Penzance - Exciting Weather
A prolonged period of strong-gale force winds has now eased. Still
very windy in torrential rain/hail showers. Bit less wood on the trees, and more lying in the garden this morning. Recent gusts locally include 67mph at Land's End at 7:16, and 56 knots at St. Ives at 8:53, so still distinctly blustery, but lulls in between the squalls. 29.2mm of rain in the 24 hours to 09:00. That little low late Wednesday is one to watch. Features like that tend to give wind speeds exceeding predictions in west Cornwall. A short period of severe NW gales can result as the wind is funnelled around Land's End. Graham Penzance - more like winters used to be http://www.landsendweather.info/ |

Swell's been building all day, and is now very large E.g. Perranporth for a change http://www.channelcoast.org/data_man...arts/?chart=76 Boats are pulled right to the top of the slip, as the breakwater's only providing limited protection now. http://www.sennen-cove.com/harbourcam.htm .. Swell now 20' at Sevenstones and increasing. Graham Penzance where there's been a lot of hail in the showers. |

That little low late Wednesday is one to watch. Features like that tend to give wind speeds exceeding predictions in west Cornwall. A short period of severe NW gales can result as the wind is funnelled around Land's End. Graham Penzance - more like winters used to be The MetO is now forecasting the only really strong winds in west Cornwall to be associated with that low. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html Graham Penzance |

So gusts to near 70mph for somewhere like the Lizard http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html lunchtime today & overnight tonight with no warning. Thursday & Friday nights forecast to be much quieter, with a warning. This happens a lot, covering all options? (Last time I queried with the MetO why there were 70mph gusts & no warning I was told that was not 'The threshold value' for a coastal location) Graham Penzance |
