This will send the 1976 brigade into meltdown.

Note: the mean temperature includes nighttime temperatures and this year the nights were particularly warm.

#WarmestSummerEver

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

Highest gusts so far today (since midnight) in NW England. #StormBoelo

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

Some of the highest wind gusts in #Scotland. Over 120mph on Cairngorm Summit.

@OldhamCouncil @OldhamActive Tough against the wind. Good luck all.

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

The steady, strong and gusty westerly continues here. Should see a trend down in gusts from 2-3pm onwards. #StormBoelo

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

@Beed_mcfc Gale-force gusts and showers. Hope you didn't bother. I cancelled mine yesterday.

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

More heavy rain to come over the coming hours. Some places have seen an inch now. Squall-line on the back edge too. Winds picking up further. #StormBoelo

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

Sunny spells & some blustery showers as planned this morning but the notable feature is the wind still with 50-60mph gusts.

The wind will begin to ease slowly from mid-afternoon onwards with gusts back to 30-40mph by this evening then fading overnight. #StormBoelo

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

@OliverDrake79 Hope it goes well. 👍

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

Rain easing away from the west now.

Turning very windy in the middle of the night with severe gales.

@fullcirclenwcic A struggle in the wind but showers around too.

SUNDAY

Amber and yellow warning in place 💨

A very windy day with locally severe gales, especially in exposure and along the coast.

The strongest winds of the day will have come during the early hours but it will still howl until evening.

Sunny spells & scattered showers, some heavy. Feeling cold.

Max 11°C Min 5°C Max Gusts 40-60mph

@ChadWeather 75knots or 86mph. Measured on the weather station on the Fleetwood NCI at Rossall Point. 😬 the joys of living on the coast.

@SteveHeighway1 @joshc2401 @mikegervais @LFC If they postpone it will be a health & safety decision like you say. Worst of the winds were in the night but still gusting 40-50mph this afternoon, something we've seen before and games weren't called off.

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

You're not comparing like-for-like there in terms of wind values.

The first one shows wind gusts as the values you see (normally average speeds) switch to gusts on the BBC app when gusts go over 39mph.

The second image doesn't predict any gusts over 39mph so the values displayed stay at the average speed. Stupid I know.

The Met Office website shows average and gusts whatever the speed.

Here is Liverpool vs. Manchester.

@ColinValla I'll still be very windy until evening (eases by then) but the game shouldn't be called off IMO for 40-50mph gusts.

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

@marv72 Depends where you live and what forecast you've been watching. Strongest winds to come overnight and into tomorrow.

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

@metoffice *your 👍

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

Windy up north today (mph). #StormBoelo

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

Brutal out there.

An inch of rain now here.

#StormBoelo

[Oldham Weather @ChadWeather]

@NLLowdown Not surprised with those rainfall rates.
