Dis Thomas Shaffernacker (sp?) really say, during the weather
forecast before the one o'clock news today, that the sea would
be rough in coastal areas? Does that mean that the sea will be
calm inland, then?

I can confirm that here in Manchester the sea is very calm. In fact, I
can't see any waves at all.

Blackheath Sea was quite calm this lunchtime. Sorry - Blackheath Pond.

Equally Hamsey Green Pond at the height of the Gale force 6
(sic). Just a few ripples. Both Schaffernacker and La Tobyn
frequently refer to the weather "outside" ( as we head through the
afternoon). Yup, that's where it is. (Unless your roof leaks).

It also raises the questions:-
Why is the sea only rough in coastal areas? and
How far do you have to go out to sea before you're no longer coastal?

I always understood it to be when completely out of sight of land in all
directions with no shore-based navigational aids available.

What's wrong with that? Not all rain is squally.
Sometimes it just dribbles down for ages in a flat calm. At other
times it is brief and heavy and accompanied by a strong gusty wind.
This is a squall. He got it right. God knows there are enough sticks
to beat the man with without inventing false ones.
