Positively calm! 86mph gust recorded at Lindisfarne Castle an hour or so
ago.

Just gone through Southend @ 12:25, wind veering, pressure heading
back up and temperature was 12.3°C, now 9.4°C within 10 minutes. Hail
as well.

Positively calm-for which I am very grateful. Blue skies now (1235)
approaching rapidly from west.
Interesting to see the extent to which maximum gust speeds have varied
so much in Central Scotland. I know Blackford Hill, Edinburgh, (102mph)
very well and was walking there in December-it is very exposed indeed.
A few weeks ago there was a story in The Orcadian about a 130mph
gust-turns out that this reading was from an anemometer atop the turbine
unit on one of the big units in Orkney. The latest edition contained a
letter explaining why such readings are not the same as experienced by
us lesser mortals at ground level.

Yes, pretty vicious by our benign standards. Showed up great on the
radar as an intense line squall and all of the instrumentation graphs
went into vertical mode!
