No heavy showers here or anything dramatic but a persistent SW to
SSW force 5. I can't reconcile this with the pressure gradient as
shown on the Wetterzentrale site for the 1200Z analysis. Some local
enhancement in the neighbourhood of minor troughs might be expected but
this has been pretty persistent. Anybody any ideas why it's so breezy?

Increasing gradient (circa 30-40KT) ahead of the low just to the west of
Land's End at 1900Z and associated trough moving east.

12Z GFS 900mb winds :-
