Storm Warning For Monday
Have just seen a genuine storm warning on another web site for Monday.
It seems that the south and west of the UK will be worst affected with winds at 70mph and possibly 100mph in exposed areas.

Presently the fronts are so close together that forecasting anything on a particular day seems impossible. I've been watching the forecasts the last week or two and most are accurate in that the forecast weather happens somewhere, but are wide of the mark, for a given time and location.

Yep, looks like it will be fun tomorrow! Spent most of the day trying to chase down owners to get them to tie their machines down properly and then having to do it myself in the dark when they don't turn up. Not sensible if you've £250,000 of a/c without any tie downs!!

On the basis of all the warnings, I re booked to fly Thurs, it did'nt seem a good idea to fly with such warnings in force. What have we got, blue skies, 7 knot wind, its a lovely day here. What happened to the storms? Anyone out there got what they said.

I think that the depression is moving further south than originally anticipated. The Met Office is now saying that Holland, Belgium and parts of Germany will get the worst of the weather. However they are saying that a further depression will come through tonight bringing high winds for the UK especially the south west.

Comparing the LHR, LGW and LCY TAFs at 0720 this morning was a complete joke.
They would have to have been a hundred miles apart for all of them to be accurate.
If only I had believed LCY instead of LGW I'd have an MEP/IR renewal by now

Not sure what's happened to all this blowy stuff. Went up this afternoon at Elstree with my FI to blow away the winter cobwebs and get my currency back.
Calm and still at 1230 when we decided to go out to play, northerly and brisk at 1330, westerly and brisker at 1430 when we got off (no crosswinds ... shame!) and then moderate westerlies again at 1530 when we completed the detail. Not a lot of traffic about either.
Bizarre and changeable winds, but where's this mooted storm?
