Aye, wind screaming noo.

 

Almost 25mb dropped in 4 hrs wi this wee low pressure system!

[Benvironment]

1.9C here with a 25mph southerly wind.  It was gusting to 35mph an hour ago but has calmed down a bit since.

[BurntFishTrousers]

Flybe plane at EDI reported "moderate turbulence" on arrival.

[Mesosphere]

And there goes a wheelie bin, first of many I suspect  

 

Edit: A few more crashes and bangs in the last few mins, sounds like garden furniture in someone's garden

Hoolie has more than arrived here, winds howling outside windows shaking! Are the worst of the winds behind that intense line of rain in the Western isles??

[snawbaw]

the wind has really ramped up in the last half hour, some of the gusts have been quite powerful.  Quite unsettling listening to it powering down the glen towards the house, makes you feel quite wee and a bit of a feartie really.  I think it's going to be a long night.

Tide just turned in the forth and on its way back in. High tide due at 05:20, couple that with the winds forecast for that time and there could be an almighty swell, rough river. 

 

Latest Firth winds picking up again....

Can hear it roar round the buildings now, went outside 5 mins ago and although still not to bad there was some really violent micro-bursts of wind ripping through trees and edge of houses + window frames and eves creaking a bit now.

[Gazza H]

[Big Innes Madori]

Occassional gusts here now.

[BurntFishTrousers]

Aye, it's arrived noo.

[aggy]

62mph already at Prestwick airport

[101_North]

Wild outside! House must be at the perfect angle for this one. Not heard the wind roar like this for a while and we're not even started yet!

[Ceitidh]

A friend in Fortose has said it's all quiet there.  Suprised given how noisy it is here already with the wind through the trees. 

[snow..chance]

Must admit I'm popping in now and then to read reports, please stay safe all. Stay in stay safe sod the rest.

Flightradar is worth a watch too, already queues for Dublin and holding patterns, this flight from Iceland not keen on landing in Edi 5 minutes ago...
