The BBC/Met Office have been overhyping the latest “Storm”, Lillian:

Emley Moor is a highly exposed 800ft hill in W Yorkshire, with a TV mast on top:
Wind speeds there are not representative.
Even at Bingley, itself an exposed location, the highest gusts recorded were just 23mph, and sustained winds of just 11mph were no more than a breeze.
We were out all day in the nearby Peak District, and certainly did not get blown away. So why is the BBC/Met Office pretending we were all savaged by a storm yesterday?
It gets worse!
There were also warnings of a month’s worth of rain arriving in the south yesterday. In the event there were a few heavy showers around, but that was it.
Typical bank holiday weather in other words!
