For a moment I lost control of every oraface there. YikesA little off topic but a holy moly chart from the 18z ensembles for next week.
- They might need to make a new level of warning, maybe a purple warning!?
32.9 mph now rising quickly.

Spent contrails are really shifting here, moving faster than the low fair weather cumulus

"Exceptional lee gusts for NE england and Yorkshire"
From jo.
I'm perfectly placed for this. Will report my gusts as they happen, with photo evidence. Last winter these lee events caused massive damage round here with top gusts of 89.4 and 99.2 mph before my annemometer was destroyed.
-
I wonder if the models are handling these storms as bad as this mornings rain!You may be right. Matt hugo twitter-"Thank goodness it's moving through quickly as models not handled the rain across the S today all well. Far more extensive and widespread."
-
The rain in the south this morning is really heavy and SHOULD have had warnings. Lets now move on.
-
Paul Hudson on yorkshire weather says widespread gusts to 70 mph especially west and south yorks. The whole yorks region will take a reasonable pasting. The potential here is overshadowed by the severity up scotland.

A little risky in my opinion, 12z severe gale wind field is from north mids northward.Saturdays warnings have just been altered/reduced drastically!!!!!!
-
Just makes you wonder what little GEM the 18z will come up with!That is quite a marked change at only 30 hours in. This must be a classic example of explosive cyclogenesis?
There's a pun in there somewhere.

hope so, west facing top of a ridge, 330 ft. We usually do very well.Been pretty accurate for my location so far with gusts into the 50's. The strongest winds will be just ahead of the cold front and as it moves through. So you may see an increase in wind speeds this afternoon, depending on your location/exposure.

will it happen though? According to the forecast on xc weather for my locale, the 06Z says it should be gusting 53mph here. 17.8 mph is the max here in the last hour with a mean of 7.3 mph. Gone a little wayward i'd say?Not often you see the Met forecasting gusts of over 100mph!! Looks like an exceptional weather event. I see the warnings have been removed further South for Saturday. Still a degree of uncertainty for the second system, small waves/secondary systems increasing the wind flow won't be picked up until nearer the time.

Quickie from me, for those of you with an android device go to google play and get the Blitzortung lightning detector. Marvelous little app, I love it, gets addictive. It updates every 60 seconds.

Getting rather rough here in Barnsley. Just had a 54.1 mph gust. Certainly more than forecast.
-

Quicky from me (oh god)
DO NOT let the guard down yet. The next round is nearer than you think. Looks like I've already won my windiest feb on record bet (750 quid in my pocket)
I'm recieving technical assistance on last weds storm, I recorded 99.2mph before the anemometer and pole were destroyed.

Here we go then.... Here is the wrecked pole and the new mega long 8 ft replacement. Not sure if you can make out the damage on next doors house, the entire corner of the house is gone.

I bit of closure on weds storm here for me. It looks likely there was a huge set of gusts but I just don't buy my stations 99.2 mph at the point of failure. Having said that there seems to be a clean line of chaos from darton high street, up through darton school and on the higher streets of my estate then over to and slightly beyond Mapplewell village. A run of 3 miles. I have a picture of my anemometer pole. How do I post it here of android?
-
I'm annoyed, can't afford new anemometer or rain gauge until the start of march.
Oh and one of next doors tiles cracked my en suite bathroom window. It also looks like that it was one of next doors tiles wiped out the anemometer. Their red tile debris is on my roof, will inspect in daylight tommorow.
-
Effing great, just great. The fence murdered my rain gauge.
-
the time for 99.2 mph was 20:31:06There was one absolute monster of a gust at about 8.30.. picked everything up in the garden.
