Default Irish Sea wind speeds later tonight and tomorrow

The latest UKMO FSXX chart for noon tomorrow suggests south to south west
winds of force 6 and perhaps 7.

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/brack0.html

The 6.30 BBC 1 forecast showed the new arrows and the word strong was used,
but there was absolutely no mention of expected speeds. Is wind considered
such an unimportant element now, whereas a temp in London of 21C got a
specific mention? :-(

.... I suspect that it is dawning on the BBC Weather Centre that someone
has made a mistake here; fortunately, they've got the (relatively) quiet
summer to sort it out, but come the autumn/winter storm period, a much
better representation of the wind field, with indication of strength,
must be available.

It's brought a whole new meaning to the "The British Broadcorping
Castration" spoonerism, because for sure the weather forecast has been
castrated.
