Cloud Khaos

Paris Charles De Gaulle and Melun getting hit with gusts of 77 km/h and 85 km/h respectively. So it's not letting up much across land. ? ? I'm not so interested to be in the storm. i watched the financial storm accumulate for seven years or more, it was more hoping it wouldn't happen even though was inevitable the way it went, And same with the weather, to be prepared for whatever is coming my way or can be avoided, especially when travelling, or when the potential weather could be dangerous.

you're right there Peter. They still have it up/ http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_warnings.html?day=1

never a dull event when it comes to the weather, it just is what it is and interesting how it goes. Maybe some are anticipating excitement from the extremes. Like watching the traffic or a race and only being interested in the accidents.

03:00 Belle-Ile (56) Vent 127 km/h And a some as like posted previous this evening puts the 70 mph + gusts on the map, n'est-ce pas ? this is my second evening watching this Forum and i just wish to ask if the slow connection to the server is normal, i'm posting the same thing twice and waitng minutes between reload of the page, Is this normal ? Not complaining just curious.

thank You for posting that chart.

Caudan got hit with 120 km/h ( Brittany). Sarkozy will have something different to talk about at breakfast tomorrow.

The North Atlantic is getting interesting, isn't it ? Any predictions on possibilities ? please and thank you. http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/sat-bin/display10.cgi?SIZE=full&PHOT=yes&AREA=mediterranean/model_overlays&PROD=500mb_Hghts&TYPE=ssmi&NAV=over&DISPLAY=Latest&ARCHIVE=Latest&CGI=over.cgi&CURRENT=20111215.2100.composite.500mb_heights_model_overlays_mediterranean_mediterranean.x.jpg&MOSAIC_SCALE=15

more on the same, up date of previous posted link : http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/archdat/mediterranean/model_overlays/Sfc_Winds/20111215.2100.composite.Sfc_Winds_model_overlays_mediterranean_mediterranean.x.jpg

don't you thinkk that it may come down across northern Ireland and into Scotland AND UK . ? A very basic air current model, from a website i link to previous : http://www.noodweercentrale.nl/en/weather/weather-for-professionals/film-of-currents/europe.html

yes, all the way down to Bordeaux. 80 k/h. and La Rochfort, 110. k/h. Etaules 120 k/h. now i can believe that quote i posted earlier of Tonnay-Charente expected 135 +. I hope that lady's family are alright and prepared. edited-typo

Cherbourg and Bouée Manche 4 got 101 k/h just a few moments ago, so French side of channel getting it too. anyone in the Channel Islands here as is same area ?

Thank you for posting the link. There are some high winds posted on that site : Chemoulin 133 kph. I'm curious after seeing that about the weather in the Med as Cap Corse ( Corsica) has had wind of 114 kph. but that's not for this thread

the areas of Portand, as per the link, and Plymouth are reported to have potential storm force 10. ( quoted in the link) Biscay has "increasing violent storm force 11 later". edited to re-install link http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/marine/shipping_forecast.html#All~All

After this present low has moved west will the one in the north atlantic, south of Iceland move south east across northern Ireland and the UK, bringing cold and snow ? ? ?

The British shipping forecast has gale warning for all south west areas incl. the english channel,(Plymouth,Portland and Wight) storm force 10 and (edit ) severe gale force. eg. link http://www.metoffice...ml#All~Portland

For the benefit of the forum member who was requesting information about the Charente area of France, I came across this marine forcast, cannot vouch for any accuracy nor from where they receive their data, yet this is for Tonnay-Charente which is just a bit inland from Bay of Biscay. The wind speeds can be changed to knots, mph or kmh .. Hopefully their "gust"prediction for early morning is a bit over the top. http://www.myweather2.com/activity/forecast.aspx?id=176970&map=~/Marine/Global-Ports/France/Tonnay-Charente.aspx Either way you look at it it's severe, Baton down the hatches and ensure that the roof is firmly attached to the ground i'd guess.

My Netherlands isn't so good either, I'm only resident here at the moment ( hence location only). We're good to go with the english. ;-) Excuse the delay respond to all your welcome messages, Thank You

Hello, I have just recently registered here at your Forum, and have been following this thread prior for the last week, since monday.Thank you for an informative discussion and contributions. I link here to the weather sites which i have been following parallel to this Forum, as my first contribution to the Forum. http://alerte.vigilance-meteo.fr/storm-en.html click local areas for more detail of warnings. And this sat, view has been interesting for the changes the last days, especially for the wind speed and direction from differing altitudes. http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/sat-bin/display10.cgi?SIZE=full&PHOT=yes&AREA=mediterranean/model_overlays&PROD=Sfc_Winds&TYPE=ssmi&NAV=over&DISPLAY=Latest&ARCHIVE=Latest&CGI=over.cgi&CURRENT=20111215.1200.composite.Sfc_Winds_model_overlays_mediterranean_mediterranean.x.jpg&MOSAIC_SCALE=15 Excuse me if any of these have been posted previous, and i hope that i post in accordance with the protocols and etiquette the Forums
