Wonder how many wind turbines will bite the dust this week, perhaps we
could measure the strength of a storm by the number of damaged

If you look at the 120hr forecast from the ECMWF he

the 850mb wind speed has gone off the scale! Never seen that before.
It has, you are right. I can' see it.
I couldn't see any temperatures there, either.
So, meantime, how odd is a 90mph wind at that height?
90 mph sustained - not that common I wouldn't have thought, in the
vicinity of the UK anyway.
I would estimate that the 850mb sustained wind speed would approximate
the peak gust speed at ground level, so 90+ mph gusts near the surface.
The 0600 GFS T+120 has a low of 940mb just off Fraserburgh.
I do hope that it is wrong.
....and an 85 mph sustained wind over the sea.
how accurate (in %age terms) is the GFS at 120h ?- Hide quoted text -
