Would love to watch it, however it doesnt load in firefox and keeps showing a blank 20 second advert over and over in chrome

Working fine here on both....

Have you got a ad blocker running??

[Raidan]

I was also thinking that Carl.

I'd think that'll be related to you running an adblocker - switch that off and I expect you'll be able to see the stream. It's working fine in chrome (and all other browsers) here.

Working fine on Firefox on my Mac too.

Read a post on another forum describing it as a trough, but whatever it is has developed notably in the past few hours.

Well I'm not sure what is approaching the SW, but there is a trough forecast over Wales tomorrow, which will spread eastwards during the day. Is that it? Or are we looking at something developing that wasn't quite expected?

If that is the trough forecasted to be over Wales tomorrow then the forecast needs updating because the rate that feature is approaching I'd say it will reach here in the next few hours.

car alarm gone off round the corner , some hefty gusts now , pounding the side of the house

[NO LONGER POSTING]

What is that 0.0

[sunny scunny]

It's getting really wild out there now.Much more frequent gusts.

[Cymro]

The winds began easing around dinner time but have come back strong again, very iresponsible of the met and most weather sites if Im onest to ignore the Western and Southern Coastline of Wales. I.e Pembrey Sands, Mumbles all have recorded gusts of over 60mph today, some as high as 68mph in southern Cardiff, that isn't your average cardiff Wind, yes we're quite used to it here on the brecon beacons and in carmarthenshires coastal plains but still a school boy error for them to write severe weather off here. Typical weather stations constantly snubbing Wales, it does my tits in.

Yes, a trough is developing. The showers and longer spells of rain will push in to the South West over night, so tomorrow some people could see some cracking downpours.

[Luton Weather]

Are we going to see any more of this in South East England (Luton, etc)?

One small tree down in the garden. Very strong gusty winds but nothing too major.

Possibly, but it really looks to start dying down for us from 19.00hrs onwards:

Dodgy area like Burgess Hill eh? :winky:

Yes, it does seem rather odd. Also strange, is the fact that you have now made 2,571 posts and nobody has asked you to add your location, Brecon Beacons (?) to your profile page.

Keep your reports coming, although I imagine by now your winds are slowly dying down. Roll on the squally showers is waht I say.

Cheers

40mph could bring a tree down fairly promptly I think, give the soil is fairly wet.

I think there is a tendency to overexaggerate winds, for example a 35-40mph can certainly knock someone unsteady. 50mph wind and you're really struggling to stand still, 70mph and there is a chance of being taken off the ground, momentarily.

Only a sappling would be uprooted by 40mph not a tree of any significant size!

[Robbie Garrett]

Was wondering if a separate thread should be opened to cover what is approaching the UK from the South West?

I did create one, was locked within the hour. Forum mod's save bandwidth and re-open it for discussion please, if possible.

[Maitland]

Hi Maitland, you've just tempted me, a keen kayaker, to go on the school run early, to have a look at the Allan in town.

Quite windy here but nothing dramatic so far.

Anyone noticed the tightning of the isobars on the XCweather pressure map just SW of the low centre, is that the main event for us?

A keen kayaker !!! I remember watching the Knaik in spate last year after heavy rain and was amazed at the power of the water and then I heard some voices up river and watched with utter amazement as four blokes were popping kayaks into the water !!!

As you you said nothing dramatic at the minute, I haven't even seen a branch of any of the trees yet. After the storm in May there was utter carnage in the back garden here and at the minute I don't have any leaves of the trees to talk about.

[Luton Weather]

Possibly, but it really looks to start dying down for us from 19.00hrs onwards:

Thanks :-)

Looks like we might get something tonight:

I'd go as far as to say it's probably more likely to be the other way around. I would suggest sapplings (or young/small trees) are more able to withstand a 40mph gust than a tree with a top heavy crown.
