Out of interest, I noticed there are 14 separate centres of LP on the UKMO
12z fax chart for this Sunday 19th Dec.
Is that unusual or haven't I counted before?

Many years ago, Bert Foord showed an Atlantic chart that was smothered with
lows and not a high to be seen. He asked viewers for a collective noun for
such a group of lows. His own suggestion: a Gloom of Depressions.
