Storms should be named after fossil fuel companies5

Bert was a great name for a storm , would love it if we could have a Bert 2 … the sequel.
I thought this thread was going to be about the Posh owner!
Saying that, he does have plenty of wind at times.0 -

I'd imagine Storm Chizz would be a hot air one.2 -
I didn't get the government warning text message 🤬1

The problem with Darragh is that it is still developing and most of that will happen if/when and which side it exits the Jet Stream. The effect is called 'bombing' and results in winds strengthening very rapidly, hence the need for advance warnings. All forecasts I have seen to date suggest London/NW Kent will get hit least but .... be prepared !

Around three million people in parts of Wales and south-west England have been sent an emergency alert from the government as Storm Darragh approaches the UK.
It is the largest use of the warning system yet and has been sent to the mobile phones of people in areas covered by the Met Office red weather warning for the storm.
The alert made a loud siren-like sound when it was delivered to devices, even if they were set on silent. The alert lasted for around 10 seconds.

And the one 2 before was called Bert. I mean at least it should have been called Bertie.

Well the weather forecasts are going to be fun when we get to N. More variations in pronunciation than when Josh Laqeretabua plays.

Just home from a meal in Baltimore & it’s blowing a right hoolie. Lots of debris.
Just had red status wind recorded at Sherkin (the Island just off our coast) at 80mph.
It’s going to be an interesting night.
Stay safe all.3 -
Raining here in Lincoln now and the wind picking g up. But at the mo nothing more than a winters night.2

Forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes.
There is actually a red warning for some parts of the country with winds up 90mph possible, that is a serious threat to life.

We've become a nation of ninnies.
It's winter, it's weather.
Deal with it.
