Darn I've always loved the name Arwen ever since I heard it in the Lord of the rings movies.Jeez, just looked at the forecast for today and winds over 50mph expected until 16:00! I don’t know who this Arwen bint is but she sure as hell has a temper
Given last night i’d give you even money it was actually Lapland.
It's getting super windy now. When I went out earlier it was raining and I saw a outdoor sign for Leon's be blown off out of the frame and the waves of the beach were much bigger.

I’m in Cheshire we had a caravan blow into someone’s garden. I work nights and driving home I was avoiding bins and one garden had some road barriers blown into it.

To me seasonal would be anything up to around 30/40mph as that seems to be pretty frequent for where I live every year, anything up to 70mph would be a occasional small storm an anything above would be a storm since having that is every few weeks, I think if its going be over 40mph it should be worth mentioned on news just so people can prepare to tie things down or take precautions but anything under shouldn't, I know some channels like to go a bit over board when the winds only going be like 30mph but again I think it's because of what happened when that guy said there wasn't going be a storm an one did hit so I guess better safe than sorry
What I don't understand is the need to name them, until a few years ago they were just called storms or gusts, we definitely don't get anything like America so I see why they are named in America to keep records, yes we get some roofs down an trees an sadly some tragically die but having been in America in New Jersey when Sandy hit we are no where near that level of storm, that was like a bulldozer when it hit

That just means more cold here in the East Midlands-but the north-east may be hit by another hurricane!

Is it over now? Looks amazing outside for me, blue sky's, no wind, I actually slept OK, got woken at 2am when I think it was at its worst then fell back over prob just after half 2 so I didn't hear it again, doesn't look to be any damage here either, got a couple of next doors decorations in the garden an some empty plant pots but sadly no trampoline lol

For where I am it's definitely normal an this will continue now into Jan/Feb, for me it's kind of calm the now which means this is it starting, I'll give it a week or two an the 80mph+ winds will be coming
