Whats the weather like near you?

[lux]

 
See theres a new red area now in the SE and saying could be mill0ins of trees down?
 

At the moment it’s looking like the opposite of a Michael fish …
Bit of rain and some strong gusts but certainly no storm in the SE red zone.
Main winds supposed to start about 10 am so I won’t say it’s not going to happen but so far this morning the forecast has not been accurate

I suppose it's just very hard to get this sort of weather right - certainly there are some vicious gusts - last night it was saying 80mph now but seems less now.

"Perranporth just gusted 105mph & Tintagel 95mph"

And large variation between forecasts.

Bit of an anticlimax so far …

They seem to overegg it a bit since ‘87.

 

I think folks would rather be told their roof will blow off and it not happen than the other way round.

 

The fact that it might get a bit windy in London seems to be the thing that’s driving the media frenzy.

Anyway, I’m off to the coast to stand near the edge of a pier to film some massive waves to put on my social media.

Essential journey.

Yep - best to be more on the safe side. It is proper windy now - couple people now struggling to walk outside and I wouldn't like to go out in it.
