Strong gales out west

[bekisman]

Is anyone else getting these very strong gales? (we're out west) - had a quick look on BBC weather and it says 18 mph for Thurso, here can't stand up!

Ignore BBC they useless!

Try windguru.cz, about the best wind forecast site I've found.

Says 41 mph for now and I reckon they about right!

any idea weather it'll die down before this evening tugs? i know you said tea time but see that you updated and said forecast was a couple of hours behind ?

It's certainly pretty windy in Caithness now. There's snow on the Wick/Thurso road and snow at the Ord (check out the trafficscotland.org webcam). But then again, it is January :)

And the council gritters are out!

Hiya, just back in from work, yeah it's dying down now, peak was just after 4pm going by a quick look at my data, so your chimneys and wheelie bins should be safe now :D
