You may have more tornadoes per square mile than any other country,

They took the roof off a chapel just up the road from where I used to
live and deposited it on the car of the landlord of a pub across the
road a few minutes after he parked it after a lockin about 2 or 3 am
one night. The town is nestled under an hill about 2 miles from the
sea.

Not much room to build up an head of steam. Quite enough to bowl a
baby across a football field though. How much do you think we need?

http://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm is showing a potential
difference of 90 millibars actually more like a hundred on the board
at the moment. Quite a dart board.

I'd say that's a positive anomaly, wouldn't you? Yet the Met Office
have it tracking into the Arctic. If it does, there must be a good
reason for that off the map. Quake or supercyclone or something.

Personally I think it will cross N Scotland or broach at Norway. Vee
schall zee ya?

Meanwhile the smaller cyclone over the Hebrides is responsible (or
coincident as usual, so to speak) for nice weather further down the
country.

Been nice here.

Now let me ask those experts that are too stupid to have me blocked,
why, with a low and a high approaching each other with a difference of
950mb to 1042mb, why don't they run toward each other?

What on earth is that magic antielectropotential or whatever like/
unlike thing that is keeping them apart?

Coriolis effect?

Feckwits!
