Maybe the deepest for 4 years, but not like the 955 mb that passed
over Wembury on 16 Oct 1987 on its way to wreak havoc on the folk in
the home counties.

I got so excited in the early hours I got the wife out of bed to look
at my barograph trace.

OTOH, as I have said so often recently, it isn't earthquakes when the
North Atlantic sea pressures are flaccid but tornadoes.

Please pay more attention to me in the future. It's for your own good.

Did she thank you for enlightening her Len?

All the best!

LOL

My poor wife has been dragged out of bed so many times in the last three
decades!
For snow, thunder, hail, and ... on 16 Oct 1987 to stand outside in our
nightclothes rapt in awe at the warmth of the night with trees bending
alarmingly and the sound of branches breaking but no rain.

I think I heard the Solent BBC presenter say the Sunday Low might be
the deepest for four years, earlier this evening. If I have five
minutes to myself tomorrow I might see what my modest records show at
work - i think it is something like 970mb

Yes David Braine on Spotlight is ace isn't he!

Ten Tors training will continue, the youths really love the challenge.
But
it looks pretty hairy for Sunday I have to say with gales, heavy rain
and
sleet and snow high up. Some organisers may decide to call it off if
the
river crossings look dodgy.

Interesting low. N. France should bear the brunt of the severe gales
though.

I'm rather surprised there's still no warning of coastal flooding,
potentially far more of a problem than the rain's likely to be. (Only
18.0mm here in the 5 days to 09:00 today, despite repeated warnings.)

Sunday's big tide combined with the very low atmospheric pressure is
bad enough, but it looks like there'll be a strong-gale N wind piling
it into St Ives (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/sw/
st_ives_forecast_weather.html) which would guarantee some problems.
Tuesday morning sees the biggest astronomical tide for at 2 years - an
exceptional 7.7m at Newquay.

As you say, looks particularly iffy for the coast of Brittany.


And just a small change in track could make the winds stronger. Mind you,
the Shapiro-Keyser http://weatherfaqs.org.uk/node/98 development should
ensure strongest winds remain on the southwest side of the low near the
back-bent front. A lot of precip. on northern side though.

has been unavailable for the last 1/2 hour, I wonder how many metmen are
huddled over it before a concensus allows publication

And for good measure local tide gauge is duff but seems just the ordinary
tide in an fhours time will be about 0.6m over predicted, from todays normal
system going through
