![]() ================================================== ================== This posting expresses the personal view and opinions of the author. Something which everyone on this planet should be able to do. ================================================== ================== Not unreasonable. Emphasis is correctly on the rain in my view. Very large drops and lots of them, probably whites and reds on the radar display. Possible line convection on the cold front leading to local deluges. Would not be surprised to get the odd thunderstorm as well. Winds are going to be strong, but as they will be mostly in the warm sector the stability will mitigate surface gusts, except over high ground where lee gustiness could be a problem, but upland folk are used to gales and the wind will not be an unusual feature. My concern, though is that as the low deepens there could be a temporary core of severe gales to the SW of the low over Scotland in unstable air. Here, gusts to 80 mph are not unlikely.

Will, Thank you for that explanation. As a relative beginner, I found it very useful, being posted before the event. I am now in a better position to know what to look out for. -- Howard Neil |

I do find this most intriguing, having read this warning and the one
previously at the met office. It is strange how the forecast on the BBC site (for my location) have today and tomorrow shown as 'sunny intervals' with not a droplet of rain appearing in the next five days. Admittedly they do show winds of 31 mph for tomorrow with a pressure of 981 ... but a temperature of 16 (rather warm). So, taking into account the two severe weather warnings, and the above forecast, a trip to the beach is planned for tomorrow. -- Gianna Stefani http://www.meteo.jasmin-bear.org "Rob Bale" wrote in message ...

Rob Bale : New warning out. Not on Met Office site yet though. http://uk.weather.com/weather/alerts/ I note with interest: .... " DUE TO FALLEN DEBRIS FROM TREES, PARTICULARLY SINCE THEY ARE STILL IN FULL LEAF AT PRESENT" Ours certainly aren't in full leaf. Half the leaves were on the lawn when I mowed it yesterday. This seems to be a relatively early fall compared to recent years. Adrian -- Adrian Shaw ais@ Adran Cyfrifiadureg, Prifysgol Cymru, aber.

I would prefer they worked on getting the forecast correct before worrying about the semantics, grammar and spelling. But perhaps that's just me?

![]() Anyone else think this is poor English? Either the trees are 'still in full leaf' or 'in full leaf at present', aren't they? Compared with some of the grammar, spelling and punctuation seen on this group the sentence quoted could well have been written by Dr. Johnson. Don't get too fussy! Q: Who lead the Pedants' Revolt?
