Just heard the weather of the last couple of days described on BBC
radio as the "...worst September storms for 30 years...", which, if
true, sort of answers my previous question of just how unusual is
this sort of weather. what might arrive on our doorsteps for the
closing months of 2012?

I only had video of Peter Gibbs but no audio and was wondering what
they were using to classify the "worseness". I saw a 973mb on the
chart which made me wonder whether they were simply using central
pressure as a proxy for "worseness"...

------------------------------
My thoughts entirely Richard. What criteria were used to define "worst"
September storm?


Depth of low, impact from wind/rain and size of area or number of
people affected were all factored in I believe.

Thank you Graham and Adam - I should have read the thread :-(
