Weather warnings for the next few days

[GloriaSmud]

issued by the metoffice for gales and rain.

Better get sil tosort the shed out up the field and tie it down so it doesnt blow in with the ponies again!

just miss them

I'm supposed to be taking DD round the Christmas Markets on Saturday. It's a yearly trip to have a girls day and spend her birthday money. I'm so not looking forward to it now!

Zzzzzzzzz dull, wet, windy, so mild. It was a novelty to have sun and frost for two days last weekend.

Its really windy here and stupidly mild for winter I'm South West.

'Tis a mild (11.8C), wet and windy evening here (Leicester) too. We're not covered by any weather warnings now but it's still looking blustery from tomorrow night and through Saturday.

I think (from my amateur glance at the weather charts) there are hints of something I bit more like winter from next weekend. 'Tis way off into the future when it comes to forecasting though.

Getting blustery here (beginning to regret putting our Christmas tree out by the front door as it's blown over several times. I've now weighted the stand down with bricks and used gaffer tape to stick several branches to the house wall!)

This storm has been named Storm Desmond by the metoffice. Looks like it has caused problems in Ireland already.

It's very windy here in the north east. I've taken my Christmas wreath off the door as I don't think it would've survived. Also had to lock the cat flap as it was banging so much. The cats are asleep on the sofa and haven't noticed.

Wind has been okay in Edinburgh. Don't think it's gone above 60mph gusts. But the rain is getting silly now and we've only got a yellow warning. Red warning for rain today and tomorrow for SW Scotland and NW England

Am really pleased my new winter wellies arrived 2 days early......

North Yorkshire (top right corner of the Dales national park) is flooded with horrendous wind!

IOM has been awful, record floods thursday night & we are now under a red weather warning (last one issued 2.5 years ago) for winds up to 85mph. Shitty weather we are used to but Desmond is causing havoc.

Any keen weather watchers might like to see the Manx police fb page. Normally is lists boring stuff but is useful during severe weather & links to all the latest forecasts www.facebook.com/Isle-of-Man-Constabulary-Media-Page-202507643116915/?fref=nf

My fence out the front is nearly down. My ten foot trampoline and enclosures upside down in a garden two down and then across from us! Bbqs blown over onto the grass. And my husband's away for work until the 18th. Such a pain in the arse. Stupid wind.

Why is this one (Desmond) going on for so long? All through yesterday evening and today, and wind not forecast to drop much here til about 10am tomorrow. Seems very unusual

lubey ~ I think it's just down to it being a slow moving system that's dumped a huge amount of rain on already saturated ground. After tonight, everything calms down fairly quickly tomorrow morning.

Appalling conditions in some parts of the country ~ BBC report and Guardian report here.

I am so sorry I havent been around. Ive been away with no internet access and i feel rubbish that i wasnt able to give a heads up at all.

more in the same region I'm afraid for tomorrow.
