100 mile and hour winds to batter UK tonight - 4th Jan 2012

It's winter.

We always get Gales in the winter.

Big fucking deal.

Ok mate, put your fucking handbag away you miserable fucker.

We dont always get gales in the winter, the last time the South of the UK got such strong winds was in the 80's.

Stop spouting bullshit.

Electric not long back on in east coast of N Ire.
PVC has stripped of on side of house from yesterdays storm hitting neighbours car :-(.
Winds picking up again now with heavy rain. Think the gusts supposed to peak between 6pm -10pm tonight.

stay safe everyone and if you have animals make sure you keep them safe to

How is it bullshit you pleb? It's all over the fucking news.

Get a life will you.

And just to show you how much of a big fucking deal it it, 2 people died in the winds yesterday, one of them was in Kent.

Stay safe everyone!!!

Stay safe everyone!!!

any updates boys and girls?

Yeah sure, the wind has been somewhat strong here in the south, along with side-ways rain and today the chem tankers were out in some force, which became overcast, gray and gloomy. At the moment i have a plastic sheet covering my old Alfa, the wind was not strong enough to remove it and the sheet is only taped down.

LMFAO, it's fuckin England you dick, it's a bit windy alright.

We wont be feeling the full force in the South till well after midnight.

We never get anything exciting down here :-( what happened to all the thunder storms? I remember loads when i was growing up, we've had bugger all in the last 10 years!

Ha ha ha!!! That made me laugh!!

Are you sure?

Echo predicts 29.9mph winds.

I'm guessing you're under 25 or else a fucking moran.

Wind gusts may reach 60 mph in the South tonight which is no big deal.

Learn some weather, moran.

I remember when you guys got on here and said our country couldn't take care of New Orleans after Katrina.
That Katrina storm was a Killer.
Lets see how you pussies handle 100mph winds.

Very true.
Got plenty of storms in Notts where i used to live, but since moving to the West Country, there's practically nothing, extreme weather wise that is

I live about half a mile from the sea cliffs on the east coast.
The front of my house is at right angles to the coast, my telephone wires streach across the road to the post.
When it's windy they whistle
judging by the pitch,
windy
bloody windy
fookn windy
CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIST.... BEING ABOUT FORCE 8 GALE.
It's bloody windy at the moment, and easterly, I can hear the sea.
Honest folks, I've being tenting in a family tent in worse, and within the last 10 yrs.

hope your house ends up in the sea .. for being so thick to own one there ...

It's nice that you've tried to join in.

This is not Katrina.

this isn't a pissing contest, you know?

we're all fucked, worldwide.

i have a theory.

all these volcanic eruptions, this past few years and ongoing right now, have pumped millions and millions of tons of two very potent gases into the atmosphere.

Carbon Dioxide, and Sulphur Dioxide

C02, being the heavier denser gas, has settled in the lower atmosphere, and is now warming the entire planet, at this LOWER level.

Just look at all the threads going on about how mild it is EVERYWHERE, especially in the northern hemisphere. I'm suspecting this might be a result of the Grimsvotn volcanic eruption primarily. Or at least that is the one that tipped us over the c02 limit for keeping us warm in the northern hemisphere anyway.

the lower atmosphere is where our weather happens, and the C02 is keeping us warm.

Now then, the Sulphur Dioxide, and there has been a fuckload of it from all the eruptions that have thrown stuff into the upper atmosphere, has combined with minuscule water droplets in the UPPER atmosphere to form a veil of Sulphuric Acid droplets, and that is reflecting sunlight, hence all the 'the sun is very bright white' threads.

EXACTLY what you'd expect to see if that happened.

what THAT is doing is cooling the UPPER atmosphere by reflecting back into space sunlight, which is what is causing the bright white glare I think.

so, what do we have?

an anomalously cool layer, overlying an anomalously warm layer?

so, what do you get?

Intense winds, on a huge scale? Sort of like what happens in Tornado alley, but on a FAR larger scale?

what are we seeing? Intense winds?

the planet is TRYING to correct the imbalance in heat, and it could get VERY ugly imo.

in fact it COULD initiate an ice age in my opinion, as more and more warm air gets sucked up into the cool layer through the intense low pressure systems battering us at the moment, could we actually hit a point where the system corrects all at once, and huge masses of ultra cold upper level air descends below the masses of warm air violently blowing around and up into the cold level above?

perhaps volcanoes initiate ice ages AND end them?

this was a thought that occurred to me today. probably totally wrong, but just putting everything together, the bright sun threads, the warm winter threads, all the volcanoes, etc etc.

perhaps THIS is what they know?

If I'm right, I'm doomed.



a couple more large eruptions, and we might be in a hell of a lot of trouble

at least those of us north and south of the tropics, anyway, and that's a LOT of us.

am on the east coast not far from the humber winds are prety bad ere blowing the trees like fuck sounds pretty bad outside glad am sat nice and cosy

Ok then smart arse, when can you remember a time when we had 100mph winds more than once during a winter in the UK?

You should read "not by fire but by ice" and you will find that your theory is not that much different to that of Robert Felix the author, but he also adds in underwater volcanoes, and also postulates the trigger for all of the is the shifting magnetic field.
Check out the movement of the magnetic field from 2000 to 2010.

Very surprised if gusts hit 100mph tonight, 60 seems the max recorded so far, been reading here

Like your usual drivel,
I was not going to bother responding, but then I noticed your sig...gives you verbals does it? seems so.

Looked at my phone hour by hour report for my area south-west of london... max wind speed 36mph at 0.00
