    You never want to experience " phenomenal" seas ever. 12 metre seas predicated off the south coast. That can kill ships

    Normally travel over to France this time of the year - and have been on high seas (not pleasant sometimes) I see the Oscar Wilde went out this evening but should make it across ahead of the storm - can only slightly imagine the chaos this will bring out at sea - phenomenal is a very good word!

    Is anyone with satellite dishes and aerials outside their homes be badly affected from tomorrow's storm?

    My own dish and aerial on the house faces itself in front of a main road at Blackrock in Dublin.

    It is bolted into the house but not secure with other restraints. Will that be a problem for tomorrow?


    Sky dish? It’s perforated for wind (not storms but should be ok enough)

    +1 to this.

    They probably wouldn't have had much revenue taken in tomorrow anyway, so it may have cost them more in overheads anyway.

    It simply means the storm is assuming a formation shaped like Sting's beard.

    I have inflammation in my sinuses the past while. I've been to the doc and had antibiotics which worked, but the infection slowly returned. I have the most incredible pressure in my head currently. Could it be related to the weather?

    Very likely. I tend towards sinusitis-y and humid, low-pressure weather always makes my head feel heavy and pressured. That's how I was today. Not pleasant.

    you may be onto something here, i too actually often feel a build up of pressure in my head in certain conditions when being outside, i've always thought it was just me or i was imagining something

    All government departments, schools and colleges closed tomorrow band you think it's hype.
    You've obviously not read the technical thread you keep taking about or you've read the one on the motors forum and not the weather forum!

    It's a bit of a storm in a teacup isn't it! I think it's just blowen out of proportion tbh.
