Hello, I've been put on pre-moderation on the BBC messageboards for writing Spanish messages - very petty - so I thought I'd pop over here...

What sort of gusts have been recorded so far? I'm surprised warnings of storm force winds have been issued, when gusts are forecast to reach only 70mph...I thought storm force was 90mph.

Yep...that'll be the cold front\squall line that gave us the 90mph gust and horizontal rain!
