Having had it pass over me I couldn't agree more. It is nothing like the winds that come before or after. Secure everything now, even things you think are too heavy to be moved by the wind. My bbq (r.i.p) weighs 87kg and was picked up and tossed across the garden. The winds were unbelievable, the worst I've ever seen. Quite frightening. I just can't imagine what is going to happen if that continues across the country into rush hour. Be careful people.
Carol on BBC just said 80mph gusts will occur widely across England over the next couple of hours, not good in rush hour as you say

This caravan in Hastings is going to fly
You can't have got much sleep!!

Model estimates from 36-48h ago were more accurate than later estimates -- the low appears to be developing a very dangerous squall line feature now (0600h) west of an Oxford-Bournemouth line and likely to be moving through London and the southeast around 0800h. Winds increase from SW 50 mph to W 70-80 mph as this squall line passes and there could even be stronger gusts to come if this develops thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, SW winds in the Dover marine area of the Channel are currently gusting to 90 mph or more (150 km/hr).
If you're still to the east of the squall line check the radar and get ready -- walking or driving is strongly discouraged as trees and other debris very likely to be flying about. I would expect that winds might continue to gust for 3-4 hours beyond time of passage of this front but the most violent gusts will be close to its passage.
I just saw a flash whilst standing outside taking in the gusts, although that wouldn't be associated with the possible thunderstorms that may occur with the soon to come squalls!

99 mph recorded at the Needles. Plenty of trees down, ferries cancelled on the IOW, hope this calms down have a ferry to catch at 11.30, what are my chances?
Ha I remember from my days on the Island, I used to have to gear myself up first, before boarding the FastCat when it was rough out there :-)
-
I can see an area from Swindon up to Bedford having a big squall and sudden high winds very shortly............
-
It has become considerable worse here on IOW..really gusting now, and power flickering all time
I used to live on the Island, in Ryde, and I never experienced a good wind storm :-(
-
No problem, it has seemed to have merged lately. But that squall passed through here, I would say easily some 60mph gusts!
I can imagine! I know it must have been quite an event for you, they can appear out of nowhere and last for just 15 minutes :-)

Look at near the back of the where the rain is, was more defined a bit earlier, now turned a bit messy!It's the lump of rain that is over Taunton, just approaching WSM, at the 5.00am frame!
My mistake, upon zooming, there was a squall of sorts, but probably around the 04:15/04:30 frame; the 05:00 seems to to enter an organised rain band
-
Looking at RainToday it does indeed look like a squall line developing. Hope your shed holds out.
With respect, I can't see a squall line there on Rain Today?
-
Probably the cold front passing through. Surface obs show a wind shift to the North West. Note the temperature drop across the south west as well.
It is most likely the Cold Front passing through yes, as it passed the Scilly's just under 2 hours ago so that would make sense
-
Just had a nose in the south west thread and a few people saying they havn't had many gusts of note and can't see much about many trees falling. That could mean not much will hit the SE or the damage will be limited?
No it doesn't mean that for the SE. It's what happens when the main storm gets here and gives us a couple of hours of 40mph gusts, then as it starts to exit, we get 50 to (maybe) 70mph gusts from another direction (NW, NNW), up until 10am (ish).

They just had Nick Miller on BBC News 24 giving an update, He said the winds are picking up inland now and as the low passes through the winds will veer to a NW and pick up intensity, with gusts expected to exceed 60-70 mph, but soon over as the the low is expecting to have passed through by noon.
Indeed, I saw him too. I am expecting 50mph gusts for London and the SE, I am veering away from the 70mph's to be honest though. I think it will be East Anglia that get them, but very briefly.
-
I'm in Turners Hill (near Crawley) and cant remember 70mph gusts for a long time. Already blowing around out there, garden flooded. Waiting for the main event
Don't take it as definite, that is my thoughts and from looking at various sources. I do think you and me will at least get an hour of at least 50mph gusts between dawn and 9am though for sure. Even that will be something for us!
-
So between 4-6am for Sussex/Surrey. If this atm isn't the worst then I cant believe what's its going to be like later
Any chance of the storm intensify before it gets here and what speeds we're expecting for sussex/surrey
Possibly up to 70mph from 6am - 9am, I am waiting up for it. Don't remember that here for years and years (Crawley). It will be quite adrenaline pumping to see that, once you see it.
-
Any thoughts of how this will affect norfolk
A period from 10am to 3pm could be your turn so to speak, more likely NW gales/severe gales as the system exits through The Wash - You may get gusts up to 75mph
Possible severe storm Monday 28th October 2013 Part 3

Good Morning Jo, a real pleasure to be posting to you. May I ask, will there be a big squall in the SE soon?
