Which suggests one should avoid being on one of the Fresian Islands around noon on Monday - all those isobars practically join hands.

lotta windmills on the friesians...:-)
from an email thats going atround..
we are forecast high winds overnight and into tomorrow
However, the forecast wind output overnight is right down at @1500MW out of 8185MW metered although it then increases up to 4200MW as the wind gusts abate.
Must be some serious cutout in there.
in fact they are shutting 3/4 of all the farms down for the duration, by the look of it. Of course that may not be enough..:-)

What it really means is that even with all the power of the Met Office super computers forecasting is not an exact science. What is not in doubt is that it is going to be very big storm. Gusts are notoriously hard to forecast as they can be very localised.

We're just hoping that it's not as bad as is being suggested as our eldest son (10) is going by coach and ferry to Paris with Trafford Youth Orchestra tomorrow morning :(

In 1987 I was entertained by my wife asking if I thought my boat would be alright. By the time I'd got up, opened the courtesy door to the garage, looked, and said "Looks OK to me" she'd remembered I was painting it and was laughing her head off!

One of the trains that has been cancelled until they have checked that all is well, no trees fallen onto tracks, etc.?

Hope he has good sea legs... I don't but managed to survive a night ferry crossing that was a bit rough. Didn't have a cabin just a "couchette", gave that up as a bad lot as you kept half rolling out of it. Eventually jamed myself between the floor and bulkhead and got a bit of kip. It wasn't until we were coming into sight of land again that I realised how much the boat was moving, horizon going from 30+ degrees above horizontal to 30+ degrees below...

I had one of those many years ago. Was supposed to sail from St. Malo to Portmouth, but they couldn't get into St. Malo because of the weather, so we had to meet the ferry at Cherbourg. Force 8 to 9. I slept across a row of seats and woke twice - once when what sounded like all the crockery in the restaurant area fell on the floor and the other when half the shelves of duty-free collapsed (I was sleeping opposite the door to duty-free at the time.
Oddly enough, these days I struggle with rough crossings.
