Cyclonic

I really hope it stays quieter here on the IOW, we most certainly could not cope with anymore rain, ive never seen flooding like we've had recently, and even roads closed that have never been before. The ground is so saturated and majority of the island is fields/grassland.

Nuuuu, Ive not stolen the weather station yet at the Needles..wwill get a false reading... Morning Matt M lol and Morning Everyone else

On it LOL!!

The severe wind gust which led to headlines (99mph at Needles, IOW) was an outlier related to the an extremely exposed anemometer on a cliff top on an exposed island which does not represent surface conditions. The peak gust on a mainland coastal station was 82mph. you still on about this...shall i ask for it to be took down ??? and placed in my back garden

Gawd...

Is it possible anyone can give me some data on Denmark please..have friends who live there asking

Yes i know..I completely understand where you are coming from, however the IOW was hit bad last night..and i was being a tad sarcastic..long nightshift so yeah sorry.

Lets disregard anything that happened on IOW then shall we, after all we ARE in the sea

Was confirmed from the official Met Office 93.15mph recorded at 02;00am However another recording may of been confirmed after that What summer Sun just said

Horrendous on islands roads, getting home was awful, so much debris everywhere

Constant weather reports coming from people all over island..will fill you in later..have to try and find a way home from work.. Am signing of and will be taking it steady getting home

It has become considerable worse here on IOW..really gusting now, and power flickering all time

appears to be picking up a bit again, the rain has been relentless, got to be at least 6hrs non stop raining.

It seems to of calmed a bit here on the IOW ? have we seen the worst or is there more to come yet ?

Im indoors trying to work lol...and with no intention of going out, well apart from the odd smoke..roll on 8am when I finish work

Not sure how much worse this is going to get..im in a very exposed part of Ryde, my work place is pretty much on Ryde seafront.

getting very gusty here now, have no idea what just flew past my office window.. Location - Ryde IOW - At work

Getting pretty windy here on IOW now, some very strong gusts

Not Tom..Its tom's mother

Getting a Tad worried here now on the Isle of Wight..Could i say i need to batten down my hatches or is it still to early and could it track furher south like some have been saying..Some updates and information on this Low would be very very much appreciated guys.
