One to replace the previous pinned post - there’s a whole load of weather on this page so feel free to stick around if you want to with a sprinkle of aurora whenever that peps up. I hope this picture of me and a goose from this morning is suitable for now!

947.9 hPa is the October minimum pressure reading record for the British Isles; Storm Boelo may get rather close - it depends on the pressure readings on the hour (which I believe are used for records rather than minute-by-minute recordings).

The last of my #StormAusten video spam. Powerful gusts, but also a very strong sustained wind.

Winds have ramped up significantly within the last hour with some powerful gusts of wind here in Hayle, Cornwall. Also a lot of power flashes, very frequent. #StormAusten

The centre of Storm Austen is starting to become visible on radar; the fronts further east are helping to douse southern England. The strongest winds are currently on the NW flank offshore, but we have some strong southerlies in play (67 mph at Scilly St Mary's).

Nowcast model for 23 BST shows these stronger winds offshore; they will move onshore after the centre of the low runs through Cornwall. Rough timings for the strongest winds are around 04 BST on Scilly and 05/06 BST for Cornwall.

Very neat frontal cloud from Storm Austen - a clear indicator as to when its impacts will start to be felt.

Stunning - the Met Office FAX chart has Storm Austen just offshore the south coast at a pressure of 978 hPa at 06 UTC tomorrow. Cornwall looks set to record wind gusts of 60 - 70 mph widely, and upwards of 80 mph in more exposed areas.
