I'm looking at http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ and find that the forecast on the home page for Wednesday, Thursday and early Friday has a set of wind speeds which are far higher than the ones that come up when you click on an arrow for a longer range forecast. I checked it was nothing to do with my Chrome browser by trying it with Explorer. Is this something to do with the forecast model or a mistake? I was checking round the Irish Sea by the way.

Another anomaly they have is that for the Cumbria area recorded wind speeds are shown for Walney, Shap, St Bee's and Keswick but predicted windspeeds are shown for just Ambleside.

Ambleside doesn't appear at all on my XCweather wind observation map.
Edit:- Ah ! just found it on the overview, which I never normally look at.

Go to the Home page and use the Forecast Maps tab.

That is my point. Ambleside doesn't appear on the Observations tab, but does in the Forecasts.
Ie. You can never check if the forecast was correct.

Perfect agreement as far as I can see between the 2 day forecast, the 5 day forecast and the 8 day forcast ... looking at Ronaldsway Airport.

The recent reported windspeeds are however considerably less than the forecast speeds for the remainder of the day.
