I am an avid amateur weatherman, as is shown by my occasional postings on tropical hurricanes. Being in the Western Isles of Scotland gives me a grandstand view of some pretty impressive weather. The January 2005 hurricane (a strong Atlantic storm) passed during the hours of darkness. But the St Martin's Storm of 11 November 2005 peaked during daylight, and gave me some great pics.
The forecast for this outpost of the UK is often wrong. Like today. We are being warned against force 9 winds overnight, but this does not warrant the issuing of a severe weather warning by the Met Office. If you watch the forecasts on BBC TV, you'll see Stornoway marked, but the rest of the chart in that area is commonly a pack of lies.
Anyway, it's coming up to 1 pm, a shower is marching up from the south and it's windy. A wintry blast is due in from the north overnight, and it'll be VERY cold tomorrow. Strong winds combined with a maximum temperature of 6C (as opposed to 14C today) [43 and 57F respectively] will make it feel quite Arctic.
