He could change his shirt and put on a tie but would it fool you?
Met Office
The Met Office single site forecasts
After over a year of using it for Strathpeffer, I find the forecast usually wrong more times than it’s right.
Everything bar the kitchen sink
Storm Brendan is knocking seven bells out of the Western Isles at the moment…
Brendan faster, deeper
Call it delusions of grandeur if you like, but sometimes I get the distinct impression that someone down in the forecasting office in Exeter does occasionally read some of the stuff I write on xmetman.

Windy warnings
Weather warnings – another feature that I’ve just discovered in the great Windy.com web site.
A windy Monday next week
Monday certainly looks like it will be very windy so it’s a fair bet that this could be named storm Brendan if Met Eireann have anything to do with it. Tuesday has the potential for being even windier across southern area as the secondary low looks well placed for rapid development.
Today’s cancelled warning

The Capel Curig wind tunnel
The Met Office are not taking any chances after getting caught out on two separate occasions in the last week with gusts of 70 mph at Capel Curig.
