Approximate time of peak gusts at some stations

[Jack Harrison]

Another of your splendid charts Bruce, but what happened in Scotland?  Kinloss recorded a gust of 104 km.hr (here inland a gentle 67 km/hr maximum).

My wife qualified for her 'gale badge' today.  She (independent lady) insisted on going out fully aware of the [as it turned out accurate] forecast and was walking in the Findhorn/Kinloss  at the very time of that peak wind.

Bruce.  Your charts that I so admire.  Am I missing something?  On my monitor (1440 x 900) the station circles are a little small to read easily.

Here are the psudo-anemographs for Bealach Na Ba (in Wester Ross) and Kinloss for the last couple of days. 

I know where I would have preferred to have been today tell your wife! 

I'll try and remember to increase the plot size next time!

I know where I would have preferred to have been today - tell your wife!

She loves the cafe at the Findhorn Foundation  So do I but I am trying to keep off the sticky sugar-laden cakes.
