Thanks Ian, I was fearing a lot worse in my area, gusts to 50-60mph max not too bad........
I’ve studied these events for many years. A significant majority of the damage (trees, buildings) with these storms occurs from one or two rogue peak gusts (often associated with trough passage or in rare occasions sting jet impacts).
In a general swathe of 60mph gusts you might get a rogue local 70mph gust and off go your ridge tiles.
Here in The Solent I’m advising against travel tomorrow afternoon but the ‘highlight’ could be the coast. The overtopping still high tide is going to be something else.
