#StormÉowyn might be one to watch.
In under 24 hours it would have been carried from the west Atlantic to the UK and Ireland coastlines.
It would drop it's pressure rapidly.
To be counted as explosive cyclogenesis it needs to drop 24 millibars of pressure in 24 hours.

I see Gregg Wallace's proxies are testing a 'maybe he's undiagnosed autistic?' line. No. These are not the issues with interaction which autistic people I know have. I dealt with such behaviour working in HR. It was conscious power play and boundary testing, calculated to undermine and belittle.

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS.
He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself.
We really should be talking about prison.
