The Met Office weather warning is still for between 0005 and 2100, promising an update "Sunday morning". Rather unhelpful if they are reasonably certain that the gusts will peak in the early morning
A fair and valid point. And one she has raised too ... am off to the NFL at Wembley, so will make a call on how I feel after that (she'll be in the air by then(; and probably still set the alarm for 0430 and make a final call there.
