That little low late Wednesday is one to watch. Features like that
tend to give wind speeds exceeding predictions in west Cornwall. A
short period of severe NW gales can result as the wind is funnelled
around Land's End.

Penzance - more like winters used to be

The MetO is now forecasting the only really strong winds in west
Cornwall to be associated with that low.http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html

Just noticed, the strong winds on the forecast (for Cornwall) are all
for Weds & early hours of Thursday. So gusts to near 70mph for
somewhere like the Lizard http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html
lunchtime today & overnight tonight with no warning. Thursday & Friday
nights forecast to be much quieter, with a warning.

This happens a lot, covering all options?

(Last time I queried with the MetO why there were 70mph gusts & no
warning I was told that was not 'The threshold value' for a coastal
location)
