Ok "WeatherMaster" maybe you can answer my question that I posted earlier as you obvioulsy view the UK / Wind speed direction charts as much as I do.

"What do the lines represent in the above charts, surely they are not isobars as they seem to bear no relation to the strength of the wind, is it the speed of the front tracking through over time ? That is, if they are very close then the "wind" will track through very quickly, if they are well spaced, but it is still windy, then the wind will take longer to track through?????"

Don't pay much attention to them but they show the wind direction and i have found the closer the lines are the stronger the wind and gusts if they are far apart the wind doesnt seem that strong i have done tests since its always windy here in the winter. But im not really sure but im sure thats it.

[The PIT]

Scots are men they won't notice. Down south it's all girlie's hence the fuss. Just a minor blow considering it's winter.
