Weather warnings part 2 - will they fade away, or is bad weather set to remain?

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

new thread. other one full.

to summarise the situation:

Tonight tomorrow: Heavy rain overnight and gales/severe off southern and western headlands through tonight into tomorrow. Could be more tidal flooding tomorrow in the SW again. Tomorrow, heavy squally showers, merging to heavy rain in the south, maybe hail and thunder. Potential for more trees to come down.

Thursday. Concerning amounts of rain fall in the south possible but its uncertain, models arent handling it very well. Perhaps snow on the northern edge.

Friday/saturday - rinse and repeat of tonights storm.

The south easterly is coming up here with another spring high at about 8pm.

I am scared for our business. We have property on the seafront.

Thanks OYBBK - yes, it's physically & emotionally draining, my friend is //

Hester - the tension must be extraordinary, I really feel for you.

Chipping - your friend really shouldnt be having to go through that. Its not right when it is a preventable issue. Has she the strength to talk to the local paper about it?

87mph and now the power has gone. No gas here.

I'm SO OVER storms.

Stay safe, Hester & anyone else who the storms are really hitting.

Oh no hester we only have electric too it's such an arse when the power goes out. Hope you all stay safe.

bloody hell hester - that has ramped up quickly! Hope your power comes back soon.

where did you get that figure from Hester?

OYBBK I'm on the Sussex coast and the local met office forecast seems to be showing 99mph gusts for tomorrow. Do you think they actually mean that?

I think that must have gone wrong Helena, you would be on an amber alert (with potential red later) were that expected to be the case. You may see 70-80mph I think which is bad enough.

Looking at southern england and east anglia gusts could be up around 60mph inland.

oh yes, I see the 87mph figure now at Lands End. I hope you are doing ok Hester.

SW could see 80mph winds again tomorrow too I'm afraid.

Well we have no central heating, that's nice. I think there has been so much debris and water blown back down the flue it's just given up. Thank goodness we have toasty warm whippets to cuddle .

Helena that's grim, hope they get the electricity back soon.

It's blowing dogs off chains here in the Tamar valley. DH likes to think he's getting a flight to London tomorrow from Newquay. Dream on sunshine!

oh dear Lost! I think it was a matter of time though with the amount of sogginess its had to put up with. Hope it dries out for you soon.

Feel like a fraud here at the moment, its really not started at all where i am. I need a good nights sleep so I expect it will start up as I go to bed.

Blowing a hooley down here - outskirts of Brighton.

Pretty windy here oybbk. Picking up anyway.

SO bloody windy here (Dorset coast) that I've had to come upstairs - broken catflap is blowing the gale into the living room.

All I can hear is wind and stuff flying about in the street.

Really, really windy here on east side of Plymouth - bins already gone over once and as soon as I moved them back they were over again. The wind seems more evident than in earlier storms but perhaps thats because of the wind direction. Ds2 hates the sound of the wind so quite expecting him to be up in the night if this carries on!! Will have a look at the met office obs but this def. feels as bad as the storm on 23 Dec.

Waves at makinglists from Saltash.

The bridges are singing tonight!

Very noisy here in Dorset and very wet.

We've had wind speeds of up to 69mph here in west Wales according to the local weather station .

Local weather station is MOD (or whatever they call it this week) so probably quite accurate too.

Hester i hope your power comes back soon :(

At the moment we have gusts up to 70mph, storm force 11 in guernsey, roads closed, flooding started and the whole island has been told to stay in unless the journey is necessary. all thats left to go is the power :|
