Hi,

Things are starting to look very windy for the start ot the weekend with a risk of some severe gales affecting much of the country.

Current predictions suggest the track of the low pressure will be close to Ireland and then into Scotland early on Saturday. We then get left with a brisk and showery southwesterly flow, before yet anotuher deep low arrives in southern Ireland late on Sunday.

It could be that most of the country is lucky and we get a weather window between these two lows when winds will typically be a F5 or F6, at least from the middle of Saturday onwards.

Above our heads the jet stream is over southern England and Wales with the classic left exit region of the jet stream over Ireland and Scotland, hence the rapid deepening of the area of low pressure.

Will keep you up to date on this one.

Simon

Not good news to people who have left their boat on the mooring. Still, sh1t happens in the yard as well. Thanks for the heads-up Simon, keep us posted.

This could be one the rare weekends where the Solent makes sense. Portsmouth->Hythe should be fine this weekend. Can't really say the same for Tobermoray->Kyle Loch Alsh.

Harrumph! Yes, well..

Why do we pay Simon so much when all we get are crappy forecasts?

It's all beyond me, why, oh why, oh why..........

Thought as it was a weekend the weather would be crap. Thanks Simon for confirming my normal assumption for weekend weather.
I know I was mistaken last weekend.
