  1. Little tribute to the Great Ian McCaskil who has sadly passed away.......go type Big Freeze - January 1987 in you tube....and check the dream Forecast for our area.....and the one from Feb 1991
  2. Currently 1.6c where I am in Brighton....unusual as thought it would be much milder tonight...
  3. Anyone notice that the gusts last night were more like short puffs....lasting couple of seconds? Whereas Storm Katie back at Easter Time had long 8-10 second blasts??
  4. Yeah looking at the 12z i think the strongest gusts will be the Dungeness Area and the Dover Straits........Ferry Anyone?? Long way to go yet tho.....
  5. Thanks Cliffy...dont wanna lose tiles tonight
  6. Yeah im still getting 54mph as top gust at 4am on BBC recent update
  7. Hmm....I hate any warnings for wind....lost large roof tiles over the last few years and it'll be a rather stressful noisy night as chimney likes to roar too But!! The BBC and Met O for my area...BN2 Brighton have lowered expected gusts in latest forecast updated at 11:10 am.....after the Amber Warning was issued.......any thoughts on that?????
  8. I think some of those unofficial ones may be more correct. I live in the back edge of Brighton and a local swaith suffered a lot of large tree loss. And the winds were slamming in around 6-7am. So add the unofficial Shoreham and Lewes ones near me and you may have a clearer picture of local gusts. Now just got to wait for council to put up scaffolding and fix my roof ridge tiles before my loft gets soaked!
  9. Massive gust at approx 610am. 2 large roof tiles gone. Must have been 80mph+
  10. Thank goodness its a bank holiday......would never have faced a normal Monday like this!
  11. Veering to westerly here.....im actually scared.....havent slept.....somethings gonna crash soon
  12. Havent slept yet ....anyone notice ramp up in wind speed for SE from 8-9am??
  13. Ok. But surely there'd be some influence?? Im like you....dont like it when wind gets up. Tiles start chattering and dont need them coming off!
  14. Hmmm....not an expert.....but surely the Channel is cooler than the Atlantic this time of year so we may not see much more deepening?
  15. Its not been that bad today....been a bit on and off with the gusts. Id say St Jude and the whole of Winter 2014 was worse than today in Brighton. And I lived thru 1987 and the Burns Days Storms.....
  16. Well.....I lost a number of large roof tiles in the St Jude storm......so me and my fence arent hoping for a repeat
  17. Thought this might amuse you. Id say theres no point battoning fown the hatches there!!
  18. Anyone seen the 12z GFS for 30th Dec and 1st Jan?? Looks like some major storms just a week out.......
  19. Very squally showers in Brighton today.....55mph recorded locally earlier....then utter calm
  20. Im sure we had graupel in Brighton last night on top of the hoare frost?? Was cloudy when I opened curtains but everything was a slightly fluffy white...... :cc_confused:
  21. Theres snow on the trampoline.....but its raining :-/
  22. Thanks jimbo.....stay safe! And no going off to local "car parks" to "photograph the gusts" ;-)
