Is it me or do the strongest gradients associated with the storm seem a
little further south than expected over western Ireland?
Maybe I'm just seeing things !
994mb to 967mb (27mb) in 12 hours is very good going, though!

Interesting to see that UKMO have the 1200z centre as 967 mb at about
56N 10.5W whereas DWD have it as about 975 mb at 59N 10W.

Given the winds recorded here in Ireland, I'd have to go with the DWD
analysis, backing up the Bernard's interpretation of the sat pics. The
speeds were well below that suggested by the 12Z MO ASXX. At 15Z Belmullet
was only recording 27kts and Malin peaked at only F8.

When there is such a difference in the analysis is it any wonder that
there are differences in the forecasts of future developments.

Indeed:-)
