I can't quite read it, but 28 inches of Mercury is 950mb.

 

I suspect this is around 948mb.

Thanks very much. Really low then. Still a long way to go yet so hope we all get some wild weather from a viewing perspective but obviously not so anyone is hurt by it.

My old fashioned barometer inherited from my grandparents via my mum. Never seen it as low. No idea what the actual pressure is mind since I’m not sure how to read it correctly. Not particularly windy here. Bit of a disappointment thus far

It's Mercury inches. 27.9 is approx 945. Lovely looking old device and functional too!

A cynic would say this sort of thing is Conditioning us to forcibly change our behaviour (ie staying at home to look after school kids rather than work) due to edicts related to a statistically unremarkable weather events. A precursor eventually to climate lockdowns I would suggest. Predicated by the usual Agenda 21/WEF powers and Climate Change movement and enforced by government and those in their pay.

Not much to report here - had a very heavy shower at some point in the night that hammered the windows and woke me up briefly.

 

That footage of a night time tornado in Jersey complete with power flashes/lightning is wild - thats not something I've seen from the UK before! Hope everyone down there is safe.

Wind is picking up in Exeter and the rain

Thanks. Yes it’s always worked. Not sure of it’s age. At a guess 1920’s/30’s going by it’s look though a completed guess.

50mph gusts are predicted for here looking at some weather sites which is a huge jump down from the 70mph we were predicted to get, has it gone further south overnight?

[Summer tyre]

Here right now

Well it's slightly chaotic down here.

Plymouth flooding everywhere.

A379 shut at Modbury landslip

Issues on A38 /A30/A383 , concerns on A386 between Bideford and Torrington.

Now issues in Lympstone,  Moretonhampstead.

No trains past Plymouth and most branch lines closed.

Exactly, as usual our local infrastructure suffers disproportionately when bad weather hits. There aren't many alternatives when roads like the A379 get shut! Lanes will be busy

Met Office has updated the amber wind warning for SE England - it is to be lifted earlier. Is this because the Low pressure is further south than expected and the strongest winds are now also further south. Wind gusts have calmed a bit here as the centre gets closer.

Remember when every time we were under a big area of high pressure Michael Fish and co would tell us it was a good day to set the barometer!

[CurtisOliver]

It’s absolutely tipping it down In Hornchurch. So far wind hasn’t been a real concern but the rain is. I’m now waiting for the wind to join

I think that you need to step outside and let the wind blow off your tin foil hat ...........

Pressure just starting to rise again now - 957mb.

Blue sky and sunshine at the moment. 

[miguel-albert]

What are the winds like on the other side of the centre as it is sunny in Brighton for the moment but I think it's going to change again! 

[ANYWEATHER]

The storm is now starting to ease, still blowy across Cornwall and Devon for a few hours this morning and across the coastline of Kent and Sussex, but that’s it Folks , Storms a gonna!

Heaven forbid the authorities try to act on the basis of advice received. You'd be the first to scream blue murder if the unthinkable happened. Just because your own back yard is fine does not mean everywhere else is. Stop making yourself look silly and actually have some consideration for the wider picture.

I’m very happy to make my own decisions based on fact at the ‘right’ time, ie can my children go to school this am. Yes! Not using data that was based on weather models well over 36 hours ago. Ps. I didn’t scream in 1987 or cry when I walked in a snow drift. Happy Thursday all. Do take care as life is full of risks  

[Biggin]

S London here not much going on little wind lights flickering and thats about it

For Northern France and Channel Islands it hasn’t been but for most it’s been a huge letdown from a weather perspective. Pleased in some ways but disappointed in other respects. 

[clark3r]

Amber removed for me! Guess that’s the best of the storm over! Nothing unusual
