This evening ... "There are warnings of gales in all areas."
I don't recall having heard that before. Glad I'm not out there.

Might allow some to appreciate the professional mariners out there in container ships, tankers, fishing vessels, ferries, warships, oil rig safety and supply vessels, yadda, yadda.
And the RNLI staff ready to put to sea if called upon.

"I'm sorry but I have run out of magnetic string to show the isobars round this depression off Iceland."

It is unusual for 'There are warnings of gales in all areas' for a second 24 hour period.

Hmm... not always.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

No doubt there will be some surfers out relishing the breaking waves. Possibly even some wind surfers ....

On Friday, I printed out a Met Office synoptic chart forecast for 12 UTC Sat 23 Nov. It had the centre of the low in the Atlantic as 937 hPa. I cannot remember ever seeing a lower pressure.
