Wind is starting to pick up and drive the rain with a bit more force against the windows....

No wind here in the centre of the known universe, just rain, rain, rain...

Is it safe to nip out to the 24hr shop for some more popcorn? I don't want to end up in some Baltic state.....

Rain has just stopped for now and the wind is blowing 20-30mph. in North Herts

Yes!! German Bight had a 'Hurricane Force 12' given for it! The best elsewhere were 'Violent Storm 11s''.

Lundy is also going 'Baltic', whatever that means.



I missed the forecast at 00.48, so there might have been more 12s'

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

99 MPH measured on the IOW.

I have had to turn the radio up to hear it above the wind here in Kent and we keep losing power.
