Came across this interactive weather map today called earth.
Hope this link works?


http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/orthographic=-20.51,60.24,1024

Click the EARTH button to open the menu

You can choose what you want to see by choosing different menu options.

If you click the ABOUT button in the open menu mode it tells about updates.

You can zoom and rotate to the main area of your interest.

Enjoy

Extreme UK weather warning just being released

A very deep depression gradually starts to fill as it moves east between Scotland and Iceland, bringing gales or severe gales to the south and storm force winds to the north.

Wednesday for the north and Thursday for the south

Predicted gusts of wind of up to 70-80mph here for tonight & tomorrow. Need to make sure I've got the motorised dish parked right to not catch that wind face on.

Live in a rural area and prone as we are to power cuts in storms with trees falling over the electric cables, have wheeled out and fired up the generator.

This and the wood burning stove are basic essentials when the leccy goes.

Panic setting in re my dishes....
70 to 80 mph direct westerly winds expected after midnight..
The worst possible wind direction for me..
Nothing I can do but tightly cross my fingers and pray to Higgs.
If I still have a roof and dishes intact in the morning ...the bonus should be the remaining foliage on the troublesome tree might have vanished.
Good luck everyone North of Birmingham...

Surely without Higgs there would be no matter, ergo no problem?

The 1.2 stood the wind test early this year 90 mph +, the winds starting to get up here now so probably heading your way VS ,

This mount would be nice for windy conditions .
