Latest shipping forecast for sea area Plymouth this afternoon - more to come!
90 mph winds hit penzance Dock
Filmed some two and a half hours before high water - the wind was full of sleet for a time.
Still at sea and fishing in force 10s
The French fishing boats Boree Al and the Iroise are both fishing on the edge of the 12 mile limit north of St Ives...
the weather with them, according to the AIS data is South Easterly Force 10 or 48.2 knots - this is not as bad as the weather in which the Le Sillon was damaged last weekend.
From the horse's mouth #ukstorm
Falling rapidly? - Don't tap it!
The air pressure continues to fall rapidly at the SevenStones Lightship |
and now the wind has backed round slowly from the West over the last 24 hours to Sou'sou'easterly - the worst possible direction for Newlyn.
When the wind blows...
The shipping forecast for where three french boats are working:
Latest readings from the Sevenstones Lightship at 1200 today showing the air pressure plummeting this morning...
with a look at what is to come from the 'live' world wind map...125 km/h is just under 80 mph...
which won't be good news for the three 23m French boats trawling off St Ives, though it's not like they don't know the wind is coming. Also in the bay off Godrevy is a small 90m coaster sheltering from the wind.
