  1. You've answered your own moanings as to why you didn't get those type of gusts then.. "They dropped it this morning"

    Why get your panties in a twist on here? If you have issues with the MO, email them! Most folks on here don't want to read posts that show up an attitude problem because they didn't get the weather they wanted. Posted Image

    I'm not moaning Im stating facts. They dropped the warning 7 hours in to the allotted time frame only because it didn't materialize so it's not as if they foreseen it, it just didn't happen. It's clear you're a simple idiot with nothing constructive to say just make up stuff as you've shown in your previous posts. Thanks for the irrelevant input

  2. Wow, Is this what its come down to? Pure speculation?

     

    So, Rather than someone showing me a reliable chart that is progging  150mph+ gusts, We have resorted to "It happened before so why not again?" 

     

    clap clap

     

    I'm not arguing that it hasn't happened before, Im not arguing that its not possible tonight. ( I already said it might be.. )

    What im arguing is that we have no evidence that this is the case other than speculation, And I can feel it in mah olde bones.

    You said you doubt it will ever happen. I merely supplied you with evidence that it has happened before and reached 173mp/h high level gust UK.

    I said I had no idea what winds will reach tonight so I don't really understand you condescending tone and I'm not speculating any thing I supplied facts and you ignorance

  3. Tbh, I doubt that will even be reached there.

    150mph+ (158 mph) even for 1 minute of gusts is classed as Category5 or "Super typhoon" size and power.

     

    Not going to happen.

     

    And please, dont just read the pressure for wind speed

    Just because its 925mb, This is not the full picture and is not representative of wind speeds.

    Higher has already been recorded in the past so doubt no more

    I have no idea what gusts will reach at altitude in Scotland so I let you two get back to it 

     

    Gust speed Highest gust speed records (low-level sites) Country Speed Date Location Scotland 123 142 knots mph 13 February 1989 Fraserburgh (Aberdeenshire) Northern Ireland 108 124 knots mph 12 January 1974 Kilkeel (County Down) Wales 108 124 knots mph 28 October 1989 Rhoose (Vale of Glamorgan) England 103 118 knots mph 15 December 1979 Gwennap Head (Cornwall)

    The highest gust speed from a high level site is 150 knots (173 mph) at Cairngorm Summit (1,245 metres AMSL) on 20 March 1986.

  4. Over land - 60 - 70mph gusts. It's very difficult though to forecast over land because friction gets in the way. I don't think 40 - 50 mph is an unreasonable forecast for wind speed. It's very severe but that looks quite likely.

     

     

    I don't think 60-70mp/h is a red warning. It reached 84 mp/h over western tyrone on wednesday and the damage was minimal so 60-70 is nothing out of the ordinary

  5. I think the Glenshane pass is the place to be tonight. Insane blizzards. Surprised there are no snow warnings in place especially for higher ground. Slack if you ask me. Surprised there isn't more a buzz about this storm. Everyone is transfixed by snow the whole time haha

    Amber and Yellow warnings of HIGH WINDS has been issued for Northern Ireland.

    During Wednesday a deep area of low pressure will move close to the Northwest of the UK as it does so it will bring the risk of storm force winds during Wednesday night from around 9pm continuing overnight and into Thursday morning. 

    AMBER Warning 

    It is within the AMBER warning area where we expect the highest winds, gusts up to or possibly in-excess of 85mph. This is likely to lead to disruption to travel, damage to trees, power lines and risk to buildings i.e damage to Roofing, weak structures and windows due to possible flying debris (Caravans and Mobile homes are particularly vulnerable) interruptions or loss of power supplies is also possible.

    Yellow Warning

    Within the Yellow warning area wind gusts may reach 60 - 70mph locally this again may lead to some disruption to travel and risk of localised interruptions to power supplies.

    Please note both the AMBER and Yellow warnings may be subject to changes, please stay tuned as FLASH warnings may be issued. Heavy rain is also expected although no warning is in force at present. 

    The public are advised to take extra care and be prepared for disruption to travel, possible disruption to power supplies and possible damage to buildings i.e Roofing.

    For those intending to travel by Sea, it is advisable to keep a check on updates from ferry operators, as Delays and/or cancallations are likely. And similar advice for those wishing to fly.

    By Road: Please refer to NI traffic watch for further advice on road conditions, Bridge closures and speed restrictions are likely 

    By Rail: Please check with Translink for further information on any disruption to Rail travel, as speed restrictions may be placed on some rail lines which may lead to delays.

    You may also notice a new warning icon on our map. This is for Coastal event's, this means sea conditions are going to be extremely rough and may cause damage and flooding to coastal areas. The public are advised to avoid Beach fronts, coastal footpaths/roads and sea walls due to risk of high over topping waves and risk to life

     

    Proper met offfice go for 60-70mp/h coastal event. The two couldn't be more different
