I'm sitting in work, listening to the storm lash rain at the windows!
Cant believe it was calm and almost pleasant when I walked on duty earlier.
Hope everyone is ok and not getting flooded etc.
Pretty wild here in Inverness. Hopefully it's blown itself out by tomorrow when I head for the hills!
Howling in South Pembrokeshire at the mo. Supposed to be getting up to 70mph later...the blowhole might be working tomorrow at high tide!
Getting a bit gusty here in Carmarthenshire. The flue of the chimney is humming too.
Windy here in 9xfordshie but our rain hadn’t arrived yes. Had a good ride early this afternoon but timed the return leg to be downwind.
Windy here in Ayrshire, the patio doors were flexing in a bit 😳
60mph before the local weather station died, it has dropped off a bit now though.
Near here is Bedfordshire and they're on flood alert red. Had so much rain on the 23rd.
A bit blowy around here in north Wiltshire, I can hear it around the chimney vent, but I haven’t been outside to see. It’s nice and warm inside, I have a glass of Two Cocks Brewery ’Puritan Stout’ to finish off, followed by a glass of Buffalo Trace bourbon. That might end up as two, you never know. 💨🍺🥃🤪
There’s a bit of breeze out.
the local river is already higher than i can remember in the last 30 years with the rain due tonight it's going to get very damp for some poor souls.
We’re on tenterhooks down yir in Devon
Bit blowy up here in Cumbria.
We had enough flooding Wednesday/Thursday, don't want anymore 🙁
Might need to go and have words with the big tree over the road when I go to bed shortly, it's making a bit of a din in the gusts of upto ~70mph! 😮
Proper windy here south Worcestershire, we had a lot of flooding in the village on Thursday.
Pretty grim in Lochaber. Had to wear a coat to walk the dogs earlier.

.......and all flood gates opened earlier in Bedford to send it all downstream; St Neots & St Ives next towns in line
We've got the river Welland about 400m down the road. There's already been some flooding of houses a mile or two away.
Wind has really picked up in the last few hours and raining steadily.
Keeping my fingers crossed to be honest!
I'm on the South Coast on a big hill. Got back after a wet and muddy ride earlier and went round bracing all the fence posts with timber before going in to get changed.
We always lose some in storms, even had a concrete repair spur snap in half last year!
It's pretty gusty but only the odd rattle of tiles at the moment.
Bloody windy at 225m in Calderdale
The neighbours Xmas lights are flying off towards York. Very unpleasant so far.
Neighbour’s tree blew down. Luckily the downwind neighbour.
We’ve got the river Welland about 400m down the road. There’s already been some flooding of houses a mile or two away.
Was brought up in Deeping overlooking the Welland. That house last flooded in '52, but been a red flood alert along there for the last couple of days which I've never seen before.
I was woken at 5am by a particularly vicious squall of wind and rain. It hailed for a bit later on but it's just regular rain now. There's clearly been a lot though, the road (gravel track) is more like a river.
Sunshine and zero wind now.
Apparently it hit over 100mph on the isle of wight.... crikey!
I was woken at 5am by a particularly vicious squall of wind and rain.
Yes, finished with a bang like that here near Derby around then.
Beautiful blue sky now, the roads are like mill ponds....
A broken fence post here and a few bits thrown aroun£ the garden despite battening down the hatches yesterday afternoon. The New Forest.
I slept through but the wife was awake as she said it sounded like the sash windows we’re going to blow through!
Just been out on the bike. Proper soggy ground and a few more trees down.
I was going to take advantage of now being in Tier4 and head up to the Ridgeway and legally be able to enter Berkshire but is is going to be a total mudfest and despite being offered a loan of my neighbour's fatbike I can't be arsed to clean the Ridgeway clay off it on my return. I'll let it drain for a few days first.
A ride on the road bike this arvo as it is due to start getting colder over the next week or so.
I live 100mtr from the sea and it was blasting from 1200. 60mph mostly, no damage here but walls fences and boats blown over up and down the road.
Lots of flooding too found a puddle on a window sill that needs some investigation.
Lots of surfers out enjoying the swell this morning, But very light winds, unlike sat pm where i was windsurfing for a few hours , got up to interesting wind speeds after 3ish and built from there. Warm for December though, no burning hands afterwards
Must have slept through it! Just got back from a ride and the surrounding area is flooded quite badly, was quite a shock!
Just been for a ride along the local canal, the river beside it has burst it banks making the tow path mid fork high in water, I had to wade a stream that's returned into a river (over knee high), and fell off into a huge deep puddles. I abandoned my rideand came home with exceptionally cold feet & howled with pain as they thawed, much to the amusement of my family.
60mph winds and rain overnight down here in Cornwall. Had to dash out at midnight to put the basketball hoop on the floor in case it was blown over into a window, which was quite bracing. Woken at 8am by the brightest lightning and loudest thunder known to man, just the one clap but was basically on top of us.
All day though it's been sunny and still, so just back from a nice walk through the woods.
Lot of overnight rain topping up 23rds deluge, not too much tree damage though. South East Notts/Lincs area. Flooded Road under a rail bridge though which required a big gear and quarter turn of the cranks to keep feet dry, the alternative was a big retrace of steps and busy roads or complete route change. I was a big brave boy and kept feet dry luckily.
North Hampshire - lost two fence panels and two posts so could have been worse.
I managed to sleep right thru it all.
Locals trails have water running right done the middle.
Known it windier, but a lot of rain locally, so the Avon is pretty high, with some flooding downstream around Lacock and Melksham, but that stretch is old river, and meanders a lot, so it’s farmland floodplain. And again I’ve seen higher water levels.
