Interestingly Theyr.net only shows a F6 for Cornwall tonight. It's alot more than that at the moment !

Hi Guys,

Speeds now rising, watch the METARs and bouy obs closely, could be some real high gusts in the next few hours.

What we are seeing here Dann is weakenesses in the models. I'm not sure who Theyr use, but I suspect it's a refinement of the GFS and that has not had this situation right at all.

Hat's off to the UK Met Office model, it picked this up a couple of days ago.

Simon, I keep getting a login box for Dundee Uni sat tracking which I've tracked back to the picture you tried to post. Just in case anyone one else wonders why they keep getting a pop up box asking for login details

Watch the buoys now at 62091 and the Isle of Man, they are next on the list. Pressure still faling there.

It looks like the Scilly Isles had a wild couple of hours earlier this evening, with peaks around 48kts reported from the vicinity of the Seven Stones light around 1800hrs.

oops it's late...

Simon what am I looking at, I don't know if this is a live image, but I am looking at 21 09 2006 14:06 Ch2.

I see some ripple west of Ireland which I presume is the low coming in. But I also see some strips of cloud forming north of Inverness, a jet type affair between the solent and cherbourg. Oddly, the Irish sea region looks calm. I wonder if you can clarify and correct me.

It has been a very odd evening with lots of conflicting information, those on the ground are reporting frightening screaming wind and the buoys and forecasts are saying F6 with the odd gust.

Here in Cheshire it is very warm with a gentle breeze. Bizarre is better than odd actually.
