[WR] Sanday, Thu Jan 31st - Breezy (but not as breezy as Cumbria!)
Highest 10-minute average wind speed last night was 50mph/43kts (F9) with a
peak gust of 65mph/56kts. More to come over the next day or so, it seems, with maybe (dare I say hopefully?) the prospect of some proper snow for a change. Currently F7 SSW'ly, baro 967.4 falling rapidly, temp 3.7C (feels like/wind chill -3C). Blustery wintry showers. But it seems the highest wind speeds were around Carlisle? Peak gust of 84mph/73kts! And Paul Crabtree's web site confirms this: peak 10-minute average 56mph/49kts (F10) with a peak gust of 83mph/72kts. Hopefully no damage, Paul? Everything looks OK on your web cam. What effect was at work to give that area apparently much higher speeds than the surrounding areas? -- Steve Loft Sanday, Orkney. 5m ASL. http://sanday.org.uk/weather Free weather station softwa http://sandaysoft.com/ |
