I can see a little blue sky coming from the West

So it does.. ie....show pretty colours...:D I've now had time to look at the column on the left side to see various aspects..rain..pressure..thunderstorms.. Yes, it's very good. For some reason those categories worked ok then stopped.

I've been looking for live webcams around the coast in the south and south west and most are offline which happens during bad weather.I like doing it during thunderstorms in the summer to see lightning over the Channel. Along the south coast there are quite a few..Hastings comes to mind and I've just looked at that . Cars have headlights on.Looks really murky. I saw this on a few others and thought it was from earlier before it was properly light but it's live https://www.beaming.co.uk/hastings-coastal-webcam/

Gentlemen. :) As you see from wind map it hasn't yet reached you but be patient ..it will.

Lee. For Bristol tomorrow.

Wind speeds will then pick up again between 12pm and 9pm on Saturday, with highs of 42mph gusts. In Avonmouth, where the brunt of the storm looks set to hit hardest, wind gusts will jump from 50mph to 60mph between 8am and 9am, before soaring to 64mph between 10am and 12pm, when they will begin to fall.

Well, that makes no sense....

The first sentence says the wind will pick up after 12pm and the last sentence says winds will begin to fall after 12pm.......

It was initially reported to start early hours this morning. That's why a lot of our group we were with wanted to leave Centre Parcs late last night rather than be driving in it this morning.

Clear blue sky here now, a bit of a stiff breeze though.

It's been a bit temperamental the last couple of days TBH.
Do you think the weather maybe affecting it?
:D

So it does. I've tried to find another report. The normal forecast does show an increase in windspeed after 12 noon from 12 mph at 0600 and 21 mph at noon.

I appreciate I have a tendency go in for detail ..more than most..but I'd never have written it like that.

I 'ates computers, I do..:D I must put the kaibosh on websites. I've just been trying to sort out Lee's problem with the Bristol forecast and each time I start reading through to get to Saturtday the darned ads push the text out of my line of sight. The webcamns are worst. The heading is..eg..Live webcam.. wherever and all you get views from summer days and adverts to go and see the place. It's a con :)

I wasn't having a dig at you or your quotes ;)

Just found it funny :)

It is starting to pick up a bit here now. I'm planning on staying in anyway I think aside from dropping the kids back home at some point when they wake up..... :rolleyes: :ROFLMAO:
 
9:26 here in South Wales. I live on the coast, literally on the coast! It's picking up here! Earlier we had blue skies with fast moving clouds, crazy to see how quick they were going but now the sky is pretty dark and grey!
 
It's blustery here near Portsmouth but nothing severe yet.
I'll probably head off to Hayling island at around midday.#

The Hasselblads can stay in the warm today as I still don't have a proper hat.

No drama on the bike this morning. Yes it was blowy, but I think 220kg and plenty of power helps.

220Kg - that’s a lightweight :D

Fingers crossed the worst has passed by the time you come to do the ride home!

Not even a light breeze here in North Manchester, yet!

Same in West Yorkshire - due to get here lunchtime/early afternoon according to the forecasts…….
 
Just seen one side of the summer house roof go into next door's garden .One section has been blown over three gardens out to the front and onto the road and when I went to retrieve it..don't want it damaging passing cars..I also picked up a large BBQ or patio cover .Goodness knows who that belongs to.

The wind gusts sounds like thunder..really bad. The postie's just been :rolleyes:

A417 Gloucester to Cirencester just closed.

Here's why this storm is so dangerous. The Sting Jet.

news.sky.com

What is a sting jet? The weather phenomenon that could make Storm Eunice deadly

A sting jet refers to a small area of extremely intense wind that can form inside storms passing across the UK, Ireland and parts of Europe. Although rare, it could occur when Storm Eunice hits on Friday.

Bit blowy from 04:00 or so and persisted down (well, across!) for a couple of hours but the wind's dropped for the time being. Luckily, it was rubbish bin day on Tuesday and we haven't put anything in the big bin since so we laid it down with a bungee holding the lid shut. Roof and fences seem intact.
 
Just starting to pick up here in Essex and I have already lost the felt off my new shed roof. The next one will be bonded rather than tacked I think!
 
just got back in from high tide ,winds still picking up but I've seen it a lot worse . few waders flying around at 500mph . the dee estuary looks extremely full all now depends on whether theres a surge behind it .
 
Phew! I just got back in from walking the dog - what a ride. :runaway:

I was almost attacked by a low-flying wheelie-bin, but the dog saw it off.

This is a day when pilots really earn their crust. Most runways in this country are aligned 090/270 degrees, ie east/west, and the winds are almost exactly 90 degrees from that. Gusting. You pretty much have to hand-fly those conditions in an approach. We really need crosswind runways in these conditions.

They certainly earn their money in these conditions.


So far the winds have tipped ( back forwards) over a slatted 4 foot garden bench that is end on to the wind :thinking:
And pushed over my bird feeder pole
 
Well it's been a complete non event in the south.
I've see a wheelie bin lid blown open and a couple bits of tree in the road.
Other than that, business as usual.

This is marked in my diary as the great breeze of 2022.:rolleyes:

I’ve put a polycarbonate roof on my shed. 3 ply poly, screwed onto rafters. Lots of daylight all year, and never needed replacement. Been installed over 6 years now :)
 
It looks to me (from the Windy display) that it hasn't really moved inland apart from Cornwall and Devon, but it does look like it is pulling in other depressions from the northern and western atlantic, so it could be a wet and windy week ahead
 
My next door neighbour's very large trampoline is running the pre-flight check list as I type!
At least it shouldn't come this way when it finally gets airborne....
 
We've lost the cover off of the patio table that was held down with bungees - it ripped into two pieces, and we are 3 fence panels down so far. I'm on the Wilts/Dorset/Somerset borders, at about 120m ASL.
 
Gusts of 122mph recorded at the needles lighthouse on the Isle of Wight! :eek:

To put that into context, in the south of the UK we tend to design buildings to a 1 in 50 year storm with a basic wind speed of 21m/s, which is roughly 47mph.
