Dear All,

A request for data for all you weather observers (more especially
those on the eastern side of England from Yorkshire down to East
Anglia) - just wondering, for those that have data going back that
far, what gusts did you report on that day (30th October 2000)?

I've managed to track down some gusts from the Met Office website, and
also on Roger Brugge's COL summary, just wondered if there were any
more out there.


Hi, Richard,

Not exactly in your sweep area, but very close. Max gust Copley 30th
October 2000 was 28KT (32mph) at 1010Z (mean 10min 21KT) from 290
degrees. Mean wind direction on 30th was SW and mean speed 8.5KT (had
been 16.0KT on 29th)
There were stronger gusts on all 7 days before peaking at 46KT (54mph)
1010Z on 25th (mean 10min 34KT, F8).
