Default Tuesday weather warning

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.

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..

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. (That was my first time!)

August Bank Holiday 1992, I suspect. 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."

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.

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.

Augusts have normally neen the warmest and most pleasant of summer months on
Dartmoor in recent years.

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.
