A weak tornado affected Portchester, Hampshire, just after midnight on 23 October, with a 1.6 km land track. It was associated with heavy showers that moved inland from the Channel, linked to Storm Austen. More details to follow after the analysis has concluded.

The last of my #StormAusten video spam. Powerful gusts, but also a very strong sustained wind.

Winds have ramped up significantly within the last hour with some powerful gusts of wind here in Hayle, Cornwall. Also a lot of power flashes, very frequent.

We have been sent this incredible footage by Lisa Camp that appears to show a waterspout arriving on the seafront in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex on Sunday (18th October) with several small vortices at the surface, all spinning anticlockwise inside one shared inflow.

Windy in the southwest of England and Wales tonight, with 50-60 mph gusts possible around exposed coasts
Lighter winds further east at first on Wednesday, before winds quickly strengthen and spread eastwards, with 40-50 mph gusts possible inland

This is footage from Walton Pier, kindly sent to TORRO by Shane Swan this morning from yesterday's event. We are still working to confirm exactly what may have occurred, but the last two clips could show the track of a waterspout that may have made landfall around 11:40 BST.

A frozen ice box up in Aboyne this morning. Lows close to -5°C which is exceptionally cold for this point in October. Smashed the date record and not too far off from a monthly record.
