Hurricane watch...

[Aperitif]

Here's a learned article on the 1987 storm. Has anybody got a barograph? The traces from 1987 where impressive.

If there was a graph for the number of times we had been in bars, Martin, it would be a difficult equation to countenance.

Here we go again. Every year in N England we get storms like this, more in Scotland
Once in a decade there is one in S England and the southern-based media thinks the world is going to end
Get a grip soft southerners

A classic 'clock up' then. Shelf heights for clocks are critical; minute differences can throw everything out of kilter.

My daughter has trouble pronouncing L's (she's only 2 so it's not her fault) and once delighted telling me loudly in a busy shop that there was a Clock on the wall. We left the shop in a hurry.

Back to the OP, just had a heavy downpour and some gusts ... On Monday myself and the father in law are going to chuck the chainsaw in the landy and head out to play (and possibly collect some roadkill firewood)

Can we please, please have live through-the-night updates on the clock-back thingy to make double-sure it happens? My worst fear's turning up for work an hour early on Monday.

I know understandy. What is the bottom line. How bad are the winds going to be. Looking at that thing means nothing to me. Sorry. Not good with things like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if weathermen deliberately exaggerate these gusts because they don't want to have a repeat of Michael Fish's '87 report.

Rabat or Casablanca?

For London
"Sunny intervals but also strong, blustery winds blowing heavy, thundery showers through during the morning. Fewer showers in the afternoon but perhaps more persistent rain reaching the west later. Maximum Temperature 15 °C."
