Wednesday notes

Overcast day today, with a fair old breeze, but not cold. We were threatened with heavy rain, but none has arrived. In fact, it's fairly bright. Rainfall radar imagery from the Met Office shows the boundary of the rain some 60 miles to the south. Let's hope it STAYS there.

The tourist season is in full flight, with accommodations in and around Stornoway pretty full up. Yet, people still come off the ferry (which is sailing in the next 5 minutes) without prior bookings and expecting to just turn up and lie down, if you know what I mean.

Yesterday, a tropical disturbance formed southeast of Oman. An immediate flurry of Omani visitors to my tropical cyclone blog followed, which is continuing today. Even though I have indicated that the weather feature in question has dissipated and poses no threat to anyone any more. What may yet pose a threat to the Indian subcontinent is a tropical disturbance near the Andaman Islands. Will keep y'all posted if that turns into a cyclone.
