In the north of Cambs, the highest wind speed is at 9am (under the Met
Office's 3hr granularity). 26mph gusting 45mph, which is quite a bit
lower maximum than for London (eg 33/60 at Heathrow at 6am).
==========================

I really wouldn't take that as gospel - the UKMO warnings system tends
to be a few hours out of date.

A remarkably accurate prediction though... both the timing and the wind
speeds (see below).

It's OK, I went and did my errands, the ones people were advising
against, and didn't encounter any bad weather. Back home now.

I came back via Cambridge by car, very little traffic. Winds about 20/35
according to the chart for yesterday, below. No rain.

Not to bad up here in Cambridge peaked at 50 knots just before 8 this
morning.
