We've just bought a weather station and all it portrays is impending doom, pressure falling like a stone.

Yep, I can well and truly confirm Somerset is being OWNED by mother nature at the moment LOL. I got SOAKED just filling up the car with petrol... and nearly blew away! Although I do look like a stick insect lol

Wind is picking up here now and its peeing down. Nice clear slot forecast for 3am when I get home from work Doubt I will be able to image but if it happens I'll set my piggyback conversion up.

I'm still at work (Devon) and am mildly apprehensive about driving back to Taunton... the wind is either going to blow me off the motorway or get me along at 100mph...

Blimey James!!

Has your boss not heard of the working time directive???!!

[James]

I started late this morning...

Do you mean batten down the hatches, or batter them down?

Lots of fuss about this, but I suspect only because of the part of the country it's hitting. I expect to see three or four like this, or worse, every winter here on the North Coast of Northern Ireland.

My Suunto watch keeps flipping into altimeter mode. It's seeing such rapid falls in air pressure that it assumes I must be travelling uphill!

[Beulah]

Just come back from the pub and the roads are flooded although the rain has stopped, the wind is howling a hoolie...

[johninderby]

Here in Derby at the moment it's cloudy but no rain and the wind is 2mph gusting to 6mph. There was some light rain for a while earlier the evening but other than that it's been dry all day with sunny breaks in the morning. Latest forecast is windy Sat morning but clearing later in the day.
