wst[26] - RED WIND WARNING {8th Jan 2026} [Explored]

The models are now showing an episode of explosive cyclogenesis tomorrow (UKMO model output suggests 26 mb in 18 hours; from 997 mb at 0600hrs down to 971 mb around midnight). as Storm Goretti tracks up the English Channel.
Therefore the UK Met Office has extended the Yellow wind warnings along the South Coast and into SW Wales, and the Scilly Isles / Cornwall Amber Warning for Wind has now been increased to a RED WARNING ...

Batten down the Hatches !!!!

Seriously, take very great care and be prepared for VERY dangerous conditions.
RED WARNINGS indicate that there is a threat to life.
The Amber & Yellow warnings for ice, rain & snow in the Midlands etc are still in place.
