Since you started the 10 day trend, DeepDive, and now these livestreams, I have learned so much about weather forecasting, your jobs as forecasters, and the extreme amount of knowledge you meterologists have, p;lus you are all such brilliant presenters, giving us clear concise information, in a very easy to comprehend way, that I would love to see some of the other presenters doing these livestreams, such as Clare Nasir, Ellie, Greg , Jonathon all part of your great team + so many to mention. All in all the Met Office YT channel is top of my top ten favourite channels. Thanks all of you.👍😃
Modern weather forecasting can trace its routes back to a similar storm that came into the Irish sea on October 25/26th in 1859, sinking the clipper 'Royal Charter' on the last day of its journey back from Melbourne to Liverpool. That storm reached Beaufort scale 12 with 100mph winds and sank the Royal Charter with the loss of 450 passengers and crew. During that storm 133 ships were sunk, 90 damaged with the loss of 800 people. As a results, Captain Robert FitzRoy (of the Beagle 1828-1836) was the officer in charge of the meteorological office and established 15 coastal stations providing barametric readings and using the new 'electronic telegraph' replacing semaphore. This lead to the first gale warning service and evolved into the first weather forecasts published in the Times from 1861.
GREENHOUSE EXPLOSION WARNING!! Dont forget to open a vent a crack. Sudden gusts can cause a drop in pressure on the outside. If the pressure within the greenhouse cant equalise quickly BOOM! The glass panes can blow out. How do i know this?? Hmmm, you may well ask.
Yup.Same thing with houses in hurricanes. It is important to close your loft door tightly before opening windows external doors in your home as it increases the chance of the roof tiles moving. In this case it is the pressure changes flexing the structure until they fail or crack. My immediate neighbour now is already looking at replacing part of his new roof(only 3years old).
Missed the live as I was outside getting stuff tidied away and fixed down. After lunch I'll be setting up the backup generator and digging out the camping stove ready for the power cuts. North Devon.
when i put up my plastic greenhouse here in Northern ireland, (secured with stones and strings and pegs) my neighbor told me this will be gone before Christmas, i think he is right
Please, please take extra precautions if you’re in the red warning area. This storm is serious. Do not try to take any photos of the storm or anything.
@CeriJames23 98/99 comes to mind too, well roughly I was only a kid I remember alot if damage in land, although even as recently as 2018 believe people was lost to the sea... just frightening 🫣 people heed the warning
'87 happened in October so a lot of the big trees still had leaves, meaning they caught more of the force of the winds. At least now they're mostly bare so - fingers crossed - there won't be so much destruction even if the winds are just as strong. I still won't be going for any woodland walks though.
@metoffice thank you both Honor and Alex - I'm disappointed we didn't have a quiz! Would it be possible for Honor to save the one she made for when she's next on live with Alex D and maybe do that double quiz she was on about last week 😂 Also, Honor, please never stop being you! Laughed when she was trying to find the positives in the storm and Alex D wasn't a fan of the Kite flying idea 😂😂😂 Please more humour, these lives work well when it's more light hearted I think! I also have a question regarding the presenting - for the morning forecasts, do you presenters record this at the end of a night shift but change clothes, as I've noticed it tends to be the same presenter as whoever does the evening forecast! Also do you yourselves make the animations and slides, or do you get given them? Would like to see Kathryn and Jonathan appear on the lives too. Perhaps one week you could try and do a full quiz with everyone who presents the forecasts on TH-cam, even Dan Stroud! 😀
I run a weather station in Cheshire. Back in February 2020 I recorded the highest wind gust when a squall line passed through. The rain rate was 12” per hour. Bins blown all over the road. What causes a squall line and how common are they? Thanks!
Hi Met team 2 Notes, first is the sound is poorer than usual on this recording. Secondly the warning graphics on the app and the website are like spaghetti junction, it is very difficult to parse out what the warning is for, the area and other co-concurring warnings, we need better and more simple graphics's the overlay is going to confuse folk. I appreciate it's all hands on deck and you probably can't change them now but if there is a way to make them less confusing or to share more digestible graphics on other social media and via mainstream media please do so. Alex, Emma and Honour did a very good job communicating throughout this and they should be proud of themselves.
