  1. Blustery sleet showers here now although the wind has eased a tad.
  2. Just had a gust of 89mph down in Fair Isle. Still up to around F8/9 here gusting 60mph+
  3. Wild, windy and getting colder by the minute! Top gust so far 72mph in Lerwick, top gust at my station 64mph. Current wind speeds averaging Gale Force 8, gusting in excess of 60mph. Temp falling quickly (-2.8C in the last hour) currently 4.4C Dew 3.4C. TL unfortunately the vessel you speak of has sunk. Two crewman have been rescued so far and the search is ongoing for the remaining 6.
  4. Windy overnight and this morning. Top gust overnight 72mph in Lerwick. Top gust this morning here 64mph, steady wind speeds of Gale Force 8.
  5. Winds cranking up here again, currently gusting in excess of 40kts
  6. A hefty sleet shower here has left some slight deposits! Friend of mine tells me similar down in Orkney, area around Kirkwall is white.
  7. Windy old night up here! Top gust was recrded at the Met Station in Lerwick at 75mph. I had 60mph which is not bad considering I'm at a lower elevation and somewhat sheltered from the SW! Wintry mix of rain/hail/graupel this morning and feeling very cold - wind chill currently -1C.
  8. Morning all. Wild and windy overnight and this morning. Top gust at my location was 60mph just after midnight. Up at the Met Office station in Lerwick they recorded 75mph but they are on top of a hill and much more exposed than me. Had a wintry mix this morning of rain/hail/graupel. Temp is 4.4C DP is 1.8C
  9. Morning! Wild and windy up here. Top gust was recorded at the Lerwick Met Observatory at 75mph. I recorded 60mph but then I'm somewhat sheltered from the SW. A wintry mix of showers this morning, currently a heavy hail shower. Had a look outside this morning and there was some hail/graupel lying around. Just 5C at the moment, DP = 2.8C so certainly cold enough for wintry showers.
  10. Pressure steadied, rain stopped, wind eased off a touch, I'd say we're in the warm sector. Expect things to start kicking off in a couple of hours.
  11. Nice! Couldn't find a better depiction of a classic Atlantic Low in all its glory

  13. Starting to blow a bit up here now, gusting to 44kts (48mph), 10 min Avg is 38 kts (42mph) I expect the worst during the early hours. Just been outside and made sure nothing can blow around lol. Correction to the above, we've just hit 50kts (55mph)
  14. Wind cranking up here, gusting to 44kts = 48mph. Wind shifting SW'ly.
  15. Indeed John! About average for here lol Yes he still is, good man is Dave Wheeler
