Throughout the course of today I have watched the visible satellite images come in with an increasingly spectacular depression forming off Ireland. This thing is poised to deepen into a 940 to 944mb monster. This is one of several this winter to have deepened below 950, literally unheard of in our lifetime and the hits just keep on coming well into next week too as yet more appear to be on the way after this one. In saying that, this is ‘should’ be the biggy.

The worrying thing about this is that this may cause big damage on an already weakened and very venerable SW coast. Throw 30ft seas and 70-80mph winds up against hundreds of miles of loose, weakened sea wall and we could see many more chunks of sea wall get washed away, along with rail tracks that sit directly behind them.

Here is a stunning visible satellite image as night falls over Europe.

Here’s the met office surface chart at midnight tonight!

Forecasted 10 metre wind gusts tomorrow. Note their gusting 60-70kts along the Irish, SW England coast. That’s 70-90mph

Models suggest 50ft seas off Ireland and the UK tomorrow.

Once this thing, more wet and windy weather follows throughout next week.
