    The local council maritime station recorded 103mph at the pier. Chatter about a sting jet given how it went from gales to 20 mins of calm then 40 mins of 80mph+. Just a normal gale blowing now

    The clean up has started in the Western isles, lots of reports of trees down and roof damage. Peak of the storm lasted only about an hour but was incredibly intense. I think Stornoway airport is reporting 93mph as their top gust.

    Stornoway airport has reported over 90mph.. a lot of damage across the island. Peak of the storm lasted about an hour and was incredibly intense.

    I think Carloway may well be getting a battering @Norrance, they are more exposed to this than us. Sister in law in Callanish says they can hear the tiles flying off the roof sadly. VID_20220130_180025_01.mp4

    Sustained winds at 55mph frequent gusts over 80mph. The intensity of the change here is quite incredible. Just had two more transformer flashes light up the sky and whole western side of the island is now dark. 4G for the rest of the night it seems.

    Really bad here now on west coast of Lewis. Don't expect power to last much longer. Can see large electric looking flashes coming from the neighbouring island of bernera.

    Wow.... The air pressure inside the house is incredible. Can hear things airborne outside hitting the windows, sustained winds over 50mph with frequent gusts into the high 70s Strongest gust of 78mph from due north, I'm very sheltered here from the north behind a small hill. Guessing speeds will be in excess of 80mph along the sea front

    Here we go it seems. Lull didn't last long. Wind has gone south to northwesterly in short time now averaging 25mph gusting over 50mph. Pressure levelled out around 996.2 Getting pretty noisy outside. Temp has also dropped from 7.8c to 5.5c over 15mins.
  9. Craig Cameron
    Very calm in the Western isles at the moment. Dropped from an average of 30mph gusting 45mph from the south to now at 10mph gusting 18mph. Pressure has rapidly fallen to 996.1 hPa and still falling. Winds still southerly, expecting a change in direction and speed very soon
  10. Craig Cameron
    All gone calm out in western isles... Average wind speed now at 10mph gusting 18mph still from the south. Pressure still falling at 996.1
  11. Craig Cameron
    Still seeing the pressure drop away here from 107hPa to currently 997.9hPa over two hours. Wind has just ever so slightly dropped off from an average of 30mph gusting to 45mph to now 22mph gusting 32mph over the last 15 mins or so. All looks to be within forecast, expecting pressure to bottom out soon and minds swing into the west and north west and pick up again. Shall see soon enough I think

    Persistent moderate rain for last few hours. Winds currently at average of 27mph with regular gusts in the 40mph range from the south. Pressure falling very quickly at a rate of -4.7hPa/hr and currently at 1001.4hPa. Temp 6.5c and rising.
  13. Craig Cameron
    Pressure really starting to drop off here in the Western isles now. Winds markedly picking up too, awaiting the other side of the low as strongest winds will swing more from the northwest.
  14. Craig Cameron
    Another chilly start but first morning out of the last 9 without snow. -6c overnight is extreme for here at sea level. currently 3.3c with a dew point of 0.6c. Flat calm (yes, no wind in this part of the western isles ), unending blue skies and sunshine. should be a good day.
  15. Craig Cameron
    Heavy snow showers. Current temps of -1c with an overnight low of -5.3c. Dew point of -1.4c Wind easterly at 2.5mph. pressure at 1023.6hPa steady. 5-6cm of snow on the ground.
  16. Craig Cameron
    Snow yet again overnight. About 5-6cm this time, think this is day 8 now with just a break on Thursday where snow has fallen. Very unusual for us in the Hebrides at any time.
  17. Craig Cameron
    Smashing day here, plenty of snow overnight in the Hebrides especially over Lewis. temp currently at 1c dew point of 0.2c with negligible wind which is a bizarre oddity for us
  18. Craig Cameron
    After the earlier balmy 8c and Dp of 7c we’ve seen the wind swing to the NNW and temps have quickly fallen back again to 4.1/3.5c and still falling back.
  19. Craig Cameron
    Quite a change here today, 8c with a 7c dew point. light showers of rain and breezy. seems like the mild interlude is here in the Hebrides.
  20. Craig Cameron
    Currently 956.0 hpa falling more slowly. Think we’re in the middle of the low in the western isles
  21. Craig Cameron
    Chilly morning here with dusting of snow and wintry showers.
  22. Craig Cameron
    Lots of wintry showers overnight. Dusting of snow with temps at 1.6c and 1c dew point. 959mb and falling slowly.
  23. Craig Cameron
    We do get them, usually its in the winter though.
  24. Craig Cameron
    It's been very noisy up here today, impressive colours on the rainfall radars but very little falling at the moment on the Westside of Lewis. Just big old rumbling storms.
  25. Craig Cameron
    Very lively up here in the Hebrides. Been near constant storms since lunchtime today. Another large cluster developing at the moment.
