Homme Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Definitely the worst I've experienced in my current house (4 years). The wind just funnels down a hill and hits us almost straight on. No damage that I know of yet. Wonder if the dog fancies being a kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Ryanair flight from Seville has just aborted its approach to Edinburgh Airport. A number of the flights seem to have problems with their approach speed, i.e. the wind is slowing them down too much so the pilot is having to add some thrust which is affecting their descent speed. Normally the approach over Cramond/Silverknowes sees planes at 1,000-1,200ft as they come off the Forth, but most seem to be coming in at double that altitude. Don't know where it's off to now.

Ulysses Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 31 minutes ago, Tazio said: They’ve just updated the wind warning for north Scotland to red. That’s 100mph. I saw a post on an Irish weather forum about a gust of 176 km/h (about 110 mph) somewhere near Ben Nevis. Apparently an hour ago the centre of the storm was 50 miles north-west of Stornoway.

Flying into Skiathos in Greece which is a notoriously short runway. So much so that planes couldn’t take off with a full fuel load so you’d stop at Thesalonika to top up. Plane came in to land in a storm and got slammed up as the wheels touched then slammed back down. Thought we were going to crash big time. Got off to see burst tyres. Scary.
