Also 21-25 Oct 1949, famous in France for the widespread damage it caused. There was also one in the mid 1970's which wandered slowly east towards Portugal for days, and became almost invisible on the fax polar orbiter images of the time, then suddenly 'woke up' again over Iberia and resulted in serious flooding. |

Gusts close to 70mph over 28th & 29th in Penzance, 90mph at Gwennap Head. There is no sign of a worryingly big southerly swell at the moment, it's currently just very choppy. Excellent Wind/Kite surfing at Marazion. The big swell looks like coming back from the WSW tomorrow. With an offshore wind on the north coast on Friday, the surfing could be excellent, for those brave enough. www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/NQYBig.html shows how big it can get on the north Cornwall coast when the wind drops out and there's a good long wavelegth swell. I've seen it even bigger on the Porthleven reef, but no camera. Graham Penzance |

Can't help with the stats but what I do know is that beast is heading for Corunna judging by latest satellite images at http://www.metoffice.com/satpics/latest_IR.html . The only model to capture that evolution was ECMWF at T+72 range. It then subsequently took it over SW England. I'm not sure, but I have a feeling that this system may well end up wallowing around in the Bay of Biscay , only time will tell. It can't track across land into France, surely not? Will, are you saying that the track of this might not follow the models (well, the MetO and NOGAPS:the ones I look at regularly) and curve up closer if not over SW England? R Yes!!!! ECMWF previous run was bang on and that gave me storms over Haytor. Oh Sh** Will. -- And I'm still not confident in the official forecasts, but have to go along with them. I shall be watching the imagery and obs like a hawk this evening as well as David Braine on Spotlight of course which is also promising some pictures of the swell. Will (from a breezy and balmy Haytor) -- |
