We are in Donegal, Ireland, right in the firing line for Friday morning. Generator prepped and ready to go, and always have oil lamps at the ready. Big pot of stew already cooked. Normal preps for me every winter. Good luck everyone, hope it takes a sharp turn north away from land

I hope people in the affected areas having taken precautions and topped up their phones, power banks, lamps, food, hot water bottles etc. as there will be quite a few shops closed or short of stock in remote areas. And take care anyone travelling out in this lot especially couriers, delivery people, utilities and rescue services.
@@Arcade-tm2ck Simple advice that's all. We currently have 90mph gusts here, pylons are down and power outages in most areas For those who are elderly or infirm the next few hours could be a struggle
The last big storm i was working in was storm Dorris. A roof blew of a building and i got my neck broke. I'll be staying inside for this one thank you very much.
I hope that all in R.O I ,and U.K. will follow warnings and stay safe . Please check with your vulnerable and elderly neighbours . Take Care and stay safe . Hopefully homeless people , will get into shelters this evening .
Thanks for the timely warning. I've got extra coal and wood in for the weekend. Last time, I lost electricity for 54 hours and had to stay up nights, keeping the fire well stoked just to keep one room warm. Best wishes to those in the path of this storm.
this last 14 months months has been insane, coolest summer in years, one of the wettest autumns in years, the coldest winter since 2011 and now 100 mile an hour winds. i feel theres a lot more to come
Many thanks Alex, today's certainly went through fairly quickly, but I know that from tonight on it'll be a different thing, especially for those in Scotland and so forth. Please take very great care everyone and if you don't need to go out, then don't as the risk is too great!!
First time I’ve watched one of these weather forecasts, not sure if it’s a new thing but it’s great. Weather forecast on demand, and in more detail. 👍👍👍
It'll be grand. We've Been through worse during the troubles sure. Just a bit of wind. Especially after I witnessed hurricane Milton this is a breeze in comparison 😂😂
3pm. Just looked at the live data on Weather&Radar and it is showing 80mph in SW approaches. The bin collection guys have abandoned us. Will bring in dustbin and secure it before it joins the space station.
We didn't have our school closed for the storm in 1963. We still walked to school and back again. And our toilets were outside. More ado about nothing. Needless to say the windier it is the better. I love the sun and the wind, more so when it's blowing a stooshie 😊🏴.
I got a text alert on my phone too. I didnt have my glasses on so hoped it wasnt an incoming nuclear attack. I'm now wondering if I am under-estimating the severity of the strong wind and rain tomorrow.
A squall must have past over south west Shropshire at around noon, suddenly got REALLY windy for a couple of minutes then nothing. It was quite surprising.
The base was pretty stout and fairly used to it but I do remember things on the main hangar getting loose. Walking across the base could be an adventure! @metalmarten3478
The 1987 storm was truly horrific. The loss of life and damage to property to say nothing of the tree devastation was a storm never to be forgotten. I lived and still live on the Essex/Suffolk border.
@Yes it was like a train coming through. I was laying in bed wondering what I would find the next morning. Meanwhile my husband slept through it totally unaware. Luckily we only lost a few peg tiles and the electricity for quite a few days.
Stay safe. Please get everything you need today and DO NOT DRIVE, or go out at all. It is not worth it for a day or so. Too many people die. Flying debris is highly dangerous - protect dogs too. Batten down the hatches and buy tins of food in. Enjoy a day at home. Safety for all. ❤. Be prepared.
A Cat 4 hurricane? lol a cat 4 hurricane is 131MPH to 155MPH and that is SUSTAINED winds not gusts. The 1987 Great Storm was sustained winds of over 87MPH or higher and over 130MPH wind gusts in a 3/4 hour period, mainly over the south east and London area. That storm knocked down over 15 MILLION trees in 4 hours.
I think once it makes landfall across Ireland it will possibly slip a little further south than this forecast suggests, Central belt Scotland looks like it will get battered wether it moves a little south or not or stays on suggested track. Wouldn't surprise me if by tomorrow we are hearing of 110-120 mph gusts in areas
@@bonnetdedouche Yup, thats where I live. Everything in the garden, that can be, is tied down or put into garage/ greenhouse. Reminds me of " The January Storm" 1968, lot of damage then, though the tenaments are generally in better condition now. I can't remember as bad a forecast here since ( the famous 1987 one was milder this far north)
@@repairworld2367for London 😂wow slight little breeze and everything comes to a stop there pathetic. Scotland Ireland and wales get it worse every year and they all deal with it and still go on there way.
Best wishes and stay safe to our neighbours in the UK from Tipperary Ireland
Hope you will all be safe in Tipperary and all of Ireland too.

