Hi Paul

[Thunderstruck]

Don’t want to speak too soon but it feels like it’s possibly starting to slow down a bit…?

I’m aware the red warning is in place until 3 so it may just be a brief lull

[Freeman]

What's the latest on the potential sting jet?

Winds are still strong, but we seem to have hit a bit of a lull here. The gusts are not as frequent as they were 20/30mins ago. 

Also seem to have had a small lull, but it's come back strong.

Wow! How was that measured..?

There's a small weather station with an anemometer at the top of the tower.

[Chris.R]

Some really strong gusts now with quite a sustained wind roaring around.

[Frostbite1980]

Don't be fooled by a lull the further east you are as the winds whip around the back of the storm as it moves into the north sea there could be some significant gusts.

Quick question, so far not had much here other than a few blustery showers( between Derby, Burton and Ashby de la zouch)

Is the worst over for this area, or is it still on the way?

I’m in Burton it’s starting to pick up a bit now. The peak was meant to be 3pm I think.

[Man With Beard]

So finally plucked up the courage to check my roof. I have up to 10 tiles that seem to have moved, although not completely dislodged. Really need the storm to ease up before they go! Not quite as bad as earlier, but still gusting to 70mph at times, I would guess.

[Nick L]

Probably the most exciting weather event since the Beast from the East, spot on to forecast too. Worst is just clearing here now, thankfully no damage.

[Josh Rubio]

Seems like a total non event here in the Midlands. Just seems like a regular windy day? 

[sidders54]

Winds have certainly decreased here but still blustery. Hopefully the worst has passed. So many power cuts in the region though

[Harry]

Winds seemed to decrease between 12:30 and 13:00, but they're roaring again now!!

Trees down nearby, had a huge piece of guttering blow in, but no idea where from. And a huge brick wall has crashed down at my parents' house.  Definitely worth the red warning in my view.

Winds swinging now as Storm moves away NE. Winds will pick up significantly

[Snowy L]

Picked up in the last half hour now 50-60mph.

[birdman]

Sorry if already posted but RAF Brize Norton hanger roof ripped off! I live a few miles away and it's still pretty wild here! 

 

[Man With Beard]

Peoples in E Midlands and E Anglia, any signs of a sting jet?

[Polar Maritime]

Gales rawing here now, winds have really picked up with showers turning wintry

I'm also in LB Bexley. 

It's gusty but probably not been quite as bad as I expected, and the forecast has things getting slightly better from now.

[Bristawl Si]

Midday recordings at Meto station, Almondsbury

56mph gust

32mph sustained

So, same as at 11.00

[Weather Enthusiast91]

It really is roaring out there and I am loving it!

As has often been the case just lately, we get weeks of benign and cloudy tedium then Mother Nature returns with a vengeance.

Nothing yet. Barely noticed much here at all, it's very strange. I'm hoping it stays like this, but still a lot of the day left. Currently in Long Eaton, on the Derbyshire/Notts border.

[Atmogenic]

Winds seem to be calming down a bit now, doesn’t seem as strong as they were when i started my walk

Meanwhile in another part of the Midlands! Trees down all over IMBY. At least four Worcestershire A roads reported to be wholly or partly blocked by fallen trees just in the last 45 minutes. Many years since it's been this bad.

Edit: make that five!

Same here, just a very Windy day so far. 
Everyone carrying on as normal and traffic still the same. 
Is it suppose to get any worse here?
