Could get blowy over the next few days. Met Office forecaster Grahame Madge said: “Ophelia is forecast to be the strongest ex-tropical system to affect the UK since Katia in 2011, in terms of wind gust speeds.
“Before Katia, Lili in 1996 had 92mph gusts in the Mumbles, south Wales. Ophelia is racing virtually north to Britain and will be a significant storm if it follows its expected track."
It won't take much for it to be nudged westwards - where it will miss us almost completely - or Eastwards, where it will clobber us, to use the technical term. It will have a lot of rain and the winds could get nasty. Time will tell.
