Peak gusts expected around midnight  

[lottiekent]

Really howling outside now and strongest gusts not yet reached us. MO has updated to say 2am will be the peak now (for my location) before falling away rapidly. 

[SunSean]

Ferocious winds here knocking about now.

Will be another night of hoping the Tiki bar hasn't flown away during the early hours lol.

[If Wishes made Weather]

Wild night here.  I have either just seen a bit of lightning, or its some power line arcing.

[Donna3397]

It is windy here but I’ve heard it a lot

worse to be honest, does anyone know what time it’s due to hit here on the coast

[DJ Fart]

Seems to have died down here in north Essex.  Was definitely louder an hour or so ago.

[Lauren]

Saw a massive flash about hour ago but thought I imagined it but just seen a power line got taken out so that explains it

Looks like that's been downgraded/changed now.  Looks more like midnight for you.

[Uxbridge90]

Certainly not pleasant out there but fortunately looks like we've missed anything of note here in West London.

I'm due to be in Marlow, Bucks, tomorrow from north Essex, so I'm glad to hear it's not too bad out there.

[Jimmyh]

Wow defo windiest part of the evening here next to the bridge. Proper shaking gusts now

[ChillyJuju]

Woo hoo we just had a stonking Squall pass through here with heavy rain bashing the window along with racing winds. Now gone back to windy night with sounds of gusts.

[Sparky68]

Dodge the fallen branches on the commute this morning, still windy but nowhere near as bad as during the night.

[Snowangel-MK]

We seem to have survived Isha undamaged from what I can tell so far this morning, at least we still have a roof which is good news, hope everyone else is okay

[Jason T]

Well blow me old socks..that was a tad windy last night early hours.. power went off at 9.45 pm then on then off. Daylight will show the debris and any damage..Sheldon the shed still there. 

[Tom Montalbano]

A very good Morning, all.

I hope I find yourselves and your Families, well. 

Did you manage to get more sleep than I did, last Night? I sincerely hope so.

Isha really was making a racket with their Wind, overnight.

I can't remember starting a Weather related post, with a Meteociel chart, displaying recently recorded Wind speeds but I will on this occasion.

Below, are the recent Meteociel graphs displaying Wind Speed/Maximum Temp/Air Pressure, during the Overnight period recorded at nearby, London City Airport:

 /  / 

A very strong and gusty S.W. has been blowing all Night long which did drop out for a short while before a rather violent but temporary Squall/ came through S.E. London about 4.45.

After this Squall went through the temperature dropped back to 11C and the Air Pressure rose sharply to 1001 mbs after dipping to 998 mbs, in the early hours.

It was virtually impossible to sleep, with all the racket going on outside and Isha kept playing "knock down ginger" with our letter box.

I hope I get some sleep Tonight, as we look like doing it all again Tomorrow Night/Wednesday Morning.

Could we see the arrival of Jocelyn?:

In other Weather related news. the search for the next possible Wintry spell looks a forlorn one, at the moment.

The Purple Blob/ P.V. [Pernicious Victor] has taken up residency yet again, in the vicinity of Greenland 

And combined with -  - Barbara the Bartlett High /Eunice the Euro Slug,

It looks a long way back to cold and very little chance at present for - 

 

 - Greta the Greenland High, or  - Scandy  Mandy the Scandinavian High, to make an appearance.

But I'm sure some Member on the MAD Model Thread will cling on to the hope that the C.F.S. [Consistently Failed Synoptics] model will show us an Easterly come the end of March May, like so:

Isha did try and sound a bit melodic whilst keeping me awake though, by constantly "playing" with a neighbour's "Wind Chimes", and with that in mind, below is a tribute to melodic Storm Isha and "Song of the Wind":

Regards,

A very tired Tom Q.
