Let's not panic the people! Say it's going to be a little gusty and hope for the best!

Maybe, though it's a heck of a gamble. Anyway, night chaps.

Good night and good luck.

Possible sting jet according to chief Netweather forecaster:

It ceased to be a hurricane at around 4.30 am - as someone on Netweather said, quite poignantly, I thought:

It's bye, bye to the NHC. They have given their final advisory.



No longer a hurricane. We may never see them have to track a hurricane here for the rest of our lives. Great work from them.

GIF of the hurricane from Saturday until last night:

Wild, wet and windy night over west Scotland last night. However we've had much worse, guess B/monkey was more in the line of attack. Hope the roof stayed okay, Paul.

Yes, thank you, all fine. A bit messy around the coast with 20ft waves reported and gusts of wind recorded at 68 mph max but so far so good.
Keep safe.

It's almost night here in SW London and it's only 3 PM... Strange.

Strangest of atmospheres here in North London. Absolute stillness. No birds. Pink skies. One imagines it being like this before the eruption of Krakatoa, or something.

Update: Now the wind is picking up.....

I thought it was some kind of partial eclipse

Could well be. The birds usually go to roost during an eclipse.

No eclipse, I've checked.
