Scorching sun for me, in fact any day with temps above 25c. You can't really do much about being too warm, it's much easier to heat up than cool down for me anyway.
Surprised there's no yellow for wind in the central belt tonight. Seems to be quite isolated to just central Scotland with gusts quite frequently in the 45-55mph range. We've had a yellow warning for lower wind speeds already this year.
I think most Atlantic storms form in a similar way really. Big temp difference fire's up the jet and makes any lp's more potent. Where they undergo strengthening and weakening really depends where the jet takes them although much like hurricanes they almost always start weakening quickly when they're over land.
Good thing that one didn't take the same track as recent storms. 80-110mph would've brought widespread damage, it would've been one of the most severe storms to hit the UK in decades if it had been a few hundred miles south.
It has been raining heavily for about 2 hrs now and it's supposed to continue for another 3-4 hrs before turning to heavy showers so I'd expect some flooding. Breezy too but it doesn't look like it'll be as strong as Isha.
Seems to be a bit of uncertainty on this one still. Gfs has weakened it a bit and looks to have peak inland gusts no higher than 60mph but the ukv has 70mph gusts in parts of the central belt again around 1-2am on weds.
It certainly looks the part but I'm guessing it's expected to weaken as it approaches us. Isha didn't really weaken much until it had already reached the UK.
