Just a normal wet and windy day here in Cornwall so far. We are used to plenty of 'weather' in Britain, we'll cope somehow however bad - or not.

Very windy here. Been over to see my brother run in the Great South Run in Portsmouth. Got some supplies in so we don't have to leave the house again. Hubby's just worried about the carport!

In Kent we already are feeling the effect as the wind has really picked up now...kind of dreading tomorrow, i am travelling to France to pick my niece...going with the shuttle on the Eurotunnel so should be ok!
take care everyone!

Depending on how far into France you are going, you might not be so lucky because according to this article, the storm is expected to hit the north of France at the same time as it hits the south of England and Wales. If you go further south into France though, you should be fine.

Hi John

thanks for message, i am actually going to Calais, just for the day and then back to the UK, i have been before when the weather was horrendous but its pretty safe on the shuttle and once i get there i am driving just a few miles to cite europe..fingers crossed

It's grey here in London at the mo, I'm hoping it doesn't hit until tomorrow here. My boyfriend is travelling down on the coach overnight and I'm worried about him being out in it. Hopefully it's nowhere near as bad as they are predicting. Stay safe everyone xx

It will be interesting to see the updates on this thread tomorrow, keep safe everyone.

In Falmouth, Cornwall, we have had quite a bit of wind and rain yesterday evening, some pretty strong winds earlier, now it's windy with intermittent rain.
I am really worried as my daughter and her partner are driving from Alton towers to Plymouth this evening and then down to here late tonight/early hours of the morning. They've promised to drive slowly, but I am still nervous

Safe journey for yr family Karen x keep warm ! X

Take care @angie and niece
Looking forward to seeing you saturday x

I am in Lower normandy and it has been blowing since last night. It is now very windy with heavy rain. Hope it clears before I cross the channel on Tuesday.

It's almost like the calm before the storm in Southampton, been very gusty most of the day, now it's calmed right down, heavy rain though.

The wind and rain have definitely picked up down here

I wonder if it will be as bad as the Great Storm of 1987.
Keep safe everyone.

I remember the storm of 1987 and the absolute chaos that ensued. It happened just before I left the UK. It was quite sad how the country could not cope with a single short-lived storm. I hope this one will be less of a disaster as there has been a bit of warning, but I'm glad not to hold my breath over that.

Hope you all come through unscathed!

The wind had died down now

Take good care of yourselves with the storms up there
