@thebotanicalforecaster: 🚨 STORM WARNING🚨 As a meteorologist by trade & seeing chatter from you gardeners & allotmenteers about the storms, I thought I should give a quick overview! If you didn't realise there were storms coming, well now there is no excuse 😆 Storm Austen: 💨End of tonight into tomorrow morning tracking through the English Channel 💨 SW England & Wales mainly impacted 💨 70mph+ wind gusts for SW Wales & Devon/Cornwall coasts 💨 60mph+ gusts for inland W Wales, Somerset, Devon & Cornwall 💨 50mph+ gusts for most of Wales & English Channel coastal counties 💨Blustery elsewhere except for Scotland & N Ireland Storm Boelo: 💨Strengthening winds Saturday daytime, peaking overnight into Sunday as it tracks across the far north 💨Worst impacts mostly across Scotland, N Ireland & NW England 💨70mph+ gusts for Highlands & Islands 💨60mph+ gusts more inland for W Scotland, and along coasts of NW Ireland & NW England 💨50mph+ widely for Scotland away from west coast, Wales, northern England, as well as SW England & southern English coasts 💨40mph+ elsewhere A lot of rain for tomorrow and this weekend! 🌧60-80mm of rain likely by the end of the weekend for SW Scotland, Cumbria, Wales & SW England. Higher totals locally possible. 🌧40-60mm widely away from the Midlands and the East 🌧Soils wetter in the north and west may mean some local flooding is seen! 🌳 Trees still have a lot of leaves for the time of year & there could be greater damage as a result 👀 What you need you to do in your gardens 👀 👉 Tie in new growth to protect those stems - especially roses 👉Stake young trees to prevent snapping - they need something to brace against 👉Secure your zippy greenhouses - noone wants to see your new autumn seedlings all over the floor after this weekend 😭 👉Lift your pots - your newly planted bulbs will thank you for not sitting in soggy compost! You have been warned! These are the simple details but they can change, so do keep an eye on your local forecasts. wxcharts.com #ukweather #storm #gardentok #gardenlife #gardening101 storms stormausten stormboelo strong winds windy heavy rain
