Also evidence of winds increasing at Malin Hd now in the the strongest wind zone south of the low , winds are west 44 Gust 66kt at 12Z (77mph)
Not sure theres really any evidence of a sting jet though having developed. In the end development was more akin to a classic norwegian model low than an SK development.

Hi All,

Strong winds at our station in Shap - the 10 minute mean right now is 30mph. The max gust is not as high as the metO site though - only 48mph - so perhaps the anemometer is a little sheltered. Anyhow - will post anything over 50mph! - lots over 40 mph.

Does it look like the strongest part of this has already past the Lake District area?

Cheers,

Mike

I'm in Porthcawl for a few days, measured wind speed at 15:00 & 15:30 using a hand held skywatch device. It was gusting 33mph at 15:00 and it was up to 37mph at 15:30.
