I'm gauging that most people think today hasn't been anywhere near as
the good old Met'O had us expecting - thankfully.
Today looks like only been the 7-8th windiest day that I have recorded
over the last 4yrs. I even had a windier day in May of this year.

But if you went by the Met'o weather warnings it should have been No.
1.

But I don't recall the rash of weather warnings on the majority of
those days that were windier than today and most of them were also
wetter than today as well.

Is it a case of:
a.) it was an EX hurricane so better put a warning out - makes for a
good news story
b.) bad luck on part of the Met'O
c.) Over sensitivity on part of the Met'O
d.) poor forecsating
e.) it beats a weather warning for 2mm of snowfall
