Storm Ciara is an enormous, developing low pressure system, energised by intensely cold polar air descending south, currently over Canada and the US, driving the jet stream to very high wind speeds. There is a rare National Severe Weather Warning in place for the entire UK.

| Jet stream conditions for this weekend are driving severe storm Ciara. |
By Sunday lunchtime, wind gusts up to 112km/h are forecast. Gusts around 100km/h will be with us all the way from Saturday afternoon until the end of Tuesday - a depressingly long time to suffer such tempestuous conditions.
Inevitably, all antennas have been lowered to reduce the chance of damage.
So, there will be no blogging activity for the next few days! See you on the other side, unless the roof blows off!
Luckely the storm arrives sunday late afternoon. I need my antennas for the PACC contest this weekend. At least till the end at 12 UTC. After the contest I will immidiatly lower everything. Good luck 73, Bas
