Maldon Hurricane

They think they’ve got it bad in Tampa Florida.

Checked the weather this morning and it looks like Armageddon with 2500 mile an hour winds

[Mervyn and Trish]

From other friends seems it's grim in Nottingham and Hythe too. I blame Michael Fish. And Brexit.

At least you don't have rain

Clear blue skies here in lovely Shropshire

I think the BBC weather IT team have been infected with the same virus that infects the P&O ones.

[Stephen]

Oh so it’s a tech glitch.

Bu99er. That means I’ve got to fill in the twelve foot deep hole I was making for the underground shelter.


Where’s me compo form.

Yes BBC have confirmed they got it wrong with a quote from one online newspaper.....

"Writing on X, BBC Weather said: "You may have noticed some data issues on our app and website.
"We are working hard to fix it quickly. Sorry - please bear with us."

Meanwhile weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was forced to address the confusion live on BBC Breakfast."

[Mervyn and Trish]

The sad thing is the Facebook generation will have believed that forecast.

Well the BBC weather forecast certainly got Storm Éowyn correct, they have been forecasting the high winds for a couple of weeks or more.
As I watch the reports on the TV news it certainly look bad over Ireland and Scotland.
Here in the east it been a lovely sunny day and windy, we went shopping this morning and it was pleasant to walk around.

We have been averaging 16.5 mph winds today. We had gusts in 34/35 mph range earlier today but it seems to be dying down for the time being
