Hi Nick,
That's some wind. Our max gust was a mere 24KT (29 mph), but the anemometer is only 2m agl, and fairly sheltered. Later this week I am off to B&Q to order a micro wind turbine. Anyone on the forum with experience, direct or second-hand, with using one of these? At ~£1500 less £500 grant looks like value for money as well as making good climate sense. The seemingly unrelenting wind and rain this winter (apart from those wonderful 2 anticyclonic weeks end-Jan) is becoming tedious. 64.4mm so far this month. Recently:- Day Rain Total 6 1.6mm 7 4.6mm 8 8.2mm 9 19.4mm 10 8.0mm 11 15.2mm 12 7.4mm I long for those cold dry days of last Winter! Still absolutely zero 'Wintry' (SN or RASN) precipitation in Dartington this Winter. It is starting to get too late for anything interesting in a frozen sense to occur down hear. On the plus side the hedgerows are flowering up. Hawthorn leaves are coming out in profusion. The mild wet season will soon switch to the warm and dry! Regards, Richard. Dartington, South Hams.
