Blustery showers.

Where was the forecast big blow? We had more wind on Christmas Eve
than we had last night. Helen Young, this morning at 07:58, was
wittering about high winds on the mountains. Was that an attempt at
face saving?

It looks as though the CF was disorganised as it passed through here.
The temperature fell from 10.6°C at 04:00 to 5.6°C at 08:45, the wind
direction changed from SW at 06:15 to NW at 07:15 and the barometer
bottomed at 1000.8mb at 05:45 before rising sharply. The maximum gust
was 47mph, SW, at 06:30.

Currently, temperature 5.8°C, wind gusting to 25mph, NW, rain 8.0mm,
since 04:00, barometer 1006.6mb, rising.
