Atlantic Lows - January Onwards

[Guest]

Highest gust here was 67mph. GFS said 60mph for my area.

Fair enough weathermaster, but that's surely just a breeze for you? If we had that here people would call it a hurricane...

Did you find this January more 'calmer' than last January? I did. November to me was the windiest.

This year has been mince for wind. Has anywhere had a decent storm? I think naw!! There is still time but time is running out for a real tree snapper.

I remember a storm in November 2009 was really bad I think Western Scotland got 70 to 80mph.

I don't see it happening though WM!! Let's hope so, it just doesn't look likely

looks like the first week of feb could see a return to the Atlantic weather

Yep sure is.

This Wednesday 35mph to 45mph.

But Saturday is the main one 45mph to 55mph.

Sunday is looking 40 to 50mph.

Sadly for you, the GFS storm looks a slight outlier, at least for Saturday http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/Rukm961.gif

Still, I reckon you'll see a few more lows pushing east in February, though obviously it is February so generally anticyclonic, perhaps less so than January was though.
