Hi, All,

Rob McElwee, Countryfile made particular note of the lack of wind
today. Copley currently 1220Z 25028KT (F7) gusting 36KT(42mph).
I have said for some time that there is a distinct lack of real-time
obs in Teesdale!

He was referring to the bulk of England, on Monday.

Rob pointed out that on the Monday pressure chart, there was a mere 4
mB pressure difference forecast between Blackpool and Britanny. That,
to me, indicates not much wind!

It was a good level-headed forecast, I thought - with just a hint of
something "interesting" later in the week.
