Another very stormy night. Wind speeds peaked at 76.7mph around 22:50 although we saw some very wind speeds (not gusts) of storm force 10 or above 60mph. It was also damp with some rain though nothing to bad, about 10mm here. Now, it is failrly calm, dry and mild. Storm number 2 sets in later tonight. High wind warnings remain in force on the A87 Skye Bridge, and unlike last night we are blessed with a yellow Met Office gale warning for tonights event (thanks to it being a bit more widespread).

Take care folks.

Totally missed this - thanks 

Like you I look forward to the extreme weather, but there is a point that extreme becomes dangerous and scary. I guess we are lucky in that wind speeds have to be comparatively higher here to cause damage, there is less stuff to blow about and people are more prepared (no loose trampolines round here) 

Wet and breezy just now. Very mild.

Heavy rain 8c

Rain and strong winds have gone, but so has my electricity.  Reminds me off Christmas Eve 97 though winds were worse then.

Heavy rain.

Evening all, it has gradually become windier over the last few hours. Five minutes ago a severe squall of rain/hail and wind swept down thru Burnley. It was like a wall of mist covering the street but at speed. timing as of two week ago regarding peoples recycle day (thur) the shut is flyingall over the place

Cheers Paul S.

Two squall lines in one evening Very wet here.
