It's the Express. Nothing to worry about !

 

[johnalison]

It's only Scotland. There only a few crofters to worry about.

So why is no significant wind or rain showing on Passageweather or XC weather?

 

[steve yates]

Cos it's the express. A rag of lies and hyperbole, not even good for wiping your arse with.

Met Office shows yellow be aware weather warning over Scotland for next 2 - 3 days.

So why is no significant wind or rain showing on Passageweather or XC weather?

Perhaps because it's very localised. I've just been to Annan where there were a couple of torrential showers but otherwise it's quite dry.

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.

Try windy.com. Gives forecasts for 4 models. Sometimes amazing how 2 models can give opposite wind directions, given that they are all using the same data.

Britain is braced for two-day deluge as Storm Ellen hammers UK

 

[NormanS]

What sort of trans gender op was required to change Kyle into Ellen?

 

[ProDave]

This is the worst it gets on Passage Weather. Yes very localised, and somewhat windy out west but hardly a breeze this side.

Vicious bugger for August!

I have learned to take the wave height predictions with a pinch of salt

Isn't Boris-the-Liar camping in Scotland?

It would be a shame if his tent blew down.

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.

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.
