Extremely gusty here in Bedfordshire but it’s dry so far.

Sounds awful. I hope it dies down soon.

Wild and windy here on the northwest coast. A rattling window.
Cosy under my heated throw.

North Leicestershire is very windy but I can't hear rain.

Some scary gusts here ... I live on a hill. The garden chairs are blowing about but it is too windy to try and retrieve them. I just hope they do not crash into my French windows ....

Wind is starting to pick up here near Bristol. Raining as well but not too bad at the moment

At the moment, it’s not too bad. We’re in Yorkshire. It’s been breezy throughout the day, but not too strong. It is forecast to be stronger through the night but I hope that doesn’t happen. It was worse last weekend, to be honest. We had really wild wind, and indeed it’s said we had a mini whirlwind near us which I believe, because the sound we heard was like nothing I’d experienced before, like a roaring aircraft coming up the street. It upended our outdoor rocking chair, but left everything else intact - very strange.

Gusty wind on the south coast.

It seems fine in West Oxfordshire. Just a little bit of rain and moderate wind. Elder son and his family are in the Highlands and they tell me there is snow.

North Midlands here and blowing a hooley!!! 🌬️

Rain lashing down on the windows here, in Wales.

I’m in Essex so we’ll miss most of the gales fortunately. I hate it when it’s really windy, will be thinking of you, cuddling the cat. I hope you don’t have any damage overnight.

How is it with everyone? It's horrible here. Strong winds and driving rain. The windows are creaking horribly. The poor cat is glued to me (actually I don't mind that. We comfort each other). It's going to be a long night.
