    I just hope that this false data isn't being used to inform future forecast models, or to make decisions about navigation of aircraft etc. Or, God forbid, decisions about evacuations of residents. I suppose it goes to show that a human eye is still invaluable no matter how sophisticated computer data can seem.

    The contours would seem to make sense if it is a pocket of high pressure. But if it's a faulty buoy then maybe the model is just trying to depict this anomaly.

    The buoy data was staring me in the face! Hover your mouse near the centre of that mysterious Irish Sea feature and it gives you data for buoy "M2", seemingly near the centre. And the pressure there is.... 1039mb?!?

    Would it be possible for anyone to verify this chart with live pressure data from the Irish Sea, from buoys etc? I've spent a few minutes scratching around on the web trying to find this information, but being a newbie when it comes to weather I didn't find anything of use.

    Looking at the lightning map, it would seem that there's quite a fierce little thunderstorm brewing in approximately the same area as the centre of the storm. Would anyone be able to suggest why this is occurring now and not sooner? Is it to do with the storm passing over colder parts of the ocean as it tracks north?

    Yep, and of course, as the NHC advisory stated, "Individuals are urged to not focus on the exact track of Ophelia since strong winds and heavy rainfall will extend well outside of the NHC forecast cone."

    It does look like there would now have to be quite a sharp eastern diversion in its track for its centre to make a direct hit on the Irish southern coast.

    Looks like there have been a few lightning strikes around Truro / St Austell in the last few minutes. See: https://www.lightningmaps.org

    For context, here is an oft-misunderstood historic chart of hurricanes. Note the one that skipped above the Baltics!
