One forecast that I saw yesterday John had strong winds from West this afternoon building to gales in the evening with possibility of rain! It also had the Calima clearing completely by lunchtime and returning after the weekend. How on earth are we meant to plan stuff when there are such discrepancies?! Glad I don't have a boat.....

Well they got the yellow warning for wind correct but the forecast was completely wrong as far as the wind speeds are concerned, it has been blowing a hooley
