Has the storm hit your area yet?

Hay...

Listening to the wind just starting to pick up here in Suffolk.

Is it bad where you are?

Been raining here since 3.30 N.I. and the wind has picked up but not too strongly. Probably get worse by tomorrow.
Earlier this evening the Sealink ferry had to wait for a tug boat to bring it into dock because of bad conditions.

Teesside (north east) is very windy, rain has started too.

NE coast, really quite strong and raining. Started picking up about 5ish (no rain then though, that's not long started)

Near Glasgow airport. Earlier around 7pm it was windy enough to cause some planes to abandon landing and go round again for another go. Some took two attempts. The big Emirates plane has had to detour to Manchester after two aborted attempts, where it parked up for three hours before flying finally into Glasgow half an hour ago.

Live at the top of a hill terraced street, about 20 neighbours haven't secured their bins and there all now migrating down to the main road at the bottom. Should be fun in the morning.

Yorkshire and getting worse here. Stay safe everyone.

Have a look here, the wind distribution isn't the same in all areas this may well explain the odd results.

The main event is around midday tomorrow its reckoned to be 70 plus with gusts up to 80 or 90, that is scary!!!

Also in Devon and wondering about the dawlish line.

Midlands here - wind is just starting to pick up, making the dog bark . Light rain and mildish. It's meant to be heavy rain and gales tomorrow but seems to be starting early.

I posted 20 mins ago that it was not too windy here, but it's definitely picking up strength now...

Yes but in Scotland- just feels like it's a bit windy/rainy. Wouldn't say it's storm like as such.

Was a bit windy earlier but not too bad now, weather app days only 10mph winds now, think they were 50mph+ earlier. West coast Scotland.

Yorkshire coast and it's getting quite windy, not raining yet though.

In the peaks and just tied the bins to the shed and topped them with compost bags, after clearing up rubbish for the 4th time. Kinda terrified for the windows if the bungee cord goes 😅

Wind is definitely fierce off the hills but not too much rain yet.

Well, my recycling bins just went for a bit of a drift down the road in North Essex.

gusts of 50mph and chucking it down on the coast in NW Lancashire. We've only just reroofed the shed two days ago, hoping the new one will still be on tomorrow....

Ah, yes, please everyone bring any little furry friends in if you can !!

Storm Ciara has definitely hit rural Cumbria with torrential rain and gale force winds. We live in an old farm house; the winds and rain are absolutely battering us. It's been horrendous for a few hours now and the kids couldn't settle so ended up in our bed. Thankfully DH's snoring is loud enough to drown out mating walruses, so the kids are sound asleep now

We're a hardy lot 'oop here and very used to inclement weather, but I'd hate to be travelling now.

Getting a bit lively in Lincolnshire (not a sentence I get to write very often),

Nope, a bit of rain and that's all, typical scottish weather, nothing new.

Starting to pick up in Staffordshire. Stay safe everyone

Bit windy in Brighton. My bamboo is doing the dance.

Windy a/f in mid Wales

Central (North) London here.

Very quiet and calm.

For the moment!!!

North East Scotland right on the coast - absolute silence at the moment. Not due here until tomorrow morning.
