Where is it?

I think the equinoctial gales are largely a myth.


20 knots gusting 26 here from SSW.

No gale warnings in any sea areas.

Not that surprising for mid-September, surely? I'd expect from about
late October through to the end of January to be when the frequency of
gales was greatest.


The tropical N Atlantic can't even muster a decent hurricane.

With suppressed N Atlantic sea temperatures all we have to look forward
to is a very confused hemispheric circulation as we move into winter.

Let's wait and see.
