Quite a blow on its way for NW Scotland. The coastal forecasts are
showing winds up to force 9 with sea states high to very high.

It's being moderately windy here for the last 24hrs or so.
Consistently above F6 (25mph mean), last couple of hours above F7
(32mph mean) with an upward trend and the pressure falling slowly.
Gusting to the mid 40's mph. Temperature has shot up, now about 8C
after being within a degree or so of 0C for the last 4 days. Couple of
mm of rain clicked up during today.

Great Dunn Fell reported F9 for 1500, F8 previously and 4C was -3C
when we where at 0C.
