Good morning from Caleta, yesterday's forecast was just about right in that it turned out to a sunny day earlier than forecast by about 11am, still breezy but dropped as the day went on.

This morning at 7am a fair amount of cloud overhead, 14C, a very light breeze and a small amount of condensation on the car.

Wikipedia definition of Gale Force wind -

A gale is a strong wind, typically used as a descriptor in nautical contexts. The U.S. National Weather Service defines a gale as 34–47 knots (63–87 km/h, 17.5–24.2 m/s or 39–54 miles/hour) of sustained surface winds. Forecasters typically issue gale warnings when winds of this strength are expected.

Morning John, I agree. When I checked a day later, the online forecasts all revised their calculations, downscaling the severity of the wind. But saying that, looking at the forecasts this morning, it still looks like a breezy night ahead.
