Default [WR] Haytor 03/12/06 (phew!)

Further revision downwards -

Now 53 knots (61 mph) estimated for 10m. (There was still a mistake in
calculation).
Fits in well with forecast I did yesterday too!

Not been my best day due to lack of sleep :-(

Re other thread.

After some work, some thought, and looking at other data/damage in area etc I
have revised my 10m gust estimate downwards to 57 knots or 65 mph (still a
personal high) .
41 knots at 3m measured (previous highest was 32 knots).

Cheers,

Will.

What a night.
Front came through at 0415 with a temperature drop of 3 degrees and a

massive
gust of 68 knots (81 mph) calculated at 10m agl, recorded 3 metre gust was

41
knots (49 mph). I did say I expected the strongest wind to be on the front.

This
is my highest recorded gust so far. I am relieved to say that there has been

no
damage to the house as far as I can tell. That was higher than expected as I

am
fairly sheltered from the south. Rainfall 30 mm BTW.

Will.
