  1. An entire mature woodland was flattened near me on Burns Day. Wasn't a sting jet - just that the soil there was shallow and the trees hadn't been tested by such a wind in the previous decades since being planted.
  2. That may be justified to some extent because many Things That Will Blow Down in 70/80mph Gusts have already blown down over recent years in the north, whereas the south has accumulated a big store of these things since 1990.
  3. 5 mbar in NZ, I'd have thought we might manage 0.1 in Europe.
  4. When will the pressure wave arrive in the UK?
  5. -5.6 in Santon Downham in June 1962 in and -9.4 in nearby Lynford in May 1941 are quite impressive. I doubt we'll see lower May/June temps again any time soon in southern England.
  6. Not sure that is easy. Did the weather station in Cambridge that recorded the still-standing record November high of 70F in 1938 meet current standards? Where even in Cambridge was it located?
  7. If the Radcliffe Observatory in Oxford can happily downgrade to a Class 5 site every June (see here), then it shouldn't be surprising what goes on around lesser stations.
  8. Hi, I visited the Cambridge Botanic Garden site this morning and have uploaded three photos to Wikimedia Commons where you can see the current extent of bare soil and vegetation: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cambridge_Botanic_Garden_Weather_Station_from_the_South_West.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cambridge_Botanic_Garden_Weather_Station_from_the_North_West.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cambridge_Botanic_Garden_Weather_Station_from_the_West.jpg
