It looks like you could be in for some really rough weather about Thursday or Friday:

I think you'ld need a sharpie to include the UK, beyond a coastal town or two, but more of Northern Ireland, and all of Ireland itself. But there may well be more movement. I'm over the far side, so less at risk. Weather preparing for Brexit no doubt.
...at least an over under express rifle.
Last time they sent one of those things over to us it was a wimp by the time it arrived That was Humberto.
At the moment the Met Office are not really commenting, only the red top tabloids are worrying. Met Eireann is a Tad worried as Ireland does seem to be directly in the currently projected path.
get the met office app for your phone, and have real time weather warnings for your GPS location, and updated 99% super computer modelled hourly weather reports [ miss abit of drizzle when the sky is light grey ]
Just checked the Met Office and BBC Weather websites for my location - worst it says for Thur/Fri is cloudy, which is a relief as we have a planned power cut Friday and I was going to take my car in for its service which involves wandering around window shopping for hours :-( I hate window shopping even in good weather.
My phone plugs in to a socket in the wall And ithe only eaxperience I have of GPS systems is having lived for 6 years watching articulated lorries messing up through traffic in the village because the drivers would rather rely on their GPS system and ignore the large road sign of the roundabout at the bottm of the hill which says in large letters "Road Unsuitable for HGVs"
no, the Hu have been and gone in June.. I did'nt manage to get tickets...
wait. you were talking about the Mongolian Metal band, the Hu...... Right?
(seriously, worth checking out)
you should head to your local three shop and pickup a cheap mobile and have free data in 170 countries for £15 a month with unlimited wifi hotspot and bluetooth tethering to your laptop so you never need a public network, the wall socket is for a PC, not a phone
Why My wall socket has 2 connections, one to a BT phone connection and one to a dedicated ethernet socket for a router. I moved from the previous location, I now live in a 170 year old stone built house with18-20 thick walls, so wifi is not going to be reliable. We had fun watching the poor trainee climbing the telegraph pole to connec the house to the telephone system, first time he had ever done it and it was in the middle of a snow storm with the wind blowindg. (Did I mention the we live in the southern foothills of the Brecon Beacons mountain ranges - at 1200 feet above sea level - and this is a windy little village) I have to make sure my radio controlled clocks are in a direct line to a window, else they won't work. I rarely go out so don't need a mobile phone. I use a desk top computer. (have 2 but only use one)
The previous house was a bit younger, probably around the turn of the century (18th to 19th century) but still stone built and thick walls don't seem to agree with smart phones.
Mobile phone? Why?
Mobile coverage in my little valley in Kent is zero. Have to climb to the top of the garden to get a weak signal for O2. No other network has any signal. Mobiles are utterly worthless to us, for all that we live 3 miles from a town of 50000.
In this area it's currently a bit breezy, and a bit damp. But we really had our last heavy rain in May 2018, and we need a good bit over the next few months. We average 20-23 inches a year, which is what meteorologists classify as 'arid', giving us less rain per head of population than that notably wet country 'Egypt'... Doesn't fit with the stereotype of England, does it?
Swap you This was last week, next valley over Mind you being up here we watch the rain water run past us, going down to the valleys. It has acctually stopped raining today, first day for a week without any rain (so far)
you must have used EE, the most worthless telecom in the UK, you can get 3G anywhere in the uk you can get freeview television, as 3G uses the same mast's and has booster's throughout cities and town's ontop of roof's
4G is useless everywhere and 3x slower, with first time connection spikes or 20MB/s, while if you download 10GB from steam, 4G would take a week, while 3G runs at a constant 10MB/s with 3G+ and take's 3 hours, 3G on three and good old tmobile before EE came along, run's faster then all VDSL, without the full fibre deal, the ping is also lower then landline's
talktalk landline's download speed is capped at 1.25MB/s, while on three and tmobile you can download at 2.8MB/s on 3G using the full 10MB/s connection rate
Up until last year we only had GPRS and that depended on which side of the loch you were and this is a village. Now we have 3G but that is also dependent on where your house is :)
.
And you probably live in a city - thoses of us who don't have a far more realistic view of mobile coverage and the usefulness of mobile phones. I've 2 (work and personal) and if I am lucky I can get one bar standing outside on either network in good atmospherics, no one on any network can get a signal in here. I rarely turn either on unless I'm traveling. Mobile phones are not the answer to everything for everyone.
From the latest predictions Lorenzo may cross Ireland and proceed through Wales and England as an extratropical storm.
