Weather over the last 24 hours on the Sevenstones Lightship

As the low or depression passes and the centre approaches the south west the air pressure decreases and the wind speed on average increases...

as does the wave height which slowly builds as the weather system passes through…

the cursor placed over Newlyn on the Earth Wind Map gives a wind speed of approximately 60 km/h this morning.

Stormy Newlyn

Doubtless the local surfers will be out later taking adavantage of a good wave down the back of the quay - better known as 'The Graveyard' - not for the feint-hearted!
