Highest gust I saw at Coventry was 55KT 56mph in Coventry itself; higher at Bagington Airport in the rural-urban fringe on a hill overlooking the city & 59mph in the suburbs. Don't blame Shefali, she does her best as a presenter! BTW have you noticed how the media call them "heavy" winds these days, rather than high? How irritating!!
