I've decided the ECMWF 10m wind plots are a waste of space. GFS has
projected, rightly or wrongly, easy to determine sustained 70mph wind
over the Channel Approaches 29 Jan.
The corresponding ECMWF max winds has absurdely long arrows protruding
well into France, so presumably the blunt barbless end of the arrow is
the relevant datapoint ,but next to uselss, for severe gale purposes.
