[Closed] Whats the wind like where you are?

It's like fast-moving smoke with bits in it in that London

Gusty.

Very gusty in west Yorkshire

had a very nice tail wind today and just got home before the monsoon hit

Vindy vindy down here on the Kent coast. Treacherous seas too, keeping them damn frenchies in port I hopes

We have had some exotic foreign air imported and is passing through with undignified haste.

Windfinder says gusts at 36 knots - the ride home was straight into it, so a bit slower than usual. Not sure I would fancy 100mph

House over the road has one less tree in the garden.

next door are 'stealing' my play bark.

Blowy a bit and yeah creating some fuel for the burner.

very windy here in burnley
lets hope it blows some of the chavs away !! 😆

Mad in Peebles

Blowing a bit in Edinburgh and that bin lid outside is going to keep opening and banging shut all night. One friend witnessed a roof being blown off and another has a rather large tree laying across his street.

I'm about to see if it's possible to cycle around Arthurs Seat.

It's more blowy than the Big Bad Wolf's breath.

I'm just glad I don't live in a house like MidlandTrailquestsGraham's precariously perched wooden house.

Toto, I've a feeling...

Gusty in Lancaster and on Morecambe prom it is blowing in every direction at once But nowhere near 100mph - maybe 50-60 at a push..

Not too bad here, compost bin has tried to escape again though and I suspect there'll be a few branches down in the woods on tomorrow;s ride.

I was shocking earlier. I flew up a hill in top gear this morning but came to a stand still on the way back down. Not too bad now.

"feels like more" than 100mph?!

Have you ever experienced 100mph winds?

Only gusting up around 18-20mph down 'yer in the West, enough to leave you out of breath trying to ride into it.

Have you ever experienced 100mph winds?

Once, after a lamb phall. Never again.

The mother in law has lost her chimney and nearly her car that was parked in the drive at the time.
We have trees down all over the place .Proper breezy.

PMSL!

I was expecting the very first reply to make a reference like this, I can't believe it took so many posts. STW is not what it once was 🙁

buxom and plentiful... 😳

Ringburn? Nasty. Needs Germolene to soothe things. Aloe Vera gel is cooling as well.

Ooh I tell you what I was right in trouble last week. Was keeping me awake at night.

Chewing Cardamom seeds sorted it right out.

I'm a bit worried about me tomatoes though. 😐

9mph, gusting @ 26 - I think that's exaggerated TBH

I've got a few aches and bruises after a great day's windsurfing at West Kirby yesterday.

95 kilos (courtesy of iDave) and I just managed to control a 4 metre sail on an 86 litre board*. There were times when it was force 9 for 10 minutes at a time. Some of the dedicated speedsailors were reaching phenomenal speeds down the wall. Well over 40mph, right next to concrete.

Bloody marvellous. That's not me, or yesterday. Yesterday was a lot wilder.

*That's equivalent to 8" suspension at both ends.

My Geordie mate used to say he was 'sat on a Japanese flag' after violent aftershocks from a curry.

Still in the caravan on the East yorks coast and its ****in rocking but not not for the reasons I was hoping!!!

Made it across the Forth Road Bridge just a few moments before they closed it. It was, umm, 'interesting' driving across it at 15mph and feeling the whole bridge sway and undulate - you could see it on other cars as they bobbed up and down.

Ooh nasty. Required stitches? 🙁

Smelly, in our front room...

Looks like Autumn here in Perthshire. Carpets of leaves all over the roads and trees down everywhere. Hell of a lot of rain as well

Very windy in Livi.

I was lucky to get home earlier from Edinburgh as they had suspended all of the trains, but then they said that the Bathgate train was running and I managed to get myself onto it, phew!

Lots of branches down and there is a big oak tree down by the road into our estate.

71 gusts at local Meto observation post at Boulmer. Impressive.

I dunno about today, but Sat night I was ontop of Scafell Pike in very very strong winds. I thought it was bad enough on Ben Nevis a few hours earlier. We had to hold onto rocks and keep as low as poss whilst it was gusting, and then quickly step over a few more rocks before it started again. That and the torrential rain put an early end to my 3 peaks challenge 👿 Got a tad lost on Scafell but viewranger came to our rescue.

just had a 45 minute power cut up in the highlands...

That'll be the Three Peaks Challenge then!

Have you ever experienced 100mph winds?

I experienced something over 100mph in Orkney a few years back. There are no trees there to break the wind. I had just put a tin roof on a shed that was big enough to house about 12 cars. It was open to the wind. The wind roar was terrifying. It just held, but we had to fill sandbags and lash them side to side as the nails were pulling out from the purlins.

The roar in our trees today was like a freight train.

Guess where i was today?

Romney marsh?

Cairngorm.Reached the Ptarmigan about 6.05pm.Not sure if i missed the worst of it or if the worst was to come.It seemed that the strongest winds were just north of Aviemore.The top of the traverse was frightening.The snow fence has been blown out (not sure if this happened today) but i was worried that it might kick up as i walked up past it.The wind seemed not too strong at that point but its once you come out of the traverse where the top of the M1 starts that it hits you.After reaching the Ptarmigan and taking a few pics and vids on the north facing side of the building it seemed to get worse by around 6.15pm. It started snowing so i decided not to hang around,waited for it to ease a bit and went for it.Got to the top of the traverse (wind chill from the ptarmigan to the top of the traverse hit in so quick) and managed to get down out of the point where the constant windspeed was at its worst.

In those winds,even a waterproof Ortlieb rucksack rolled over as well as possible couldnt keep the rain out.The drawcords on the hood of the jacket seemed fine on the way up but the hardware on the cords dont work at all in those windspeeds.The hood was cinched down to the max and the wind still got in and pulled everything open when walking head on into the wind.You would need caliper brake cable pinch bolts tightened down to keep them in place! God knows which jackets have pull cords that work in real extreme winds as they all seem to have similar plastic lock-off bobbins.

Was nice to walk up and down without bumping into anyone,though.

Very! 40 mile road ride was interesting tonight. Blown on to the other side of the road twice on the cat & fiddle, thankfully was hardly any cars about

quickest commute home ever 😀

11 floors up next to the Clyde and it sounds like it's getting worse. Probably not gusting as high as I'd guess but damn loud and fierce anyway!
