Autumn Gales

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

Met office warnings

Nothing exceptional, but it is early and trees are in full leaf so are vulnerable. 3 days of strong winds in various places coming up. Tomorrow night into Wednesday we could see gusts to 70mph across northern Wales and northern England. It could be pretty disruptive.

Thanks for the update OYBBK, always appreciated! We're driving to Cornwall on Friday evening, so keeping an eye on this one.

It still looks as if the worst will be confined to the SW. Not much comfort for you SeaLions!

met office warnings for the SW and along the south coast, gusts to 70mph in exposed areas, 50mph inland. So peak gusts a bit higher than I suggested.

bit early for a galloping reindeer... (shape of weather warning)

I saw the reindeer weather warning earlier :)

Any of the Cornish Contingent around? We're in for some interesting weather this weekend. And today is super wet and gloomy!

The reindeer got fatter!

Will London see much of the wind saturday do you think OYBBK?

nothing too drastic, gusting to 40-50mph I reckon.

Doesn't sound too bad.

Thanks, OhYouBadBadKitten

Wet, gloomy and windy here, collie.

Although I think the wind might have died down a bit.

still on track for a fairly stormy day tomorrow. Poor Ireland, they’ve not had chance to recover before Brian arrives. Gusts to 70mph on exposed southern coasts of England and Ireland and 50mph inland.

Spring tide this time too, which won't help.

no, lots of warnings about staying away from the coast,

Here Colliebbs.

My older dc are meant to be at an outdoor scouting event from tomorrow morning until Sunday. So far it’s not cancelled!

It looks like we will be entering the opposite of Autumn gales as we get into November, with GFS showing high pressure in charge. Looking quite chilly and perhaps foggy for many.

In our local news it said we were likely to have 13 named storms this autumn / winter. Hoping it's just mindless clickbait

That was the Express Headline today. I rolled my eyes when I walked passed it.

wasn't the Express reporting months and months of snow a few days ago?

Apparently a newspaper readership increases by 10% whenever they have a front page with weather on it!

probably Collie! Does anyone remember the feet of snow and arctic blizzards they said we would have last year (or the year before that?!)

Probably both years, OYBBK. It's an annual tradition.

yup, all years, since time began

One year they'll manage to get it right.

yep, sure there was a headline of snowstorms over the dead sea in the dead sea scrolls and archaeologists have found a warning of killer drifts chiselled into stone from the mesolithinc era...
