5am we had a pathetic attempt at a thunderstorm, it's been a gorgeous day today only just started raining. I have torches, curtains and windows open ready to enjoy 'St Jude's' but nothing...why do we bother having a weather forecast!

Disclaimer: While I enjoy a few gusts and thunder and lightening I in no way want a huge storm that will affect others in any negative way*

Well if you'd watched the weather forecast you'd know when it's forecast in your area!

We're in Scotland - rain is heavy but little wind. Even what is forecast is not the worst to hit the uk since 1987 which i read earlier, just the worst to hit the south of england. We'd really bad hurricane force up here last winter and the year before.

I am in west sussex but right on the coast and the winds are starting to blow. nothing bad yet but with the lashing rain it is not a pleasant night for a stroll along the sea front

WeegieMum yeh I can't see it being as bad as those winds. With bits flying off buildings. Shock Crossing the forth road bridge was terrifying!

In Berkshire. It was windy today with the odd angry looking sky, then it went very calm with a bit of drizzle. I was thinking that it wouldn't be so bad or was going to mainly miss us. There's still no wind but the rain is building up.

It's not meant to have hit any of us yet. What we've got at the moment is plain October shitty weather.

yes the hurricane force in dec 2011 was nasty - every single glass recycle bin in our street was blown away, there was glass everywhere. my dh couldnt get home from work for 2 nights, roads were blocked. Tree branches crushed several cars in nour street.

I hope its not that bad for s england tonight. out children were off school for 3 days then as it was too dangerous to let wee ones out of the house!