Excellent reporting from the Met Office. None of the sensationalistic claptrap pushed out from certain "newspapers". Thank you 👍
Aye, I was really impressed by his ability to communicate
I read in the mirror newspaper that there was going to be 250mph winds absolute scare mongering
@@edwardroe7012 That was/is the estimated speed of the Jetsrteam - ie at very high altitude (where aircraft fly) - not at ground level across the British Isles!
@riggers6214 I know it's just how the mirror reported it as Britain to be battered by 250mph winds its ridiculous this isn't jupiter lol

Sending love and light to everyone in the worst affected areas. Please be careful everyone. Xxx

In Ireland lies my heart while physically my greetings come from Germany...❤
Thankyou to all of the met office team for your excellent forecasts😊
What’s excellent about it
I pray, that everyone stays safe inside, please, no one go out tomorrow, don’t risk it. love from Northern Ireland❤❤

@R.O I - Just say Ireland. Weather doesn't care about borders.
938 hPa weather system is not to be messed with. Stay safe everyone.
thanks for that I was hoping to see the low pressure figure but not shown
yep Storm Callum was a 938 i think too
Great storm of '87 barometric pressure dropped to 28.73"HG as we used to measure it in those days when testing aero engines

Looks like here in the Midlands we're dodging the worst of it, unlike the last storm which ran right through.
Pot of stew or broth made for tomorrow is looking promising
Add some dumplings 😊

3pm. Just looked at the live data on Weather&Radar and it is showing 80mph in SW approaches. The bin collection guys have abandoned us. Will bring in dustbin and secure it before it joins the space station.

There was a few small tornadoes in the South Devon and Newquay areas this morning around 11am.
Had a tornado in Newquay ,Cornwall this morning,roof tiles blown off!
Oh heck, hope the coming wind is milder than expected 💕
Thank you, Alex
Stay safe everyone. From Edinburgh. Its gona be bad. 😱
My fence ain't going to make it 😮😞
Rip fence
I tie mine to my washing line posts.
Our fence sustained damage in a gale last year, so hoping wind just blows through the gaps !
@@deirdrenugent1887 My fence was rattling like my Grandma's teeth....
Was in 100-mph winds in Macrihanish years ago. Left quite an impression! Here's hoping all stay safe- that thing looks like a monster.
Did it break windows? Or the roof?
The base was pretty stout and fairly used to it but I do remember things on the main hangar getting loose. Walking across the base could be an adventure! @metalmarten3478
Half decent chance of a tornado today in the south, Cold front looking pretty convective. Hope everyone stays safe in Ireland tonight/tomorrow.
Pretty certain something like that came through newquay earlier
@@thecornishbiker9323 I think you are right, Just seen a couple of videos during my lunch break. Not surprised but i hope everyone was ok.

Close enough 🤷♀️
@@oopimms91oo44 wind in january,unheard of lol
Good job 👍🏼
Good afternoon Alex
I bet it will be nothing like the storm of 1987 in the south east of England. Essex and Suffolk in particular.
And that was a small blow compared to " The January Storm" 1968 in Scotland !
The 1987 storm was truly horrific. The loss of life and damage to property to say nothing of the tree devastation was a storm never to be forgotten. I lived and still live on the Essex/Suffolk border.

Thank you Alex🌬🌫🌪
Thanks a lot!
This winds going to pass this is not going to touch us at all
All the best to our Irish cousins and those in Scotland. I hope you escape the worst of it. And everybody in The Uk who could be affected Take care.
80+ Mph is more than just "wind"
yeah BBC uses the word "gales"
It's still wind whatever you want to call it 😂
I'm in Liverpool, got loads of wood in for the woodburner for over the weekend
Here in Co.Meath.... starting to get wild ... stay safe 😮
Bring it on.....
What a stupid comment - some people will probably be killed!
@@R-11034thank you saying the truth. I’m in the red warning area and it looks very, very dangerous
So its moved further north which means northeast England will not get as strong?
Parts of NE England are Amber warning, still very strong winds.
Sending prayers for all in the path of the storm. 🙏🤍🕊
Thanks Alex appreciate your work
Anybody noticed all these storms happen on the weekend
Convenient, isn't it !!
Since when was Friday classed as the weekend? Saturday and Sunday's weather looks pretty normal.
Looking at the low pressure, it’s an equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane.
Stay safe, Scotland and Ireland.
EDIT - hurricane, not hurricain
A Cat 4 hurricane? lol a cat 4 hurricane is 131MPH to 155MPH and that is SUSTAINED winds not gusts. The 1987 Great Storm was sustained winds of over 87MPH or higher and over 130MPH wind gusts in a 3/4 hour period, mainly over the south east and London area. That storm knocked down over 15 MILLION trees in 4 hours.
It’s dangerous but it’s actually cat 2 levels
I've just received the Government Red Alert message. They're expecting gusts so strong that I'll be blown to the pub!
1pm & Bristol area already getting strong wind & heavy rain.
Sunny in Gloucestershire at the moment.
Calm still in West Scotland !
Pray, don’t worry! Everything will be fine.
Very helpful. Thanks
My poor shed!!!... lol. Oh well. Everything/one safe.
After what i seen in Florida with hurricane millton this is just a bit of wind. Hunkerdown you'll be grand 😂

Crikey. Thanks for the heads up. Tomorrow's commute will ve "interesting".

You have Aberdeen at 4 it's 6 here, no rain at the moment.
Going to be a bit windy then... 🤕
Thanks alex

Looks good for the south west
Wee bit windy aye?

Are we likely to catch any bad weather from that polar vortex and snowfall affecting southern USA?

Great im in the 🇬🇧

seems to have tracked north a little

Just been on Sky news.....train companies are already cancelling!!!!!
@@repairworld2367for London 😂wow slight little breeze and everything comes to a stop there pathetic. Scotland Ireland and wales get it worse every year and they all deal with it and still go on there way.

Don’t need a reason normally

Looks like we are gonna get hammered in Belfast. 👀 🍺🍺🍺
I only have a yellow warning for winds so ill be safe😊
