Looks like quite an active front passing through Mid to South Wales SW England. Aa ever the front is weak near us and offering nothing of note. I guess it's rather squally down there.

Aye they dont make winds like this down south do they John!! Were you up here in Jan 1993 when the Braer went aground? That January there were 18 consecutive days when the winds were Gale Force 8 or above!! If that happened on the mainland the whole place would be laid waste :doh:

Hi cookie!

Yes its certainly much calmer today with just a light breeze and sunny spells with the occasional shower! The ferry actually made it in today so there will actually be some food in the shops so I'll have to pop out and get some stuff! Pleasures of living on remote islands :lol:
