Unusual to see such a widespread gale warning in June. Gusts to 70mph along parts of the south coast and parts of the Irish and Welsh coast. 50-60mph inland. I would expect to see trees down given they are in full leaf now.

We (as in our bit of the East Midlands) weren't covered by the warning earlier on but we are now ~ looks like it's going to be a windy and wet 24 hours.

our warning appeared at about 8.30 I was relieved to read the time when it appeared as I thought I was having a mad moment when I had not seen it earlier this morning. (first day back at school and all that)

not good when the trees are in full leaf.

Getting darker and the wind's getting up here (Leicester)
Huge splodge of rain showing up on raintoday.

That looks pretty potent! Still not had chance to secure my plants today - going to be a mad dash I think.

I'm in the southern section of NW England.Rural. Looks like we're in for it.
We're bound to get some trees down here, and they'll take some of the electricity cables with them, so I've got my power cut kit ready. It gets a lot of use where I live but I don't think I've needed it in bloody June before!

I've just put the football goal in the conservatory (it's a lightweight one that's held in by a couple of pegs) as I don't trust it not too take off!

The rain has started in West Yorkshire and the wind is picking up. We have some big trees behind us which are in full leaf, hope they don't come down, I must admit I am a bit worried!

Some wind speeds for the UK here.
It keeps clouding over, has an attempt at rain and then brightens up again here. At the moment we seem to be having a sunny spell.

Its been very windy here in Devon today. Looks like a day in January not June! Our summers are so rubbish!

Still attempting to rain here but only squally showers so far.
Low pressure system showing nicely here.

Really nice squall line developing. Looks like it will hit the NW hardest when it arrives later tonight. There is potential for an isolated tornado or two.

Still looking pretty nasty for the NW, less so for the south than it did this morning, but still pretty strong winds.

It has been generally windier I think. Nothing mad up until today, but still windy.

Ive been noticing how quickly my washing dries and how creaky my hanging basket is!

It does not sound like June out there. wind is moaning and things are blowing down the road.

It feels positively autumnal.

Everyone survive last night alright?

Yes fine

It's really blowy still ~ can hear the top part of a fence panel knocking against a fence post in the garden. Unfortunately it's right behind a rapidly growing buddleia bush so think that's a job for the autumn when the buddleia gets cut back a bit. Let's hope we don't get too many of these blustery days before then!

Have to add for all the blowiness, it's quite warm and humid though! ~ 21.8C
