Can anyone tell me how to translate "Wind speed 10.0 m/s" into something that makes sense such as "miles per hour" please?I've now got the KB weather station feed which gives me excellent localised data, but I need to translate that wind speed! Is it metres per second or something? Guessing...http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/abs/Weathercam/station/973 pressure and 7.5CBlawin a hoolie and splatting rain.(Excellent typo there of blawin a goolie :D )

I'm guessing it's 10m a second so 10 x 60 = 600m per minute = 36,000m an hour or 36km an hour, so averaging about 22.3mph with higher gusts I'd imagine?

My hob extractor fan was actually leaking water this evening after that squall!  Water must have been driven through the vent.  That's never happened before!

 

Anyway nudging 40mph sustained winds here half an hour ago but died down a wee bit since.

Still some strong gusts out there, fractus cloud flying along. Quite eery.

 

Moon  is in conjunction with Jupiter tonight for those astronomy fans oot there.

 

From the Eumetrain site, couple of images, just to show the lovely cold air and convection pepping up.

Using the 'Cat Flap Model' I can confirm the wind has picked up after a brief lull between 8-10pm. Our cat Beaker has looked at his flap at least every 10 minutes in the past hour and investigated the disturbance several times on the more violent ones. We have had at least one uninvited visitor in our kitchen recently so he is is high patrol for potential 'enemy bogies'.Posted Image

Morning, a sleety shower here turned to heavy snow giving a slushy covering on cars. Could be an interesting day !

Quite excited to wake up to snow that I didn't expect (although I know nothing about forecasting weather but I do read this thread every day!).

The husband says there's no snow 1 mile up the road so feeling lucky.

 

0.5oC here
