Same here. Feel like a fraud for staying off work and even contemplating going in right now?! 

The squeeze in the isobars on the southern flank of the low are still much further west .

So don’t be duped by this relative calm now .

45 mins into the red warning and calm as you like here.

That's odd. I'm in South East Essex and it's already 50 kph.

Everyone saying it’s not windy, its not peaked yet, give it a chance

It’s most definitely starting to gust storm force under my duvet. Other than that a gentle breeze between Southampton and Portsmouth

My untrained eye is seeing the low undergo some kind of change and development. It still is getting it’s ‘act together’ but expect things will take a turn for the worse quite quickly when it does.

Edit: Could be those areas out west may have a smaller window for the extreme weather while the development goes on. Quite how this will bode for central and eastern areas however as we may have a more powerful storm by then.

People acting like the storm is half way over the UK already

The wind has picked up here a lot now after the storm passed overhead.
Pressure bottomed out at 947.1 hPa, the temperature is dropping and the rain turning sleety.

well the storm working its magic here with the first snow in a year and absolutely hammering it down in intensity.

Well when you are an hour into a red warning and it just seems like a normal windy day it is confusing!

Hows it in Basingstoke? Not overly far from you and it is very very gusty here now... I think one gust that just went though was easily a top end 40s I fear the Thames Valley is going to act as one big wind tunnel!

Quite surreal here , 10 miles north of Valley where its blowing old boots,   perhaps touching F3 here,  nice crack of Thunder got me up at 0730 

[Beanz]

Quite stiff gusts here, not a gale yet though

Peak winds not even into Cornwall yet, there will be a rapid increase in winds followed by maybe 1-2hrs at peak. 

Peak for your location probably not till 10am, maybe even 11am.
