Wow! It's a surprise to find Eskdalemuir in first place, especially as
nowhere else further north than Essex features. Do we believe the
figure?

That sounds plausible. Is the topography such as to make a fohn effect
possible?

Certainly enough high ground around Eskdalemuir except to the SW.
MetO have the wind in the SSW at MAX on the hour at 15z so Foehn
effect on that limited amount of data seems unlikely.
I tend to associate Eskdalemuir with large rainfall totals.
Hopefully someone more enlightened can offer a better explanation.

I did think that the Eskdalemuir figure was a bit strange - but the Met
Office website accepts it as yesterday's highest for the moment
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html . "Subject
to final quality control" of course.
