Met office weather warnings for heavy rain, severe gales and snow

[OhYouMerryLittleKitten]

Going to be an eventful few days. Have been discussing it in te Christmas weather thread but I think they need highlighting. met office warnings

stupid page 2. grrr.

Bright & sunny here in Lincolnshireland ...most bizarre given the rest of the country.

Cold & windy though so won't last I don't suppose.

Ahh it must be East from me then as have travelled it from Mere to Honiton and it's fine, barely a twig or puddle.

Ok, not forgetting the awfulness that Scotland is going to be going through over the next 24 hours, we still have some more weather coming. 06Z has come out.

Friday - Another rough storm for NI, scotland and perhaps northern England. so sorry guys. will also be pretty galeish along the south coast too I think.

Saturday - the north still suffers from the storm.

Sunday - generally ok but actually there is a tiny bit of a squeeze in isobars down the east coast that I'm looking at.

Monday - a low pressure could bring gales.

run out of brain cells. will try again later!

Snowing in Clitheroe! Very excited children, less excited parents

Due to travel back to Berkshire on Saturday late morning, is it worth attempting?

I know many have said it before, but THANK YOU merry little kitten

Thanks. We've set off on our Manchester to hants journey. Ok so far but not got to Birmingham yet.

I think you should be ok kate.

keepmoving you are really very welcome :)

setting off late morning is a good idea. Just take care for any fallen tree/flooding/landslip issues

Not loving these forecasts. Due to be flying to Belfast this afternoon and back on Friday afternoon. Going to be some scary flights I think, assuming we even get to go :(

Still worrying about our flight to belfast first thing Saturday :(

Blowy here but nothing out of the ordinary yet. We get gales here so often that they seem normal. It also means that anything in the garden has already survived all winter so will probably be okay unless we get an actual tornado. Won't rule it out

Wind here last night (Surrey) seemed way worse than the "storm" a few weeks back. Really howling around the house. Our fence is down, and it ripped a massive heavy wooden gate off the side of the house.

More importantly, we are due to get the Holyhead to Dublin ferry on Friday. I am fearing the worst.

It's snowing here in the mountains of North Wales but only a little

You might get some tomorrow Milly.

CV - I hope it goes for you ok.

Gatwick north terminal is horrific. Check today before you set off there.

kitten thank you for the info. Still undecided!

Oooo do you think so..... A white Christmas......magical.

DH is in the back garden, wrapping fairy lights around trees & bushes that are swaying in the wind.

Ever the optimist

updated warnings for friday interesting that the wind warnings are for the west.
Worried about the rain down here.

Well the re that smashed into the front of the house was less than a mile from here. Happened just after I was driving home alone an adjacent road worried would the state of the trees.

Friend called me yesterday stuck in traffic worried about trees. Passed that way today and she saw one down across the road where she was stuck.

Really makes you thankful.

No warnings for Edinburgh for Friday
Am getting pissed of with the pishness of the Met Office warning map now. Think the need to be able to come up with a clearer way of representing the areas and the hazards combined, on the map.

Hi everyone Sorry to see that there are many of you still going through it Calmer in North Essex now. Some rain. Odd bit of wind but nothing like last night.
Thanks for all your info Kitten.

You are really welcome :)

All calm in Deal now. We have been shopping. I have a friend near Gatwick who is totally flooded, and friends with no power still in East Kent. One friend's mum in Minnis Bay had a lucky escape when the garage got in the way of a 40 foot tree falling on to the house.

Its going to be a very stressful Christmas for some isnt it :(

It was really windy and wet here last night, but our area seems to have got off lightly .

It's been bright and chilly today, but the clouds are starting to roll in and they have a snowy look to them - not that I expect it here, but I think SIL in Glossop may wake up to some snow in the morning.
