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to be a few hours out of date.

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.



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

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

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