starting Thursday night if you live in West Wales and across the Southern region of England.
Don't like to appear by being part of the Nanny State.
So I am going to suggest a couple of things,yours are welcome.
Make sure your phone is fully charge and if you do have a wireless with rechargeable battery's put it on charge.
Fill your car up with fuel
Get some cash out of the cash machines
and get a couple of extra days shopping.
To the extreme if you have car and live in a low lying location try and get up on a bit higher ground never like see cars during floods being under one foot of water and and written off
Just keep safe.

We've been preparing for armageddon (as we say whenever we buy an extra tin or wind up torch!😂) for ages now so it would be interesting to put our supplies to the the test...

Oh for goodness sake-it’s called Autumn!
It’s the North of Scotland that might get extreme low temps and snow.
So high winds, rain, that’s about par for the course in late October - don’t panic Mr Mainwaring ! Don’t panic!
