A couple of weeks back ex Hurricane Gordon got loads of publicity,
severe weather warnings & the rest, Cornwall specifically mentioned. When nothing much happened the media resorted to reporting the very large swell, which was in fact very similar to the swell which occured the previous week - both peaked just under 20' at Sevenstones. Yesterday, with no specific warnings or news coverage, the wind was just as strong in many parts of Cornwall (though still not out of the ordinary), the swell was bigger (it peaked at 23' at Sevenstones - which is seriously big & the biggest since last winter) and it all coincided with a big tide, which 'Gordon' didn't. As a result there were some problems on the north Cornwall coast, www.cornwallcam.co.uk/ has a few photos of conditions in St Ives bay. It seems that predictions are more interesting than reality, which is perhaps why UKSW has more posts on predictions than actual events. Graham Penzance |

And where is the stuff online that WetterZentrale supplies? No excuses are there? "Working charts prepared by the Met Office since January 1861" http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporat.../examples.html For export only? By the way where can I get sea level Atlantic charts for the period on DVD; anyone? |
