In western parts the northwesterly has been gale force at times around Elvis II in the last 24 hours, any other day gusts as high as 70 mph would have merited a yellow wind warning. As far as I can see the centre of Elvis II didn’t quite behave itself today as far as the model runs of yesterday predicted it would, and much of our part of the Scotland saw light winds and little in the way of rain in the centre of the low.
