Still breezy here, gusting up to 30kts but temperature still dropping , five degrees now from the height of the storm.
Looking at the radar there may be the odd snow shower in the next hour or two.
Unless I’m missing something ( very likely!), Eunice has taken the M4 to the East. Wind now westerly. Glass now 962.
No sign of any travelling wheelie bins yet.
Let’s hope it’s all a false alarm.
still quiet here, cloudbase at 2,000 feet moving smartly but about 18-20 mph at ground level. Wind still sou-westerly.
5.2•C here at the moment, deathly still and the gauge has barely moved.
Looking at the radar, cloud seems to be moving north east, at this rate it will be North Midlands up into Lancashire.
Strange.
The tall buildings are designed with storms in mind, there aren’t more roads or railways, more houses aren’t going to change anything, and that is infrastructure, not landscape!
Lanscape is hills, rivers, valleys, you know, natural stuff!
Just come off the Eunice Thread. A big flap on, you’d think it was Armageddon.
Glass still on 985, wind rairly moderate at moment. Thinking it’ll be like the Fastnet Race tragedy in 1980 or whenever. Expecting 65mph with sleet on the tail end here.
My sister was living in the City when the 87 hurricane occurred. It had been a hot day and someone had left one of the windows in the NatWest tower open and all night she watched boxes of computer paper(remember them?!) unloading into the night sky!
Exactly! Twenty miles south of you will it be rain or Snurr? Fingers crossed that 600 feet asl (our house is literally sat on the 600’ contour) will be the difference if ICON is to be believed.
Still, only 65 hours out, another 12 hours should bring it into the ‘likely’ scenario…
