It's been one of those days when the weather has been the news.
Your photos and stories have helped once again to give us a picture of what's been happening.
But it's also one of those days when I wonder whether we've been too focused on southern England.
Sky's senior weather presenter Francis Wilson says: "The forecasters got it right on this occasion. We said southern coastal counties would be hit by storm-force winds - and that is what has happened. There has been structural damage and trees down.
"But most of Britain has escaped the violent winds and so, for most of Britain and Ireland, it has been over-played."
So I can understand those of you who are sending us pictures of sunny scenes.

All the weather forecasts concerning the current storm stated that the severe weather would be in the South and so it is.
The forecasters have got it right again.

Is there no other news to report on apart from the weather? It is March, for God's sake, so only to be expected as it is a seasonal occurrence. Everyone is sick to death of hearing about the exaggerated situation. It's becoming as bad as Prince Harry's return last week.

What is all the fuss about? Having a breeze of wind down the South of England. We are onbaord an oil rig North East of Shetland Islands and have that weather up here for more or less the last 3 months but, as soon as England get it, it's on the news for a whole day.
Kind regards
