In the north of Cambs, the highest wind speed is at 9am (under the Met
Office's 3hr granularity). 26mph gusting 45mph, which is quite a bit
lower maximum than for London (eg 33/60 at Heathrow at 6am).
==========================

I really wouldn't take that as gospel - the UKMO warnings system tends to be
a few hours out of date. Also, this is a low that's still evolving and its
exact development and track still retains a significant degree of
uncertainty, even now. As far as one can tell, it looks like the low will
zip across the country more quickly than some models were suggesting a day
or so back with max gusts eg in Ely probably around 0300-0400. But that's
still 12 hours away (and subject to change with this sort of system that
even the high-res models have trouble in handling). For latest information
you could always check through this thread later on this evening:
