Possibility of nasty storm Mon night/tuesday

[OhYouBadBadReindeer]

No met ofice warnings at the moment and the path of the storm is still uncertain, but at the moment I think there is potential for widespread severe gales - just unsure of where atm.

I'm in SE too. I just cracked the curtains open and quickly shut them again.

bit surprised TORRO havent issued a tornado watch, a very nifty squall line with some classic features is beginning to cross the country. Please report any particularly unusual or bad damage.

No damage in bucks this am. Lots of bins blown over though

South Coast here, blowing a hooley. Am very glad we went on the Brighton wheel yesterday afternoon and not today, t'is scarily windy.

Pressure dropping rapidly here atm with a 10hpa drop since midnight.

Howling here in Louth :(

Not surprised Sarah - hope you dont get too much damage.
Off to work in a few minutes. I wish it would get light. very, very dark...... but the wind is calmer for a little bit.

QE2 bridge closed.

Very stormy just south of Edinburgh. Difficult to guess by looking out of the window but it does sound/look as bad as anything we've had in the last few weeks.

Looking very nasty for southern Scotland this morning. Check before travelling (and avoid if you at all can)

They forgot us, we have no weather warnings at all.

It is so dark this morning.

bugger - got to drive up to Aviemore today. it sounds horrible out there. another bloody windy day......

All boats cancelled to and from Isle of Man. We have had a rotten time boat wise this winter.....nothing at all to do with poor planning by boat company of course !!

What a terrible day for the big return to work after the holidays. Very dangerous. Our schools going back tomorrow and very very glad DC's won't be getting the school bus this am.

Criteria for severe weather have quite defined boundaries so it could be that although it is very very windy in you area it doesnt quite qualify SarahS. If you click on your region then on latest/recent tab, you can get the nearest obs for your station. Or it could be the storm has developed features that the met office models didnt pick up on.

glad im not landing at edinburgh airport this morning!

ok, am off to work back this afternoon. Take care all.

Just before I go - Malin Head 106mph gusts. Storm force winds + expected across central belt of Scotland this am. Exceptionally nasty.

Woken up last night by the noise of the winds and just looked outside and our boundary fence has been swept away into next door's garden!

We are in north dorset.

W Fife here, and very very windy. Looks/sounds as bad as hurricane bawbag the other week. Not light enough for me to inspect for damage yet but I could hear slates rattling on the roof during the night. :-(

Raffi not sure you'll get to Aviemore today, blizzard conditions on A9 south of Aviemore but don't know if snow gates are shut or not though. (I am hoping for a skiing day on Monday so am obsessively checking snow reports...)

Central Scotland here - Im sure it's winder than Hurricane Bawbag!

Well I just brought the washing in (South Yorkshire) it had dried lovely yesterday and then due to some miscommunication between myself & DP it spent the night outside. It would be safe to say it is a bit Wizard of Oz-ish here. Very windy and wet, but oddly warm...

Glasgow centre here, there are roof tiles pissing off our building. Never seen anything like it.

Is windy and wet in north yorks. Is bin day and am amazed the bins haven't blown over and down the street . Am glad dc don't go back to school until tomorrow - will it have stopped by then?

Just outside stirling and it is wild! Car alarms set off. Our lights keep flickering. Can hear stuff being blown around though haven't had a good look yet.

Not going out for my run in that!
