Sting jet in evidence on the southern flank of the low affecting the SW
coast of France.

Following gusts reported at 0500Z :-

Biscarosse 82KT
Socoa 64KT
Cap Ferret 58KT
Biarrritz 56KT


Can't see evidence of a sting jet in satellite imagery , wonder if the
gusts are due to convective downdrafts (sferics in area) or orographic
effects from the Pyrenees,
