It says midnight on Thursday - I assume it is tonight given the storm warnings are predominantly for tomorrow but I would usually take midnight on Thursday as meaning tomorrow night! Excellent clear as mud reporting, as usual |  |

Midnight would be Thursday! Each new day starts at 12.00am so it seems pretty clear to me. |  | | |

Thought they only closed it at 60mph ? MET office predicting max gust 55mph, mainly well below that. |  |

Think it depends on the wind direction as well? | |

They do, and there's quite a difference between what the Highways Agency have said and what the Star are reporting, no doubt behind its paywall it really says the bridge will close at midnight if Highways chief decide its necessary based on the conditions at the time...ymmv how you read just their headline take. |  | | |

So clear that they’ve changed it now to say ‘from 12am’ | |

Probably to help clear it up for people that don't understand the concept of time, yes. | | | |

Does that include the NPL, as they seem to agree midnight can mean both?

“Is midnight today or tomorrow?
To avoid confusion, it is always better to use the 24-hour clock, so that 12:00 is 12 noon. Therefore 24:00 Sunday or 00:00 Monday are both midnight meaning Sunday to Monday. It is common for transport timetables to use 23:59 Sunday or 00:01 Monday, or 11:59 pm or 12:01 am, to further reduce confusion.”

Oh that Met. Carry on. |  |

The article says "The bridge will be shut from 12am on Thursday", the "am" part is a bit of a giveaway.
Edit, apologies I didn't see your post that had been added later. [Post edited 1 Nov 2023 14:26]
