Yes I've seen your post. Though for some reason I am limited to 10 posts a day and don't know why. Thanks for the links guys.

Not what I would have called naughty but apparently have been. Anyway, back on subject, wind is still quite strong here but sea breezes on the coast now. Wind is forecast to die down in a few hours so should get one then.

A sea breeze arrived about an hour ago giving a very sharp temperature drop and an increase in humidity. I would think the increase in humidity is due to the temperature being closer to the dew point and the air is more wet as it's coming off the sea. Also, I noticed a sudden drop in wind speed shortly before the sea breeze arrived. However, there was no significant change when the sea breeze arrived. Is this normal? I do love the sea breeze phenomena.