Seconded. There is a lot of information to get across visually, but I couldn't separate out the red warning area from the amber on the website, nor the social media platforms. Wind directions aren't stated in the written warnings information, which needs to be known when preparing for any storminess.
the last storm we had on the coast of fleetwood 5 weeks ago i have some heavey plant beds and the power of the wind liftid one up and the flower beds smashed in to the green house wher i live i dont know how it was possible its not happening tonite stay safe all i think we are in for a extremley windy eavining hopfully the weather will change for the better
The '87 storm i remember waking up on the morning after. I lived in southeast England, i was 9 years old. The housing estate where i lived, all the road names were named after trees. I lived in Hazel avenue. The whole estate, plus the cooking apple tree that was in my back garden, was flattened. Luckily the tree fell to the east, if it had fallen south, it would have hit the back of the house, where my bedroom was. Thankful it fell east and destroyed next doors greenhouse!! But, the rest of the estate got wrecked. A 150 year old, 120 foot tall conifer tree got blown over, it went through a 3 story block of flats, crushed them. Luckily no one was killed. It took years for all of the fallen trees to be cleared. The big green on the estate, still to this day, has the remains of a big oak tree that fell, Its 70% of its origanal lenght, so about 100 foot long, laying in the field. We can climb it, and sit on it. Savage storm 87 was. That was cused by the jet strem, it directed towards the ground a bit more than usual so the wind was extreme, extremely strong.
I'm in Portsmouth. Born in '79 so was in primary school in '87 and I remember it well. Three big trees down across the cul-de-sac we were in. School cancelled. Remember getting back to school and seeing all the roof tiles in the playground thinking, that would hurt if it hit you in the head. Those poor trees though. Big proud ones. Were replaced pretty quickly and the new saplings are well on their way to growing as tall as the others were. Just in time for the next hurricane. 😂
Me too, lived in Kent. Was 12 years old. My mum made me wait for two hours for the school bus until she conceded defeat and acknowledged the five trees down on the road.
I remember that.I was 17nin a post war prefab with my parents I thought the roof was gonna blow off at one point,luckily it never just got the guttering blown off which we got repaired.I was sleeping with my mum as I was terrified of the wind that night.
Enjoyed the chat but your audio levels are way too low (peaks are at -13dB). Someone should check the levels before going live, it's painful to the ears when switching to any other audio after yours!
Because I commute by motorcycle I’m acutely aware of the weather twice a day (12hrs apart). More often than not, it’s dry. I have an hypothesis that it rains less often/for shorter durations, but when it does it’s more torrential. Is there any evidence to support my hypothesis?
I noticed the high pressure that's moving in after the weekend will be on the warm side of the jet - My question is - Are there differences if high pressure occurs on the warm side compared to the cold side of the jet?
Why oh why does the met office take the trouble to draw the warning areas to exclude the Isle of Man. The island will be right in the centre of this storm and yet many viewers will look at your graphics and assume the IOM is not going to be affected.
Thanks Met Office. Because the average wind speed in Liverpool tomorrow will be about 25mph and you have issued an Amber warning 30,000 people will not be able to visit HMS Prince of Wales. Great work
@@tonyprice1526 What you have is just a feeling and nothing more, it doesn't reflect reality. A storm is a storm and we will get the speeds precisely as predicted just like the previous storms.
I do remember storms that happened without enough warning. The forecasters never downplayed them, and never fearmongered. We took notice and did the necessary, but placed ourselves at risk in so doing because of the lack of time to prepare. Hooray for modern weather forecasting, and the amazing tech and science that makes it possible! 😀
@@TheSkunkyMonk It's almost as if technology has advanced since then giving us much better warnings and measures for preparation than we ever had before.
@@KidneyMush Nobody said it was anything new. A storm is a storm regardless of how often they happen, the associated impacts are generally all the same. It's worth bearing in mind that people have unfortunately died during previous storms so there's a reason we have warnings in place.
People died during Storm Bert because they were out and about when the advice was to take precautions. Just because, on the whole people and property will be fine, doesn't make it less dangerous. You'd soon be complaining if there was no warning and your nearest and dearest was crushed by a tree or washed away.

The amount of times we've been told danger to life and someone goes and stands on the sea front is actually scary 😨
Some people seem to think it’s a joke although I think the last time we had serious wind was 1990 on this scale anyway
