I believe it's traditional for the first letter of hurricane names to follow the sequence of the alphabet. So what's next? Hurricane Chugnut?

This is the current prediction for 00:00hrs Friday 16th December



This second storm will have a probable central pressure of arounf 945mb, this is exceptionally deep and only around 15mb off of the UK record set in 1884.

This looks like it will be equivalent to a category 3 hurricane.

This storm will most likely track through the English Channel and will affect not only most of the UK, but also Holland and the other low countries in Europe. the winds associated with this storm could be in excess of 130mph. This is sustained gusts over a 1 minute period. This will pull down trees, rip off roofs, windows in high rise flats blown in, fences taken down, power cuts lasting up to a week, most caravans destroyed if in the dirct wind. To give you an idea, Hurricane Ivan was a category 3 Hurricane.

What will be the cost to the economy?

Everyone knows that Mr Fish was talking about a comment from a view about a hurricane in Florida not Britain

Sounds like a great day to attempt a mini land yacht speed record which is currently 59.6 mph.

Pity I'm working.

Team of crack Morris Dancers, hitting it with sticks and ringing their bells.

How are you southern poofters going to deal with this ?

Probably post a thread about how my telephone line and broadband has been knocked out. Might even post a picture of the stream in my garden.

Last week, we had a few pints of heavy and offered our hurricane a fight in the carpark. It soon pissed off rather than get shagged by some horny, pissed scotsmen wearing skirts

Maybe you should all have a half a mild and see if you can deal with it by playing cribbage or something

It's aimed at the South of England, not the North. No flat capped wife beating cribbage players south of London.

Looks like most of us could be in for some gusts tonight and tomorrow

“The winds may not be nudging 150mph again but it will certainly produce the same destructive power as Thursday's storm.”

Tim said the forecasts showed the massive storm will arrive late on Monday with heavy rain across most parts of the country, followed by a very cold air mass, which will trigger sleet and snow.

The hurricane-force winds of at least 74mph will last through the whole of Tuesday and into Wednesday.

And Jonathan Powell of Positive Weather Solutions, who accurately warned of the huge scale of Thursday's storm earlier in the week, said they also had picked up the aggressive new storm in the Atlantic.

He told ClickGreen: “This storm will affect the entire nation, Monday will be a complete wash-out and whereas Scotland took the last storm on the chin – this will hit the whole of the country square-on.”

And this is what the chart looks like at 9pm tonight



Winds of at least 74mph on the beaufort scale are described as Excessive damage

I wonder how the trains will be running in the morning
