It's just weather.

the storm had rapidly developed in strength in a process known as explosive cyclogenesis, or what some refer to as a "weather bomb".

Weather predicted = cloudly - rain between 10 and 12 - then cloud with sunny spells. Rain from 2pm. Wind throught out the day between 28 to 30 kms.

Actual = not a cloud in the sky from 8 this morning. Wind 9 - 11 kms.

Last time we were told we would be experiencing gale force winds, we battoned down the hatches and never went out. The gale force winds never arrived.

Since this post started I have kept an eye on the BBC weather forecast site and the forecast for today has already changed 3 times.

In reality, working half way up the Pennines and it's slightly overcast, partially sunny with a mild breeze.

Best weather for quite a while. 8)
The media/forecasters were predicting a weather bomb with severe weather to hit the North and West.

Lucky for some. It's been on and off heavy gusts of wind and hammering down with large hail.
No good for working in. >:(
