Default Low pressure in Hebrides

Here in southern Hebrides narometor 954mb and still falling.


Just noticed the 1200 chart with 946. If that comes over here it will
take the actual air pressure below 900mB. Currently falling and 967
sea level (915 actual). This getting a bit close to the 958 that we
had on Christmas Eve 1999 that ripped the roof of the shed in the
F9/10 gusting 60mph+ winds.

The chart for midnight tonight doesn't look very friendly for here.
It was fairly breezy last night but nothing really sustained just a
rapid climb up to F9 (Gusts 55mph) and equally rapid drop back down
again over 6 hours. Tonight into tommorow may well bring several
hours of sustained high winds around F9.

The last few hours have seen the pressure start to fall and the wind
to rise, only F5 to F6 ATM so nothing at all really.
