Since they (Media) started giving these situations names, instead of the good old fashioned "Force 9" description, every windy day has become a worthy news opportunity.
Down here in Berkshire it's Sunny, with light rain, occasionally, and, a force 2 breeze.
Bit like a Yorkshire Summer in fact!
I agree. The media love a bit of drama and naming storms does just that. I'm waiting for Storm Longdogs, it'll blow your socks off.
Wet & windy here, but the coast has had a battering. A high tide coupled with on shore winds, inland here, not so bad.
Tiff darlin' - go look at the 'live' camera feeds I've put on here - you'll get an idea just how strong the winds are - check out the speed of the clouds scudding across the sky!!!
