I checked charts there saying 75 😱 if it's shifts north I'm doomed 

I think you’ll be ok and fair better than us on the south coast

Can now clearly see the eye of Storm Ciaran.

Will make it's tracking a lot easier from now on

Especially when tucking into a bag of hula hoops….just a little fun 😋

It must be doing some sort of interpolation though - I thought GFS only has 3-hourly? I think nullschool also brings in other data. I've tried to research it though and it does seem a bit opaque exactly how it works.

Now that I'm not sure of! It does say "GFS / NCEP / US National Weather Service" when you're in the wind overlay to be fair, not just GFS. But I had always assumed the actual wind map (rather than the over animations it can overlay) was GFS. The source code is available so maybe it would be possible to see exactly what it does.

Adding yet another Meteociel chart worth tracking - live wind gust obs.

image.thumb.png.a1e8c231257a02b5c78093c7fa201ade.png

91 km/h or 57mph the highest so far.

Given that uncertainty, I'm going to switch to using Meteociel for live obs tracking!

Someone please tell me 🙂

145 km/hr around 0600-0900, assume any trees in vicinity could fall in SSW to NNE direction, park vehicles with that in mind, also loose objects and roof tiles would hurtle in SW to NE path, assess parking accordingly. Would urge any residents of southeast to follow same protocol, save yourself damage to cars etc, you have a few hours before peak gusts will hit late overnight. I am not saying every tree will fall, but some are sure to do so and you can predict to some extent where they will reach ground, a fairly safe place to park outside is on north to east side of a sturdy building, or in a lower spot well away from trees or potential sources of flying debris. Just go to your parked car, look south to southwest, ask yourself, is there a tree that could fall on it? If so, move it.

Oh heck yes we were driving home from Newquay last week in full daylight in worse driving conditions than that.

The wind in mid Cornwall has now dropped like a rock. Absolutely flat calm. I wonder if that bad lad is making better time than predicted, and he'll be here before the early hours?

Is it me, or is that beginning to develop a banded cloud head?

Don't know but my lamp post is already swaying in the gusts which seem to get slightly stronger in each cycle.

Latest Sat IR,

If you notice on the West/South West side of the centre, it looks like it is developing into fingers (banded cloud head) which is indicative and characteristic of sting jet formation. Not quite clear enough to call, yet - but worth keeping an eye on!

it's quite compelling to watch, especially for me who has been to Guernsey a few times but a bit of me also thinks a bit reckless.

 

 

They are tongue in cheek, but I hope they know the danger...

Thirded.

All the kids at son's school have also been acting even more peculiar than is customary too. Always here for peculiar but currently taking odd to new levels of odd.

That's quite extraordinary. Just looked up the tide times, and the high isn't until 1am if I'm looking at the right thing!

Doesn't look like they've bothered with any sandbags either

Is it, cause I think I'm seeing things in the east, thought it said 66 for here, having another look.

Are we saying that this storm could be worse than the one in Feb 2020?

 

I mean, that was WILD and I've never experienced wind like that before.

That’s not good at all, that would coincide with the storm tracking through that area at its strongest I think, it pains me to say that that sounds like a full on emergency with potential loss of life, surely they must be or are considering evacuation due to the height of the storm surge?

 

my thoughts go out to those poor people tonight

76km/h at Langdon Bay is the highest your way, unless I've missed one that's higher. The map is in km/h.
