hurricane to hit uk warning

the daily mail says tuesday, but this paper says the weekend. the link ubove is the independent paper.

[DJKillaQueen]

Hmmm...might make footy at the weekend a little interesting!

[Undisputedtruth]

Indeed, it reminds of playing football on Blackheath where the ball swirls in the wind.

[DJKillaQueen]

Ooh I've never played on a heath!

Hopefully it will blow all them damn mosquitos away. THREE times I got bitten on Thursday!

[Loz]

You need to run faster, DJKQ...!

[MrBen]

Michael Fish. Where are your reassuring words when we need you....

[Ladygooner]

I heard it was only going to hit north of England but I could be wrong

[XXDECORATORXX]

According to map, it should hit portsmouth , and head up the west coast towards north, we may get verry high winds tho, but its got a mind of its own, it was supposed to hit the states but changed direction to uk.

"better go find toto me dog incase i get lost on the yellow brick road" :O)

[KalamityKel]

Is it not EX-HURRICANE?

come on a wee bit of blustry weather...

No problem then. Once it hits Portsmouth it'll get so pissed it will wander around in circles before throwing up all over Kent.

[jctg]

There's only one thing that's certain and that is WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE come Monday.

[Alan Medic]

That's just being paranoid. It could have Ireland in it's sights.

[DulwichFox]

I have a carpenter coming round Monday morning to fit new front door.

Could be interesting :))

gees, you made it sound like a horror movie,lol. just had a look at telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/weather/8754681/Britain-braces-itself-for-Katia.html

looks like its changeing and gonna hit scotland first.

[XXDECORATORXX]

here you can view the storm live on radar http://www.stormpulse.com/

click on dots on the graph and will show you estimated time looks like its heading to scotland and straight over it.

if you dont see it you have to look at summary bottom left and see when the radar is active with name of storm it should light up red,

I can't see any estimated times, but I make it at 47.7 degrees West at 9pm BST Saturday (Advisory 50), and moving at approximately one degree of longitude an hour. For the London area the most the Met Office is currently predicting during the next three days is winds of 19mph, gusting to 38mph.

[DJKillaQueen]

It's a little windy out there now......but just that...a little windy. A bit disappointing ready :D

[ianr]

Just discoverd the Stormpulse forecasts, in a Discussion section: http://www.stormpulse.com/message/201112/30/50

"72H 13/1200Z 61.0N 1.0W 50 KT 60 MPH...POST-TROP/EXTRATROP"

72 Hours from when? Well, the INIT time report shows the 47.7W data, as for the above Advisory 50 of 9pm yesterday. .

They say that's the last forecast they'll issue. They don't issue any for systems east of zero degrees longitude, and recommend the Met Office. Lerwick is 60.2N.

yeah, i must of just got the link in time, the line was attached all the way to scotland, hitting northen ireland and scotland, when i clicked on scotland, winds were supose to be 70 mph moving at 54 mph, and to arive in uk between monday and tuesday heading towards norway but from cape reece to uk winds were slowing down.

but if the papers are telling the truth it's supose to be 100 miles wide, it may get a bit windy in dulwich.

but it could change direction again.

[The Minkey]

Reading that article, hasn't it already been downgraded from hurricane to gale status?

[ianr]

Trawling through the Met Office regions, here we can currently expect 40mph gusts tomorrow. The highest I've seen predicted is 64mph, in the NW and Scotland, with 45-50mph in many diverse locations, including Canterbury and Brighton.

[Ridgley]

Lets see if it is as bad as 86;-)

[Townleygreen]

86? Nothing happened then. Do you mean 1987? That was the year of the storm that downed 15 million trees in SE England. It had winds of hurricane speed, though it wasn't an actual hurricane.

[SimonM]

Yesterday it reached 71mph at Whitby...
