Looks like we are going to have the first storm of Autumn as secondary low sweeps across North Wales , North Midlands. As it clears eastward it brings a brief spells of winds gusting up to 60 mph across North Wales North midlands and east England and along the English channel.

Details will firm up tomorrow but one to watch out for you.

Thought we were going to be in the firing line for this but most forecasts now take the worst of the winds across the north.

Only just managed to reach 25mph today and that was with a wind warning across the southwest so not expecting much from this now.

Not even formed yet I believe. Also the met office naming is inconstant they have strong winds in nw Scotland in the past which didn't get named. One of the reasons given was there wasn't enough people living there so the impact was minimal.

Essentially its all about potential impact and raising awareness of risk with the general public

Not just those areas. Parts of North-West England looks in the firing line too with the bigger populations of Merseyside & Greater Manchester likely to have some decent strong gusts of 70mph+ in more exposed spots especially as winds move more to the W-NW funnelling wind off the Irish sea, these areas are under the Met Office advisory, as is pretty much all of Northern England.

Winds moved south and lessened until it leaves the uk so Norfolk could get a battering early tomorrow.

Looks like tonight's low has been designated Aileen, The first name storm of the autumn.  Might be worth renaming the thread. Didn't even know they've come up with a new list yet. I'm sure the first of this years tropical cyclones had a name like that as well.

 The first tropical storm in the series this year was Arlene.

MetOffice storm names for this year are: 

Aileen Brian Caroline Dylan Eleanor Fionn Georgina Hector Iona James Karen
Larry Maeve Niall Octavia Paul Rebecca Simon Tali Victor Winifred

 

Interesting to see the MO has issued an Amber Warning this morning. Seeing as trees are in full leaf I can understand why with the winds that are forecast.

Is it me or does this model love to over hype wind speeds.. AROME

KPH works to MPH like this:

10kph = 6mph

115kph = 71mph

I'm slap-bang in the middle of the Amber warning tonight, just wondering if it's worth heading up to the local reservoir at night that's westward facing and funnels the local winds into the valley. It's a relatively open area and I might get some of those stronger gusts that are expected for here.
