And at www.chimet.co.uk/default.shtm it's F2, gusting F7 - at least, that's what it says at the moment.
Edit - F4 gusting F8 2 minutes later!

It's really impressive at 1mb spacings !

 

[longjohnsadler]

That's nothing.
In Donegal it's blowing a right and a left hoolie

[Dave99]

is anyone out in the med? Flying to Nice on thursday, wondered what the weather conditions were like out there?

 

[longjohnsadler]

Actually I could be wrong.
Perhaps it's only in the southern hemisphere that it blows a left hoolie

 

[bumblefish]

Time to get the sinker out? Windsurfing that is!

Hoolie, thats a word I use though not heard many others use it, any Idea of which part of the country uses it?

Our dustbin, (our house overlooks Mounts Bay, Cornwall), is dragging its anchor, despite having laid out extra 'rode'.

Got to leave it out as the dustmen arrive at 06.45 tomorrow am!

At this level of gusts, we may lose the latest TV aerial again (was put back up from the last blow only on Wednesday!!)

PS Fowey NCI (Polruan) seems to have gone off the air again too)

 

[Kilter]

I think it's a Mount in the College Valley Mounthooly

Hooley widely used by the fishing fraternity on the S coast, which is where I first heard it.

1 hooley or hoolie a party, esp. a wild or lively one. Anglo-Irish slang. Perhaps a variant of the Gaelic ceilidh -Rosalind Fergusson, Shorter Slang Dictionary (New York: Routledge, 1994) 113
