Just seen a weather warning on the Met Office web site for severe gales and
heavy rain with gusts to 60-70 mph. Seems an unusually strong storm for August - more like what you would expect during Autumn/Winter (yes I am aware of the Fastnet storm). It will be interesting to see if it verifies. Adam |

In quite a few years the weather seems to take on a rather autumnal air around the middle of August, the Fastnet storm being one of the more extreme examples.. -- John Hall "Never play cards with a man called Doc.

Since it is obviously wrong (or I am) there is going to be a major earthquake (or severe tropical or extra-tropical cyclone.) Aug 12 23:03 (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/phase/ phase2001gmt.html) So from the 12th or 13th there will be a more authentic fine spell than the present less veritable one. And hence a shift in the model. Tuesday being at the far end of model specifications, the situation will bear watching with all the deft circumspection one is partial to, when the remarkable Weatherlawyer pokes his oar in. |

The last two Augusts have been rather poor - I know because I always spend a week camping either in Swanage or on the Isle of Wight. We are going next week to the Isle of Wight - a week earlier than usual. I remember one storm, probably in 1990 or 1991 that caused half the tents on the site to blow down overnight.

The 'Weather Log' correspondent wrote: "The unsettled spell culminated in a particularly 'autumnal' Bank Holiday weekend as an unusually deep depression tracked across Ireland and Scotland. Its central pressure fell to 971mbar overnight 30th/31st over northwest Scotland -- the third lowest in August this century anywhere in the UK. Fair Isle reported a gust of 70kn." Philip |

Philip I remember it well, I went on a week's holiday to Tenby, the first three days was wet, wet and wet ! We was thinking of going back home, but stuck it out, and the weather wasn't too bad the rest of the week. Joe Wolverhampton. |

Adam Having spent the week at sunny Sidmouth and followed with interest the movements of the MSC Napoli (front end !) round the bay as the tugs learnt how to handle her/it, she finally left on Thursday afternoon for a ? five day voyage to Belfast. Supposedly in a five day weather window. Friday, Saturday, Sunday,Monday, Tuesday !! I hope she makes good time or it might be interesting for some Irish Sea beach. |

Having written that yesterday, as if to prove my point there was quite thick fog here when I woke up this morning, though it quickly cleared between 7am and 7:30. -- John Hall "Never play cards with a man called Doc.
