Wind is whipping up now and set to be 48mph tomorrow - I have no plans to go anywhere at all ....!

But on Friday I have a train journey to negotiate - or maybe there will be the wrong kind of leaves on the line ....

It's been quite windy here to the point a shop chimney was blown down but it was badly damaged anyway!

I love storms, rain, wind, cold, snow. Bring it on!

Clearing up after the storm.

Casdon as I said earlier the CI ( channel isles) have had it really bad. Poor Jersey have had such a bad run of misfortune and my heart goes out to them.

Mine too dogsmother, the TV footage looks terrifying. I hope it passes quickly.

Just getting windy again here in Oxfordshire, local roads are flooded.

It looks really dreadful in Jersey, I just watched a news correspondent get buffeted over by the wind. It’s okay in mid Wales, a bit wet and windy but nothing out of the ordinary so far.

S E Essex, torrential rain, blustery and very dark

Just about to go out and pick up GS from school football practice, he will be cold and drenched.

I seem to have got off lightly so far ... fingers crossed for the rest of the day.

In South Somerset now it's raining and windy but not very far out of the ordinary. No tiles lost. Local pumpkin display not blown away overnight. I think we were on the edge of the storm.

Storm Ciarán has arrived. Tree down near Trerulefoot and lots of water on the roads.

OK here in my part of the South. Just rain, just spoke to my mate on IOW car ferry running atm.

Hi Joseann.... Great photos! I bet your dog will be pleased when this weather heads east and leaves us alone.
It's actually easing off a bit here now I think.

Still heavy rain in south Devon this morning, after a very stormy night.

Yes, only mad dogs out in the Devon rain this morning!

Granmarderby10 Thu 02-Nov-23 10:20:01

All is calm here 🙂

Very windy last night on the south coast. It didn’t keep me awake though. Our amber warning seems to have shifted to Sussex so hopefully we’ve had the worst.

Bella23 Thu 02-Nov-23 10:04:42

Showers of heavy rain but not the usual westerly gales here in Eden. Hope it stays like this. Next door has an old Sycamore they will not cut down that has a habit of dropping a huge branch on the road or our drive if the gales start.

not at the moment

Bluebelle - hope things settle a bit for you. Windy and rain here - but the really strong gusts are not due for a couple of hours.

Went to pick up the little grandson from school here in Wiltshire and encountered horizontal freezing rain and unbelievable winds, I was scared we’d get blown over. The night was noisy and very wet but the trees are quiet at the moment, very still in fact that is in itself a little scary.

Joseann Thu 02-Nov-23 09:47:04

The wind was you might call angry yesterday evening in Devon, but died down throughout the night. Picking up a bit now. I think the real big storm is happening south of UK in the Channel and in France. Friends in Brittany say it's devastation there.

All quiet here in Co. Durham. Very heavy rain overnight, but no wind.

Hope our holiday home in Normandy is OK,. We're going over to it next week...

I'm in Cornwall and it was very stormy last night and still bad this morning. I'm mainly worried because my daughter is returning to London today by train and bus.

Primrose53 Thu 02-Nov-23 08:45:43

Has been raining during the night, but stopped now. No sign of wind at all.

North Norfolk.

My son and his family are on holiday on the south coast. I’m hoping that they’re ok: haven’t heard from them.
