Any info would be great thanks as have just put up a trampoline for the wee man.

Hi Changi,
just seen your post, sorry.
not using the normal chart i like as it's too late (early in the morning, i hate not being able to sleep!) but at a quick glance at the moment, thursday is going to be quite breezy from the north (40+mph), and sunday looks like blowing a gale (70+mph) from the west, they're the two worst bits that jump out at me, otherwise wet, miserable, cold, dreich and generally pretty yukky!
Will have a look for you tomorrow evening on the charts i like, they come out about 5pm so i shall do you a proper one off those charts about 6pm :)

Cheers Tuggs, will wait for your update afore deciding wether the trampoline stays or gets taken apart again.

changi,
if you have it sheltered from a n/w to n direction of wind then leave it, if not then take it down, thursday evening is when the 40+ will be here for a few hours. it's the sunday one i don't like because i was using the 18z charts instead of the 12z ones which are more reliable for up here... so take it that tomorrow is right and i'll update sunday later as looking this morning at th 00z charts the wind on sunday is only 20+ lol that's how much they vary!
