Storm Betty

Another wet and windy weekend according to the Met Office website:

A Met Office yellow warning for wind covers coastal areas of western Wales, eastern Northern Ireland and parts of northwest England and southwest Scotland. Rain warnings have also been issued from late Friday and into Saturday for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly said: “Friday and Saturday will see unseasonably wet and windy conditions for much of the UK. While Storm Betty will have higher impacts in Ireland, exposed Irish Sea coasts of the UK could see gusts in excess of 70mph, with around 50mph more widely.

Just coming back in to tout my theory that this is also a very early autumn storm, rather than a later season one, similar to Storm Antoni. Any ideas how long Betty will be with us?

On east coast of Ireland here, and it's very wet and starting to get gusty. Apparently already raining sideways in Cork on the south coast.

But we are forecast for rain to finish up around 7am so we expect DD's cycling races to go ahead from 8am tomorrow morning...
