The inshore waters forecast for Mull of Kintyre to Ardnamurchan has
actually downgraded the wind speed slightly since this morning when force
11 seemed definite. The 1700 forecast states: "southwest gale 8 to storm
10, possible violent storm 11 at first, veering west or northwest 7 to
severe gale 9 on Wednesday". It's around 40-45 mph at the airport, gusting
to 60-65, though Malin Head, c.50 miles away, has 53 mph, gusting to 85.
The pressure here has been at 985mB for the last six hours.

I notice that Benbecula at 1920 was 61kt gusting to 83kt which is definitely
F11.
