Storm Ciarán

Whenever it's really windy my pessimistic brain thinks my roof will go. Despite being a fairly well built new build. My positive brain then goes "but it's rare, even in the worse cases, only a few rooves in an area actually go."

Then you look at videos from Jersey etc and realise that we've really dodged a bullet here.

Waves in Folkestone are mad.

More from the Jersey tornado.

Absolutely, all it needed was a shift northwards, of less than 100 miles. Definitely got away with 1.

A handful of pics from around the island of Jersey as Storm Ciaran finally starts to lose its grip ...

[Metwatch]

Cornwall still got a lashing during early morning.

[Downburst]

Some extraordinary gusts at 08:00 northern France. 62 mph is 100km

And how about a 21.1 or near 70 foot wave, about twice the size of a large two story house

I'm assuming Pointe du Raz is a very exposed location, especially as it's one of the few in that first list that doesn't have "Record absolu" next to the gust... but even so, 207 km/h is 129 mph. I'm going off memory, but I think that would be an all-time record for England if it happened here. It's indeed extraordinary.

Wow, is that a Martello towner? Napoleonic defence, lots of them on the coast in Ireland, certainly built to withstand the weather.

Yes indeed 

[Thunderspotter]

Over here the gusts are barely worth considering a storm. It's just a breezy day, nothing out of the ordinary. Didn't even get to see the storms in the channel before they died out!

I've got a feeling a lot of people are going to complain about the inaccuracies of the Met or other services... Imo they did a good job as mentioned a few hours ago. The warning impact matrix was more or less bang on.

56mph average wind speed at Portland at the moment. Crazy. Just 13mph here.

You'll need to adjust your relative pressure, as that's too low. The system bottomed out at 953.5 along the south coast 

It's from a relatively low cost digital weather station with a sensor that sits outside - tbf if it's a couple of mbars off, it's no biggie

[WeatherArc]

Just seen this,  holy s**t 

High 3cape, strong shear and windprofile, good cape. I cant wrap my head around it, in November of all months. 

[Metwatch]

2 very deep lows surround the UK, but with differing amounts of cloud, looks rather neat!

Ciarain seems to have sucked all the water vapour available into it. Let's hope that has a knock on effect

Would those two storms merge because they are closed to each other?

Low pressure doesn’t merge together!

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.

 

Are you actually in the right forum?

What a load of rubbish.

Actually if you have a look at it , it’s part of the same storm system or low pressure system which is the name of this thread! It’s formed a secondary low with its circulation.

The variations in wind speed between coastal kent and a few miles inland are pretty steep too.

Not really no, the smaller low next to Ireland gets absorbed within the flow of the main low. You can sometimes get the Fujiwhara effect, (interesting to read about it with a search on google) with 2 cyclones interacting each other, don't think that's happening with the lows around the UK, I don't think so anyway.
