Not due until later

10 miles from welsh coast here. So just on border of the red warning. Work in a supermarket. Been busy with everyone coming in before it gets scary.

Lots of Establishments already sent staff home, and are not opening tomorrow. Few costal roads shut in anticipation of high tides.

In Ireland

RubyRedBow · 06/12/2024 15:43

Last night was pretty rough, we had strong wind and rain but today it’s calm and dry.

England/South Wales border. Rain has started. No winds yet. We are right on the edge of the red warning here.

SusiSlippers · 06/12/2024 15:49

I’m near Cardiff. It’s raining at moment but calm. It’s been soo dark since yesterday. Weatherman says Storm Darragh will be hitting us later this evening. I’m staying put this weekend. Stay safe everyone.

CeeJay81 · 06/12/2024 15:49

@Sheknowsaboutme stay safe. It sure is going to be rough on the coast. My walk to work is barely 10 mins but I'll be asking for a lift tomorrow. Think the shop will be dead.

Jellykat · 06/12/2024 15:50

West Wales, 10 mins from coast, eerily quiet and warm this morning, rain and a bit of wind atm.. got Tesco delivery due at 9.00, hope he makes it across the Preseli's!

ohtowinthelottery · 06/12/2024 15:56

I'm in the W. Midlands. It's raining lightly and a slight breeze atm.

Extraspecial · 06/12/2024 15:59

I am on the South Wales coast in walking distance to the sea. It was horrendous here yesterday afternoon so not looking forward to tonight.

Same here, the calm before the storm.

ladymactíre · 06/12/2024 16:04

West Ireland. 14degrees, not cold at all, a bit windy. The air was unusually warm at 1, when I went to luch. It was dark and rained all day

OnTheBounce · 06/12/2024 16:08

It was rough here last night (Welsh borders) but now it's quiet and the dogs are standing outside in the garden, staring at me through the window, which is often a sign of incoming weather drama.

MrsMoastyToasty · 06/12/2024 16:13

I'm live east of Bristol and its raining but the wind hasn't picked up yet.
Local media is saying that the Bath Christmas Market (aka 50 sheds of shite) is cancelled tomorrow.

Oldraver · 06/12/2024 16:30

I'm in Wolverhampton and wondering if I'll need a rain mac. Going to a gig so hoping it won't be too bad

I've not stopped laughing about the 50 sheds of shite since I saw it mentioned a few weeks ago, and have told friends who think it funny. We went to Bristol and yes shite

Birmingham was a tad better

Crikeyalmighty · 06/12/2024 16:33

Lashing down in Bath - Xmas market has been called off tommorrow

Sheknowsaboutme · 06/12/2024 16:38

Just seen on Facebook that parks, libraries, leisure centres and recycling centers in the county are shut tomorrow 😨

I’m in the red warning zone, on the Preselis. It’s raining a lot here now and the wind is picking back up again.

Jellykat · 06/12/2024 16:43

Not far from me @Dromaeosauridae Smile

ChaosHol1 · 06/12/2024 16:46

The wind was worse here last night than it is now but it's pouring down and has been most of the day, south West Scotland.

OrangesCinammonIvy · 06/12/2024 16:49

@MrsMoastyToasty I remember a stunning stall at bath market run by a nun representative of nuns in Ukraine. They had stunning hand painted Russian dolls I regret not buying them.
But the rest of the market was a crush

😁 hope you get your shopping. It’s a beautiful place to live, but the winds are fierce here. And so much rain!

OrangesCinammonIvy · 06/12/2024 16:54

Near London all calm so far.

Would it be silly to drive around tomorrow? We are closer to London so 50 mp winds
