Feeling rather autumnal? Remants of ex-hurricane Ernesto are with us this morning bringing strong winds. Staying blustery for many through the day with gusts strong enough to perhaps snap branches off trees. 🍃🌳

With #StormLilian rapidly developing tonight there could a nasty spell of very strong winds in NW Wales and NW England early tomorrow. Gusts generally 50-60mph but potentially up to 80mph for a short time. bbc.co.uk/weather/articl…

It has been an unusually windy morning for some of us as #StormLilian sweeps through. Trees in full leaf at this time of year can bring problems as Simon King explains...💨🍃

No greater joy at this time in the morning than nailing the Shipping Forecast out time at 05:30:00 🙌 Allotted 9 mins but the forecast length changes daily so always have to judge it by slowing down/speeding up at points. Hitting the 05:30:00 exact is not easy! 😂

With summer nearly over, how was it for you? Rubbish or not too bad? I’ve had a look along with how our perceptions are changing of what summer ‘should’ be like because of climate change ⬇️ bbc.com/weather/articl…

One last day of summer (meteorologically speaking), and it's looking pretty decent for most of us. 🌤️ Thundery downpours move in tonight and tomorrow though. I've got the full forecast on BBC Breakfast 👍

After a very dry August for parts of S Eng and S Wales, we could see well over a month's worth of rain here by the end of Friday... bbc.co.uk/weather/articl…
