I was trying to find out how strong the wind would be here, earlier. Apparently lighter winds here.

what is more annoying is how weather like this is routinely reported


"winds of 80 mph to batter britain, 80 mph winds have brought down trees and blocked roads bla bla bla

when the reality is they mean that coastal unihhabited areas have recorded 80mph gusts, 2 trees came down and 2 roads have been blocked


For every other person in the UK the winds are around 40-50mph in gusts

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ is a good way to monitor actual observed wind speeds

Something else that irritates me about TV weather forecasts is how they don't show pressure levels anymore.
