after all these ghastly westerlies can't go on for ever......can they ?

They tend to stall at Iceland and the Baltic. Usually when stalled at
the Baltic, the spell changes and the low dissipates.

These particular spells seem to see the lows joining up at these
sticking places. It is interesting to watch them rotate and to fan out
afterwards.

Most interesting is that sometimes they come back from the graveyard.

Thank goodness the BBC has no interest in presenting the weather these
days. I might never have noticed. (This is in no way to be construed
as satisfaction with a smajor/smedium medium that aught to be
excoriated.)
