I did elabourate within the thread that it was hurricane force winds I was refering to. The header was a bit of an attention
grabber I must admit.
I've never quite understood why North Atlantic storm systems don't have their own one word term, instead of wordy
mouthfulls."extratropical cyclones", "North Atlantic storm" etc.
"Lows", "depressions", or "storms" seem rather vague.
How about "Bigwind".
And a naming system too! I can just hear it:
Bigwind bluelightning, the second bigwind of the year, is approaching the shores of the UK. Bigwinds can of course lead to
structural damage, trees being uprooted and coastal flooding.
Nah? maybe not then.
