I wish my boat was in Jersey tonight rather than Chi harbour, it's been a solid F9 for the last few hours with gusts up to F11

Pressure is still falling, its at 990mb now. Very windy with rain.
Love hearing the wind rush around the house! (im on the end of a row of houses, end of my house is facing north)

Here in South London my new digital barometer is showing 988mb and 43%.
Don't take the mick, it's only a M&S one but it has been right for the last two weeks.
988 is the lowest I've seen on it, since I bought it.

I have been edgy all week as my dog 'picks' up things, (a bit psychic) like local EQs and storms and he started his odd behaviour earlier this week. He hasn't been wrong yet.

I've just let the dog out the back for his ..... and next door's fir tree is leaning. My eldest saw a flash in the sky but no sound.

Very windy and squally outside but it has to be really hammering it down for us to hear it inside. Not much rain.
I know it's not a professional/amateur weatherman account but I just wanted to add to the accounts.
Since I wrote this, it is now 987mb. Not fearmongering just reporting.

Hope Friday's storm doesn't happen.

Just as a reminder to all. Its currently 2230, the main central low isn't due to hit the UK Mainland until tomorrow. this is the beginning. The peak is still a good few hours away.

See Sat24 for real time viewing of the LP position relative to your location. *you cant miss it, its the big swirl with the long extended tail

Well, here's me thinking it wouldn't be so bad.....
My flat has lost half of its tiles, sounds like the roof is nearly coming off - and there's a huge crack going all the way across my hallway ceiling, leaking water. This is only the beginning.. ! Fun times.

EDIT: It's a house seperated into 2 flats, so i'm safe if the roof actually gives way ! ^^

I've currently got 46 to 61 mph winds

As an added peice of information. There is a general risk of thunderstorms, albeit isolated throughout the western half of the UK over the next 12 hours or so with a slight risk of tornado's for the southern half of the UK.

What is your location?

@jrmcleod

Looking at that Sat24 site you linked,
www.sat24.com...

It looks like this thing is getting its act together, its wrapping up nicely

With the LP pushing west above the one in question, and the HP staying static below over Spain, is there a chance this thing could push down south lower then predicted and into France pushing though the middle of both systems?

Im in brighton. The winds are very strong here. I heard tonorrow will be worse. Just have to wait and see.

UKMO is still going with the evolution of the Major low on Thurs/Friday with currnt projections into the SW or Ireland and transisting through England. The MetO must be confident of something giving that other models are not sugesting this.

Looks like there could be more damage sustained from already shaken trees and saturated ground. Watch out for flooding and falling trees when thsi sweeps through

Well the east coast of N Ireland was really rough for about two hours at about 4:00,
but now its eerily quiet and calm, dunno if its supposed to be the eye o_0 lol

BBC weather has given N Ireland 60 to 70 mph winds for tomorrow late afternoon

Thanks for the link, and a reminder that I have it saved in my bookmarks already!
I've just reserved myself a wireless weather station and am going to pick it up tomorrow. So hopefully I can get the hang of it and have some accurate readings for my location

Please see TORRO severe weather advisory regarding Tornado's for the South, SW and SE of England.
