Wind picking up here now, just recorded a 57.2 mph gust, been gusting around 50-55 mph for a while now, average around 35-40 mph. I wonder what tonight's max will end up being.

Edit: just topped 60 mph

Yes, getting windy on this side of the Pennines too. It should be interesting as where I am seems to take advantage of the funneling effect when the wind is S or SW.

It's drizzling here in Leeds with a breeze just strong enough to waft the for sale sign next door.

It's scary reading what the south is in for overnight. Take care anyone in the at risk areas.

hmm. not in so much as localised effects...IMO, unlike 1987, which I remember well, I've a hunch that whilst not as severe, this atlantic system will throw the effects of severe weather over a wider area...(meaning severe/tornadic weather) just an opinion

Yes paul was going to mention how warm it feels outside kinda reminds me off a summer evening before a storm passes through. If i am right in thinking this may make the storm more violent warmer air source?

I agree AJ

It is the risk tomorrow morning from 3-11z within the Convective Zone that crosses the Uk that poses the most risk to property and Trees etc, we could easily see 80mph gusts within Squally showers even Inland, added to that risk is the likelihood of 1 or 2 Tornadoes thrown into the Mix which could generate winds in excess of 100mph or T2 to T4 Intensity.

The main winds at the moment are calming down in the South West with the strongest transferring Northwards, the 2nd wave of action in about 6 hours time will be the main player!
