big storm for Tuesday 956 mb - that's low

[blazer]

Just found it. Yikes, that is a deep depression. Hopefully it'll track North. There is a high ridge pushing up from the Azores.

 

Paul - lets hope the high doesn't come up behind the low as it moves through or we will have what I call 'the gear wheel effect' where cold artic air is drawn down between both systems.

 

The last low ran on a track over Scotland and the next looks like it will do the same, often they run up high through past Iceland.

 

 

I remember the 87 storm track right across England hence the damage.

Problem with storm damage 87 style was alot of cowboys made a lot of money by going out to buy saws and off they went - no training or insurance:sneaky2:

I always use a website called magicseaweed for the surfing forecast. Has great pressure charts and much more, well worth a look.

Blazer. That was my thought too. A bit of wind is good for business, a lot is bad because, as you say, the bottom feeders come out to play.

As for the cold air;it is December.

so any more info on wich bit of the country is going to get hit

[paulb4884]

w tip of scotland on tuesday quickly followed by another low (possibly worse) tracking up the west coast and hitting the w tip of scotland again on thurs/fri. Both lows will probably bring strong wind from N/Wales upwards and across the north of england into scotland.

Looking at met office latest, it seems that the southern half of the UK will be worst hit thins time, with the north escaping it. There arent any warnings for the north this week, but amber for the south.
