I wouldn't read too much into a long-range forecast - just gets you wound up when you secretly know it will be a gentle W4...

Oh Dear!! One reef in and out of bunker two hours earlier!! Not a good way to start the day. I'll still make the 'pub francais' before it closes.

touch & go...
looks like a delicate balance between the icelandic low and a continental high with the channel on the borderline. see 120 hour chart see <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.maalla.co.uk/uk-weather/syn.htm>here</A>
metcheck is now showing a very optimistic f3 westerly for the outbound & f2 southerly for the return. this is obviously wrong as we couldn't possibly get that lucky after the season we've had this year!

Re: Friday forecast from the Met Office
Aint weather forecasting a dandy. I'm just looking at the BBC's predicted synoptic charts, which admittedly only go up to Thursday at this point - but there's no way any gale force 8 in them! Not for the channel anyway.
I don't think we're going to Iceland are we?

Being paranoid simply means - having all the facts.
