Think the MetO have turned off the reporting from buoys

Met Office are on SkyNews at 8.20am might be worth a watch

Highest winds around 130km/80mph at the moment on the northern back edge. Let's see where that makes landfall

102km latest gust at Sherkin Island just reported...

Does this bring the snow risk much further south too???

I do feel the Met Office are really praying this weakens as it crosses the country, but I've a feeling is moving to fast to do that and will maintain is power all way. And all the models suggesting their wrong too I'm forecast max gust of 67mph on Meto website. I can see them having egg on their face come the 6 o'clock news tomorrow

I was just thinking the same....most likely Bude, Cardiff, Swansea and Bristol...then London gets devastated and no one there lol

Pressure at the PAP Buoy had steady the past few hours at 995mb. Not sure how far Eunice is from it or if past it now and deepening nearer. K1 Buoy is dropping at about 3mb an hour now at 1002mb...

Firstly, there are over 30 buildings in London 150m or higher built since. And elsewhere in the country. Population is some 10m higher, more urban development, roads, rail, the list goes on. The country isn't the same exactly is it.

I know there has been a lot of comparisons made with 87 and Burns Day storms. But, it's worth remembering that the landscape of England had changed dramatically over the passed 30yrs and there winds don't need to be that strong to cause devastating scenarios like funneling, mini tornados, etc. Also the timing of this couldn't be any worse really, ground will be saturated due to recent rainfall. There are so many more variables to consider this time and probably the best advice is to stay as safe as you can.

Pap Observations WWW.METOFFICE.GOV.UK Pap 7 day weather forecast including weather warnings, temperature, rain, wind, visibility, humidity and UV here you go

I went out and brought loads of candles and make sure phone and tablet charged before Friday...oh and plenty of drink too lol

Is it just me or are Metoffice really underplaying this or do they know something we don't know. I'm now in Eltham South East London and these seem at least 10mph what we can expect

Ah ok get that, my french isn't very good lol

I just saw this and did intrigue me greatly at that 200kph in the Atlantic...is that possible another low forming right behind Eunice or 'stingjet' that might be dragged across south england after Eunice.

I think what might turn out to be interesting is the amount of taller buildings we have since last major storm this south. Places like Shard must be expecting 100mph winds at that high up, infact something like 11 buildings over 200m in London. Let's see if they were built to withstand this extreme event. Also, wanted to add given the timing and strength it's certain Met Office will change the Amber to Red, I expect tomorrow morning. And might be a government warning advising people to stay indoors as this will be epic event by the looks of it. Something the models aren't going for and considering that it's a rapidly declining low is that it further depends still after landfall and as it enters North Sea, but might pick this up once it's properly formed and track is tied down.

Nothing on the radar but snowing nicely here too

Nice dusting from the shower that just passed over.

Interesting reports of lightning on the radar, wonder if its associated with the low in northern France, maybe pushing energy north.. Lets see what happens.

This would suggest a possible lot of snow between now and then.

Last few frames definitely seems to be ENE which would be fantastic for this night of streamer watching..,

Something definitely stirring in Greenwich, light snow with odd bigger flake. VID_20210209_004847.mp4

I've had my kip, so refreshed and ready for tonight's fun

That's accumulating snowfall, so looks like it could all be starting now and radar does suggest so.
