had some very small hail fall here and there is a dark cloud moving away to the east. Looks like its clearing up towards the west.

Thats odd, just had some small hail fall here a few minutes ago! There is quite a dark cloud moving away to the east.

There is an area on one of the tracks around here that can turn into a mini river if there has been large amounts of rain that runs into an actual river. My mum decided to video it this morning, when I saw the video I was quite suprised and would say that it is the worst that I have seen so far, I didn't see it myself but wouldn't wan't to as my shoes would probably get soaked!

We did have some wind here gusting to about 30-35mph again for about an hour or so last night but now its almost completely calm. Given all the warnings I would have thought there would have been a bit more to be honest. Was hardly a storm!

Wet and windy here again today but personally i'm not bothered as I like windy weather minus all of the rain. 35mph max on the house today, nothing compared to the 49mph that happened twice during that storm a week or so ago.

It was very windy here this evening and I suspect that there would have been a more widespread yellow warning given out by the Met Office if it was in summer, as there looks to have been widespread gusts between 45-55mph even down here in exposure around Wiltshire. Got 41mph on the house, but the wind was coming from the south which is the worst direction for getting the most of the winds as there are a load of trees in the way.

Well ended up with a max wind of 41mph on the house. Bear in mind that the wind tonight was coming from a southerly direction this evening so the worst of the winds were out in the field where 45-55mph gusts probably occoured. I was out in the garden during all that wind, it was certainly eerie at times.

There was a squall which brought the strongest gusts for a few minutes at around 6:00am which brought a few 50mph gusts and one 58mph gust on our house roof.

Personally if I had to come up with a dangerous wind criteria (possible serious injury or death) it would begin at 55mph as large branches or trees come down from a wind like that. A be aware advisory(Possible minor injury) for anything above 40mph as I have seen 45mph gusts to break large twigs or small branches off of trees when measuring with my handheld anemometer. I don't think our house will get the full amount of the wind tomorrow if its coming from a southerly direction as the trees block it off, I suspect it will probably read maxes between 35-40mph when there could be 50mph out in the farmers field.

I agree with rich here I'm afraid! Everyone has there own preferences in the weather, I personally love the wind as I think it is one of the most exciting things the weather can show apart from thunder and lightning.

This actually looks like it will be very similar to the strong winds we had back last year in November.

Really! Must be some sort of squall going on somwhere near you then. There isn't suppose to be any damaging winds here tonight.

I agree! High pressure or settled weather is for summer when we can do stuff outside.

Fairly drenched out there and a few puddles are on one of the tracks. Not quite as windy today, max gust of 31mph around midday.

Pretty wet and windy here this evening with the highest gust being 39mph which is not far below the 43mph gust I got a week or so ago. The whole ground is sodden from the rain. Anxiously waiting for this low coming next thursday, a long way out yet but if it does hit us it would likely bring some very high gusts.

This really is rediculous and going beyond a joke now! 180mph winds, for here . Sorry but if that really was the case we would all be evacuating now and told to leave the country. Yes, people should have every right to sue them if they come out with this nonsense. And I thought the scaremomgering of 'widespread 80mph wind storm to batter britain' was bad .

There was an awful lot of fog here this morning but it has broken up to allow some sun to come out. Really glad we had that windy day a few days ago as it still doesn't look like this high pressure is going anywhere soon. The models are showing some more unsettled interesting weather by the end of next week but I have a feeling that these charts will just be pushed back again. One can only hope I guess.

Well I am suprised we got a gust of 43mph on the roof of the house, that is quite high for us. I did go up on Castle Hill around midday and got frequent gusts of 40-50mph+ with a 59mph gust at one point. Was certainly worthwhile, last time I was in a wind like that was June 2012.

Going by Ian Fergusons forecast tonight we will have 40-45mph gusts tomorrow. I know that doesn't seem much to most people but thats the sort of wind we get down here most storms so i would think some people will be suprised at how windy it will be. Especially when you consider the fact that its been so calm for what seems like weeks on end! Will probably go up Castle Hill tomorrow to see if I can get 50mph+ gusts as the winds are much stronger up there due to its height and the shape of it.

Just dull and overcast with no wind and 3C. I do hope we are not going to have to endure another week of boring overcast conditions.

Yeah I know, I'm afraid I am just too impatient when it comes to atlantic storms as that is pretty much my best weather type just below thunderstorms. I guess we do deserve a long break really, we had our most strongest storm since January 2007 just last month!

Personally, I am getting a bit bored of this dead anticyclonic weather and it allready seems to have been around for weeks and not just days. We should really be getting lots of fun wet and windy weather at this time of year, and it is quite dissapointing for me to still see no signs of the Atlantic properly waking up in the later frames of the model outputs.
