    Storm Angus - the first named storm of the season

    in Storms & Severe Weather

    Posted · Edited by Fitzwis

    Check out the live weather data feed from the Jersey Met site paying particular attention to the wind speed at St Helier Harbour. They're expecting the worst of Angus between 23:00 and 03:00, a very similar time of impact to the 87 affair which caused unprecedented damage here. That said, the 87 storm blew from a direct southerly direction whereas the worst of Angus is expected to be from the SW which will potentially be our saving grace due to the islands geographical representation including terrain and physical factors of the environment.

    Morning all (after a very late night!)  :lazy:

     

    Does anyone know where we could find or does anyone have the data of the average lightning strike rate for Jersey's storm between 23:30 last night and 02:30 this morning?

     

    It would be interesting to find out as the reality was exceptional to say the least  :shok:

     

    Here's to round 2 predicted for later today and tonight  :drinks:

     

    Oh, and here's a picture by Nick Venton (shared on his facebook page) taken from Noirmont Point (where we were) as the storm approached late last night  :clapping:

    Hi all

     

    Just back home from work with my eyes firmly trained on the radar and satellite as thundery showers / storms are expected to develop in our area overnight. The current storm over Biscay appears to be heading in a NNE direction and will probably miss us but as with all developing situations, anything can quite literally happen  8)

     

    I'll also be cheering on our England ladies tonight in their epic semi-final against Japan so hopefully we'll see some flashes of brilliance from our team together with some thunderous goals ... I'll see myself out  :unsure2:

    Some very active cells moving this way from our SE with a moderate to heavy localized downpour just witnessed in the SE of the island. So localized in fact, the west of the island remained dry! Lots of thunder heard from my current location with recent sferics showing up on the NE of the island. Exciting times for us Tstorm lovers. It could be an interesting 24 hours :yahoo:

    My apologies if this has already been mentioned but with some of the highest tides of the year expected late next week coupled with the low pressure modeled at present on both ECM and GFS (I haven't seen UKMO's take on possible events yet), things could get very interesting along South and West facing coasts. As ever, more runs are needed before FI may potentially become a harsh reality.

    Yeah the black clouds looked ominous but skimmed Ryde and hit sandown,lake,shanklin etc couldn't believe it

    the channel looks very lively for you guys tonight! Good luck pal

    Cheers iowpompeylee :) ... next shower incoming ... temp down to 1.8C. If only we could tap into those larger looking echoes to our West. All that snow going to waste, not wanting to sound greedy or anything :D

    We have a potent snow streamer setting up shop here with snow falling for the last hour or so, moderate to heavy. Accumulations are very small at this time but as the temperature drops things could get interesting later this evening. And I note from the radar there's plenty more upstream for us too, not wanting to sound greedy or anything  :cold:  :spiteful:
