Please carry on discussing the current storm affecting the UK and future developments which may be heading for our shores. :)

Another very windy period coming up during tomorrow afternoon, look how strong the jet stream is!

Unbelievable, I had just woken up and was having browse at how thing were currently looking, I clicked on XC Weather then saw Malin Head reporting a westerly mean speed of 77mph gusting 105mph, I nearly spat my tea out!

Very severe day.

The driver of a single decker bus in Witley, Surrey,

was badly injured

when an oak tree came crashing down on the vehicle. I can't see how?? He is very lucky to be alive!

A report of a tornado has been made on Meridian Tonight Facebook page in Sidlesham, West Sussex. That's near me but I can't confirm it at this time. Anyone local got any info?

There really are some muppets out there, this one deserves a Darwin award! He should also be forced to pay the costs of the rescue imo.

That secondary circulation is now over Northern Ireland and Is clearly visible on rain today and XC weather. It seems to have quite a strong wind core.

Yes quite a potent feature, winds have increased again over Ireland with severe gales and gusts to around 55-70mph.

Just passed over me, big increase in wind with some heavy hail, winds going north westerly which I'm more exposed to than the SW so another rough night tonight by the looks of it

The small circulation is progged to lose intensity as it continues to track eastwards, still it'll increase the winds again but nothing to severe.

Taken from Weatheronlines updated forecast for tomorrow - Ermmmm.... :blink:

Wednesday Night
Even windier this evening and tonight as severe gales again develop across the country with wind gusts over 90mph in the west and 50-60mph inland. Spells of heavy rain push down across England and Wales but clears Scotland to showers, these wintry over high ground. Expect lows of 2 to 5C.

Funny old day breezy when I got up left for work at seven and hardly any wind at all at Sheffield University. Anyway just before nine a sudden series of gusts. Everyone then just opened up mywebsite too see what gust we got. Since then nothing special and the hail showers have been the talking point.
So peak gust 61 mph at 08:37
However plenty of action elsewhere and I'm now waiting for Wednesday night
