[HighPressure]

Lightening over NW Kent, enough to dip the power here?

[gottolovethisweather]

calm down calm down. Please be beware of overhyping the whole situation.

Right, I MUST now go to sleep.

[Bluebreezer54]

No one staying up with me to witness this beasties strength? Keeps cranking up here, judging by the 65mph gusts recorded along central southern coasts already and a pressure of 987 i am guessing this is more violent than met office predicted.

Im hanging in here for another hour or so. Reports elsewhere of very strong winds in Brighton.

[Keraunic]

Well I'm still here and I can definately hear the wind now and the rain. Bring it on!!!

My weather station isn't corrected for sea level pressure and i've got 980mB dropping pretty quick. Corrected for height above sea level it should be 988mB. Fallen by one millibar as I write.

Wind just started, hurling against my bedroom window. Just don't want my favourite Tree in the House! lol

Wind has picked up a fair bit the last hour and i believe the worst is yet to have hit..?

[msx999]

wind woke me up here in West London, and I'm a HEAVY sleeper...

[Tilly]

Wow that's really starting to pack a punch now! Have the window open listening to the constant roar but the gusts are now

Shaking the house. That's never happened before.

[Neilsouth]

Tis a bit windy!, never heard it roar so much since living at the new place

[Bluebreezer54]

Unconfirmed report of 73mph gust at Worthing

[ZONE 51]

That's what I was going to ask, are we at the peak here on the south coast or do we have worse to come?

It's very rough here in north Surrey and far more further south. This is just the start of the wind storm, over the hours increasingly violent gusts of winds are likely.

[Neilsouth]

WOW!!

Just looked outside, I can see the moon and the clouds are racing across plus the wind is roaring

It's like the end of the world is coming

Awesome

Possible sting jet forming ?

[snowbob]

Last 20 mins no wind at all

Confused . Com

[cj114]

Barometer has dropped rather a lot now. I think the southern counties will suffer more from this low. I wish that I slept in the back of the House, all Southerly or SW or even SE winds keep me awake. And my daughter too. Son will wake up as usual not hearing anything.

Would swop but he is not having my en-suite! lol

[essexweather]

Possible sting jet forming ?

With gusts of 73 miles per hour already reported on the South coast, this could well be a sting jet as some have mentioned.

[Keraunic]

Is this the beginning of the end.......?? :o

[cj114]

Sting Jet? Please give more info, why would there be one? cheers.

Gust just shook the House, everyone still sleeping though.

Well it's going to get worse before it gets better!

This is one beast of a low in terms of wind, the wind is roaring outside

Should be much better by sunrise though
