Let's follow how things will develop. At the moment the warning is this one:

"
The Met Office continues to expect an intense low pressure system to move east across the UK during Monday, bringing severe gales and potentially damaging gusts across some areas, more particularly the west and south of England and Wales. Southerly winds are expected to strengthen during the early hours of Monday to give severe gales for a time, coinciding with the morning rush hour in some areas. An additional swathe of severe westerly gales will follow through the morning and afternoon, principally affecting southwest England and the south coast of England. Gusts of 60 to 70 mph are likely with the possibility of 80 mph gusts on exposed coasts and hills. Disruption to transport and power supplies is possible and there may be damage to buildings and trees. In addition high waves and flooding may affect coastal areas in the south. This warning is likely to be superseded by FLASH messages.

Leon, let us know
Strauch...
here in Bristol it was not as bad as expected... The maximum gust reached 40 mph last night...much slower than (for instance) 18th January 2007 when we reached 51.6 mph.
We had some heavy showers last night and this morning...but also few sunny spells. The wind blows still quite hard, but the worse has gone already. I have heard on TV and Radio about some damages to houses in Devon and Cornwall.
The data to underline today is anyway the pressure which reached its maximum since 2004 with 958.1 hPa...
The previous record was 966 hPa on the 2nd of December 2005...
