Atlantic Storm #2 Barney

[Liam J]

12z GFS gust charts, at 15:00 you can see the strongest winds affecting SW Ireland as we have been seeing on the latest obvs, by 18:00 the strongest winds will be affecting Wales then quickly on into Central England and by 21:00 affecting more eastern areas & East Anglia before moving out into the North Sea.

GFS 12z is almost identical to 06z as sub has posted...

 

Netweather high res 06z has this...

 

 

Really models now are a guidance, it will all be down to local obvs

areas inland coud hit 70mph  im sure people on the coasts etc have seen worse  but inland 70mph  is a bit brisk

My cats are looking a little unsettled right now. All three in the lounge staring at the window as the wind gusts outside.

Just had 41.4 here in Barnsley South Yorks.

[Evening thunder]

Quite gusty here, not long ago had a gust of 40mph amongst otherwise 25-30mph gusts on my station (37mph earlier on too). Just about the highest recorded since the end of March (we are in a valley so not the most exposed location) but nothing too unusual of course, windy rather than stormy.

71mph gust @ Mumbles head Wales - http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

[Snowyowl9]

The little stinger coming later,it`ll last about 3/4 hours.

[ChezWeather]

Really picking up here, a shame that i dont have an anemometer and Chesterfield sits in a stationless void on XCWeather 

[Ǝssex Ǝasterly]

If you roll back the radar, over the NW of England, the precipitation has actually got heavier as it's hit the north sea :O

[William Grimsley]

Apparently, the nearby valley gets higher wind gust than hills today. Seems to be a lot of funnelling effects in valleys which could cause problems further north in more sheltered areas. Top gust here of 34 mph so far, expecting a bit higher later.

[Mokidugway]

Heavy blustery showers now ...

[The PIT]

Picking up here max gust 51 mph so nothing out standing yet

[Summer Sun]

Mace Head has recorded a gust of 77mph

[BornFromTheVoid]

Wild conditions here, with a bit of damage about. Shannon airport has had a gust of 79mph, with gusts inland in Ireland of 70mph quite widespread at the 16:00 update here http://www.met.ie/latest/reports.asp

77mph now in Mace head

[Rob Walker]

Erm....

 

convective showers.jpg

 

Estofax picked up on some potent showers forming these will aid increased convective wind gusts.. 

 

 

i was just under one of those squal lines in wiltshire ... i have never in my life of all of my 44 years seen rain like that ...i think my soul is soaked also it was that heavy and strong ..epic .

Just saw this thread while i was checking the forecast for Salisbury, thought i'd sign up to comment on these... Definately has got a lot windier already near salisbury in Wiltshire than I would have expected!

But in particular that squall line earlier!  had some pretty notable gusts associated with it, in fact I'm commenting because that one gust just before the downpour already claimed a fence panel (it was a bit loose in one corner) but still took it clean out leaning onto the neighbours car (lucky its not my fence!). I don't know what the local wind speed was but i certainly heard that gust coming!

First ceiling creak of the night here in Benfleet, Essex!

[AdamStorm7891]

Evening folks just thought I'd drop in, well the purple dinosaur storm has arrived lol  The rain here earlier was torrential for awhile particularly between about 12.30 - 1pm, winds began picking up between 3 and 4pm now quite strong and gusty in the 35-40mph region I'd say at a guess. Not quite sure what to expect later on here but I wouldn't be surprised to see a few gusts into the 50's at least, I'd be very surprised if we get anything over 60mph though!

[William Grimsley]

Seem to be having some strong gusts but also some quite long lulls. Right now, this is nothing more than an ordinary windy westerly down here in Devon.

Same here in Essex, occasional 35-40mph gusts but then like 5 to 10 minute lulls in between. I still think the strongest of the winds are a few hours away though.
