Very Windy Saturday & Windier Bonfire Night Predicted

It is currently Very windy with wind speeds recorded at 32 mph recorded at Wellesbourne Airport and gusts beyond 45 mph, Unsurprisingly windier than the St. Jude's Storm for my area. Today is not that much less windier than the St. Jude's Storm in several other areas, as a maximum Wind Gust of 84 mph has been recorded at Mumbles Head, South Wales. Apart from the Wind there are not many showers falling in my area, however a heavy shower is slowly approaching.

 

The Met Office weather warnings seem fairly inaccurate and not high enough. I would say an Amber Wind Warning would be necessary for the South West coasts and I would expect a Yellow wind warning for the Midlands, parts of North England, Wales and the South West. Also the Met Office issued an Amber Wind Warning last week unnecessarily for some areas. Just proves that they do get it wrong.
