Glad you are not the weather forecast I rely on I see Fore 9 in the inshore waters for quite a lot of areas around SW Coast, Isles of Scilly, Bristol Channel etc. And nasty for much of Southern Ireland. Stay safe everyone.
Lighter winds in the Shetlands apparently.

F9 in Galloway? I may have to double peg the washing.

Friday has over 22 ft swell, 19ft 3 tide so cameras to Porthleven in the hope it gets smashed up. As usual. Wave period is only 12 sec, when it gets to 18 sec look out, waves contain much more water.

Check again, Carol reporting 50+mph.

Nope, its Thursday lunchtime and its sunny, blue skies and a nice f4 here, just as boatie predicted. Tomorrow is showing 5 gusting 7, but we were talking about today.

Looks like 'storm deniers' can now be added to the list. ?⛈⛈

Maybe - let me know if this is just too radical - the weather isn't the same everywhere, and different people can have different experiences depending on where they are?

SW Scotland: fairly windy, but not as much as overnight. Sunny earlier, clouded over now.

Hardly, just not everyone is happy to take crap journalism at face value.

You'd better check again.
In spite of being reported in the Express, the BBC are reporting severe weather & high winds for Thursday, hitting the whole country including Scotland.

Essex is most definitely not being hit by storm kyle, ellen or any other random name today. It's a beautiful day here. Thats not to say cornwall or elsewhere is not being battered, but it's certainly not the whole country.

'I'm all right jack'. Don't worry about those in your country that are getting bashed. And it's not over yet. How about that for radical, weather systems move. ?

Have you seen the news reports about storm damage in Scotland? No, neither have I.

A bit windy in North Wales tonight.

That's why they call them forecasts, tell us what your wind strength is tomorrow.

 

[Mister E]

Change that to hardly able to close the back door windy.

How rude is it to quieten your neighbour's halyards before that blows in?

(I'm going to default to don't)

Perhaps the locals could give a 'teach in', on how best to use a trowel under those circumstances.
Perhaps UTube video.

It may be true in this instance, but the tabloid press have lost the right to report anything, given that they are not newspapers anymore, but opinion mongers. They can't print a headline without it being divisive, horrifying, attention grabbing or otherwise upsetting. These are the people who toward the end of every year report 'Temperatures to Plummet and Stay Low for Three Months'. No SH*T Sherlock: That's what winter is.
