Dennis the Menace!
The RNLI has warned of another storm about to arrive this weekend, plus reminding us of the bravery and skill of Hastings Lifeboat crew last weekend (website), that is Storm Dennis! Forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain, people are encouraged "to exercise extreme caution... especially along exposed cliffs, and piers during Storm Dennis." Although Hastings Pier, I presume, will not be open this weekend.
Today (Saturday) in Hastings, wind speed is already reaching nearly 30 mph, with gusts of over 40 mph, and by the middle of the afternoon heavy rain will have set in with wind speed close to 40 mph and gusts of up to 60 mph (Met Office). Tomorrow (Sunday), there will be wall to wall heavy rain for most of the day until the evening, and the wind speed is forecast to reach up to 40 mph with gusts of up to 65 mph in the morning, and down below 50 mph later (Met Office).
Please be careful folks, and I'd advise you to leave your surfboards at home...
