Its a considerably darker & dull day here than usual with a slight 'tinge' to the clouds that's due to the Saharan Dust mixed in with the rain which is still passing overhead. A slight increase on yesterday's temperatures at 9.5'c so the cold front hasn't crossed just yet.
-
The Saharan Sand effects were also exacerbated by intense wildfires that were ongoing in Portugal at the time, seeing daylight turn from a typical blue summer hue to the dusty yellow/red was eery and somewhat reminded me of the lighting effect that I saw during the Solar Eclipse in Turkey just before it completely dropped to 'twilight' and then darkness.

A 65mph gust was recorded in Buxton overnight as that squall line passed at 3:20am, which doesn't surprise me.
-
Well that woke me up quickly so much for 'light rain until the morning' as per the MWIS and local overnight forecast.
-
Jocelyn has definitely been a lot more noisier than Isha in terms of the energy some of the gusts have had, it sounds like things are slowly beginning to calm down outside now but the warning doesn't expire until 1pm. Fortunately I was having a headache at midnight and once that shifted I was straight off into the land of sleep. Buxton recording a 57mph gust at midnight but locally it's been a lot higher when directly exposed to the SWly winds.
-
Must be some kind of Foehn effect going on that's coming off the Welsh mountains, temps remaining at 10'c with gusts ever increasing since 8pm.
-
I wonder if there's a foehn effect going on that's coming off the Welsh mountains with temps, as the gales have increased here notably since 8pm.
-
Peak gust in Buxton today (so far) has been 42mph, but what was more noticeable is just how mild it felt outside at 12'c when in the shade. Not quite 'shorts & t-shirt' weather but definitely didn't need the down jacket for a walk into town.
-
It's slightly concerning that there's been no reports yet from anywhere around the Western Isles or areas in the Highlands, I expect power-outages are to blame, but they've still got another 3hrs of Isha's wrath to endure before things finally settle down for them.

Today's 'worst diverted flight' winner?
-
I wonder if this was the feature the UKV was trying to pick-out, albeit on the model run it was supposed to have passed at 11pm and not 1am.
-
Squall-line forming between mid-wales and York? it's starting to get noticeably gusty here again ahead of that developing feature.

MEN reporting that 8000 homes are without power in North West

Same here, literally gone from sounding still outside to now full-belt 'whistling' sound as the gusts are trying to get through the window. Somewhat unnerving but i'm prepared with a torch, phone, and book to read if leccy goes out for longer than 30 minutes and the novelty wears off.
-
I'm hearing it'd due to there being limited resources at MAN with it being a Sunday evening, any available gates will have to be paid for by the airline depending on the length of hold as the diversion aircraft will need additional fuelling and crews if they're due out in the morning hours to free-up slots for the airlines already booked. The Jet2 Divert that went 7700 ended up at the far end of T4 after landing.

It's starting to get noisier outside after a 2hr lull, Buxton reported 55mph at around 17:45 but the expected squall-line has yet to form and it'll be ahead of this where i'm expecting to see the stronger +70mph gusts as it moves through at around 11pm.

Only 55mph max in Buxton so-far a little before 6pm, I suspect the higher gusts will be associated with a squall-line that's due to develop within the next hour or two and pass across the NW at around 11pm (from what UKV Model is showing).

Fuel Emergency, maybe inbound to MAN https://www.flightradar24.com/EXS71Q/33b3591e

EIN55N gone around, you can see from the FR24 data just how powerful the winds are when they turned to face the headwind and groundspeed rapidly dropped to 92kts. On approach they were dropping 100ft with each data-package return and I can't imagine they got anywhere near 'minimums' with the low-cloud and rain, even on a CATIII approach.

Pax on EIN55N from Lyon to Dublin must be getting sick of spinning around on hold for the past hour. https://www.flightradar24.com/EIN55N/33b34e59

Pax on EIN55N from Lyon to Dublin must be getting sick of spinning around on hold for the past hour. BA also diverted into MAN from failing to land at Belfast not too long ago. https://www.flightradar24.com/EIN55N/33b34e59

Macc Aviation is now livestreaming from MAN, from the past he generally records well in-to the late evening hours so should be catching a few arrivals just as the higher windspeeds ramp up further.
