It does look like according to netwx radar the centre is roughly Reading area. So the expected shift north of Ciaran once it makes "landfall" might have begun. With that in mind, the SE quadrant, and higher wind gusts should now start being felt in SE, with SW England seeing round 2 of the winds picking up again IMO

Where do I find the latest wind gusts please?

All good,no need for apologies my friend. Staying safe I hope! -
Wind now definitely picked up. No idea on speed but is noticeable.. heard a bump on the roof too but that could be absolutely anything. Yay for interesting stuff!
-
Rains arrived and sounds windier. Stay safe everyone!

I don't think my kettle will fit in my flask Had our water company email and text yesterday and housing association do the same today with general info. Never known them to do that before so something new.

This update on the 06z gfs, at least for Kent does look near identical to the amber alert. Noting the purple pushing into the isle of sheppey and the amber alert covering same isle. Interesting to look at. But haven't a scooby how it'll turn out of course. Will just look out the window tomorrow. Better accuracy

Wait for the trampolines to take flight as they do every single time it gets windy

No need to be sorry, Donna. Completely normal to feel worried and it is understandable. Try not to think too far ahead right now and focus your mind on something other than your mind trying to run off with different scenarios ("what if..", what about...). Yes it does seem scary because it's an unknown right now. We fear and worry over the unknown and that is perfectly normal to feel like that. Just know that you aren't alone. I'm certain there are MANY others who are also experiencing the same concerns as you - especially when they have their kids to think of too. *hug*

It is the storm of 87 that got me interested in weather and my true love for the extremes weather can bring. Fascinating. I won't bore you with my "overnight" stories but 4 year old me seeing the madness and destruction the following morning and being WOW - Weather did this? Honestly.. If i could experience those same feelings from that night and the following morning again, I would. I truly felt "alive". However, 40 year old me now a days is much more aware of others and as much as I would like another 87, the effect it would have on others does outweigh that desire. Plus my mental health and self loathing doesn't need a new reason to pick up. "This is what I wanted, and look what has happened.. damage, injuries and (God forbid!!) deaths.. this is my fault..." etc etc. But yeh, so moving on Whether we see any new corrections in the models and track, whatever may or may not happen with Ciaran, stay safe people. Especially those on the coasts.. alexis etc. Y'all shall be in my prayers

1 lane of Junction 5-4 of the M2 has been closed due to flooding according to the local news. 14 mile tailback apparently

Looking at the timing of those 2 charts, that is going to occur during the morning rush hour too and to continue through the day. Dangerous winds at any time but when most people are likely to be out travelling or day to day activities makes it twice as dangerous! Glad I booked that day off work so I could get repair guy in for my flat, but honestly hope the guy stays home if these charts verify. A repair can wait. Stopping someone being injured (or worse) is WAY more important

For some reason, that looks really creepy to me.

I thought that was common. Particularly in summer? I did see similar for today though. A "spike" almost

Have you turned your heating on yet?
Vortex3929 replied to stewfox's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Heating went on for the first time this season today. Hoped to wait for later in the year but the flat felt so chilly today -
I gave in. The heating has gone on the first time this season.
-
Bit chilly tomorrow by the looks of it

An unusual looking sky. Looking roughly West

Hey buddy. Been a while! Indeed there's many variables especially for us as you say and it seems something exceptional is needed to guarantee snow now a days. That article does suck too but remember it does say August for them. Do the alps have an all round snow-cover at the tops i wonder (or did, going by that article...) It also reminded me of a pretty depressing article back in 2020. Straw clutching? Hug a haystack from this article Climate change: Snowy UK winters could become thing of the past WWW.BBC.COM By the 2040s most of southern England may no longer get sub-zero days, new Met Office data suggests.

Like freeze said, this morning didn't look like a day I wanted to leave my bed. Damp, cloudy and generally yuk! But alas, work. By 1030am it started to brighten with quite the lovely afternoon. Blue skies and sunshine with Sunday still looking lovely temperature wise, albeit breezy Seen on YouTube however new York has had quite the rainfall. 5 inches for some parts leading to flooding. Poor folks

A chilly day again under the cloud. A work leaving do this evening (spoons buffet, recommended ) and a very atmospheric sky with the moon behind a thin veil of cloud to marvel at. Quite Halloween looking at 1st glance. An evening walk, now to settle down and chill have a good evening all!

Ahh.. I did think of that but thought I'd not make any sense by referencing it. So you're sabre toothed and love acorns.. I see. Funniest character in the movies by far. Afternoon walks are great. Autumn makes for the most colourful walks too as the leaves change. And kicking the piles of leaves. More breezy now this evening too. Feels milder compared to earlier as well.
