It's looking increasingly likely that there could be localised severe gales around the Lands End & Lizard peninsulas. The MetO already shows winds stronger in Penzance tomorrow than on Sunday, when there is a wind warning. All very dependent on the exact track of the low, we may narrowly escape.

The Atlantic swell map for Sunday around noon is quite something

(Just hold the cursor over the relevant part of the bar chart)

Some of the wave buoys will make interesting reading.

Regarding the other thread about the 926mb forecast for Dennis, am I right in thinking that the lowest pressure ever recorded over the UK mainland is 927mb?

Some particularly interesting weather at the moment!

925.5 mb, Graham, 26 Jan 1884. But the N. Atlantic record is 913 mb, I think. Not sure of the date.

We didn't escape. Trees down, power cut due to overhead cables down at Ludgvan (just outside Penzance).

F9 on Scilly (mean speed reached 48mph), Gusts 70mph near Lands End (max gust 68mph last Sunday) and some fairly horrendous sea conditions. http://www.sennen-cove.com/index.htm SWH 6-7m.

No warning.

Not just wind damage and overtopping by waves, but the plenty of heavy rain also lead to flooding. Fowey

Last Sunday saw very little rain. (Different on Monday - thunderstorms).

Penzance - where it's all improving nicely.
