Contrary to 2 hours ago, the wind is now being felt here north of Buxton. It's steadily inclimenting by the hour and already the window-sill is starting to creak nervously from some of the stronger gusts. It could be a faction of direction & height, given Manchester is reporting only 22mph winds at 0050UT.

[Liam J]

Very windy outside, the roof's starting to creak and the chimney is howling.

Im in my town called Windy Bank and I tell you something, it ain't half living up to its name tonight.

[Aaron]

Ssustained winds above 30 mph at the moment..

[Liam J]

I'm back in the North East for the weekend, and It's got a lot windier in the last hour here in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear.

Boulmer in Northumberland has recently had a 72mph gust, and the rest of the North East looking like around 50-60mph gusts but I wouldn't be surprised if some other prone spots were getting gusts around 70mph at the moment.

I would guess some gusts are around 60mph here in Jarrow.

barely slept with the noise of the wind, gusts up to over 70mph here now!

[Chris.R]

Strangely calm here, not even a light breeze. It wasn't even a windy night. What's going on? I'm on the coast

[Liam J]

Stormy this morning, mean speads in excess of 40mph gusting over 60mph.

Edit - top gust in the last 15 minutes 66.7mph, the wind has picked up further with severe westerly gales.

[The PIT]

Hit 63 mph overnight and wee bit breezy this morning still.

[GulberwickWeather]

Just had a gust of 89mph down in Fair Isle. Still up to around F8/9 here gusting 60mph+

Last night was interesting - round about 1am sustained strong wind. Looking outside the rain was getting blown up the road in a similar manner to what you see on videos of Hurricaines making landfall.

Computer was off so didnt check readings but looking back at a weather station near me gusts over 100 km/h

Impressive especially at this location.

Very windy overnight, so much so our very heavy outside bin has been thrown to the other side of the garden :o

[Cookie]

windy night again last night gusting 70 mph + with substantiated winds of 60 mph!

[Terminal Moraine]

A maximum gust of 65 mph here earlier this morning with a mean speed of 42 mph around 0520; the first gale this month.

Not as windy now but still a mean speed of 32 mph, gusting over 50 mph.

[Lauren]

Something's not quite right, the biggest gust recorded here has been 10mph in the last 24hours.

Definately wrong.

[knightrider]

Looks like the week ahead is shaping up to be wet and often quite windy too with gales likely for some, a succession of deep atlantic lows are rolling in with a particularly nasty looking 1 wynding itself up towards the end of the week!

[Cookie]

turns out the reason only 87 mph was recorded at ness was due to the wind cups blowing away!

[Cloud 10]

Very windy and wet here in the early hours of the morning,some slight damage around the place,roof tiles blown off,gutters etc.

[Liam J]

Wind easing all the time now, still gusting over 40mph.

Top gust 66.7mph this morning.

Some potent looking depressions being progged this week with potential for even stronger winds than just recently, things could get rather nasty indeed especially from midweek.

[AlexM94]

gust of 82mph at Wick Airport this morning! one of the windiest places overnight, was fairly wild, and quite a bit of damage done!
