Did they airbrush out the smashed in co-op cashpoint, racist atmosphere, and cider-swigging kids, then?

slightly off topic,everyone in Tow Law is related so the gene pool is well short.you can spot the die hards by the wool growing out the back of their necks.

That video is hilarious, it might even tip a plastic chair over if carelessly left out in the open.

Much stronger than that here now.

Just been outside for a ciggie and the wind has really picked up here,i know we are not going to get bad winds but saying that it is pretty gusty out there.

i wouldnt be so sure, it could get pretty nasty on the south coast

[AWD]

Current windspeed here is 4mph, max gust today was 27mph!!

I better get the washing in!!!! Lol!

Thats exactly whay I was thinking. Hastings sea front has been windier than that vid this afternoon.

It's not even due till tomorrow is it?, and all these posts about a bit of wind

[Mark Bayley]

Small differences between the UKMO and GFS, the UKMO placing the low further south at T24 (but not by much). It now seem the strongest winds will be across Southern Scotland, NI and Northern England.

agreed! south coast could get some quite strong gusts!

[Snowy Bob]

Bit of wind, nothing much down here!

[Liam J]

12z UKMO and NAE taking a more southerly track with UKMO model showing the strongest winds further south across Southern Scotland and Northern England.

Beco gone to basic mode due to high traffic.

They have also updated forecasts. (beco.org.uk) had to refresh saved sites.

Latest BBC forecast now mentions gusts perhaps up to 70 mph even as far South as N Wales and N Midlands

Looking at the agreement in the 12z runs I think that risk map would need reviewed and changes made. Everything has moved further southwards on latest guidance.

i couldn't have put it better myself

M6 Buoy 62095 reporting a drop of 9.2 mb in last recorded info that means its seen a 21mb drop in 3 hours 4mb then 7mb

Yep I agree with that. Looks to me like S Scotland/N parts of N England, N Ireland are going to be hit hard especially locations such as Glasgow, Edinburgh.

Personally I haven't bothered with Beco since I looked on there this morning and their headline called this system Katina. At least get the name right !

Currently showing 979mb i think... (converting from inches)

[peterf]

70mph right over the top of me according to the beeb weather forecast

[kold weather]

Probably need to shift Beco's zone of highest winds a little south based on the 12z runs.

[pyrotech]

Strange that K1 (south west UK) K2 M3 and M6 all falling rapidly South of and west of Ireland, but K4 (due west of Belfast) and K5 ( between Hebrides and Iceland) are still rising, looking at the models i would have expected the south ones to drop slower and the northern ones to be dropping like a stone around now.

[PeterDoswell]

maybe it will take more of a turn south as the hours go by . certainly one to watch .....

[SP1986]

At the moment it's breezy here, not particularly windy, and even if it did move any further south on subsequent runs, I wouldn't expect any strong winds here, due to being protected by the hills. I would expect maybe an odd 30mph gust here.

I'm surprised its been shifted south and weakened a little bit, but we need to keep a close eye on it.

Definitely for here though, no worries whatsoever, a breeze rather than a wind.
