Got a flight from Heathrow at 11am on Monday, I guess winds of these speeds will cause issues and delays?

First time I have seen gusts of 140-150 Km/hr in the Channel.

Yeah, saw that and hi res Met O has130-140 kmph gustsover here which is up to around 90 mph gusts
If that transpires there will be a lot of trees down, port of Dover closed, operation stack and sadly a few injuries or worse from flying debris.
It is a massive blow but I will not be surprised if it is Overcooked by the models.
Going to lock this one shortly - please post in the new storm thread - thanks
The Estofex experimental gust chart shows up to 45 m/s gusts in the channel, thats 100 mph.
