Pity there is not a tv camera in my back garden and down my seafront

Southern railways shut down for the day.

I took my small dog for a fly earlier.



It's a bonkers
storm. So far very lucky.
 
The journalists and media are just looking for a story, the people to blame for the hysteria are the Met Office who started naming gales and severe gales incorrectly as storms for dramatic effect 7 years ago, they also introduced yellow, amber and red weather warnings which are also very dramatic and are regularly applied to everyday winter low pressure systems and typical wet weather.

That said Eunice is actually meteorologically classed as a storm, the first to hit England since the naming started in 2015. Average wind speeds in several places along the south coast have exceeded 48knots this morning which is the threshold for a storm on the beaufort wind scale. Luckily it is more localised than the Met Office forecast and the rest of England appears to be experiencing wind speeds less than gale force, especially north of the M4 Corridor.

Did think this, do they not use the Beaufort scale for on land?

Its used for both.

As quoted by the Royal Metrological Society.

The Beaufort Scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.
