Unliked the well hyped St Jude's storm (yes I know it was a decent
gale in some places, but not here) we now have a real gale anywhere a
bit exposed.
Currently gusting 45-50mph in sheltered Penzance, the same as it
peaked over the nearby moors during St Jude (E.g. peak gust of 44kt at
Bosullow). Recent gusts close to 70mph om St. Mary's.
Sea conditions are very very poor,if you look at

Nearly up to St Jude's levels then but I suspect it will be much more
prolonged as the 70 mph gusts were only for an hour or so max.
Some recent gusts up to 25mph but it felt a lot more if you were trying
to light fireworks for the grandchildren!

I said it felt stronger - it was - 36mph, looked at older data.
