Nearest hurricane as far as I can see is heading for Bermuda... not Shetland :)

 

Tomorrow is predicted gusts of 61mph down the south end, that's a bit more than we had yesterday. Nothing terrible yet :)

 

It's the tail end of Hurricane Kirk - time to raise the shields Sulu ;)

Think they are reaching a bit... a lot of the rain we get comes from ex-tropical storms that gets swept up in north atlantic lows... Go backwards on magic seaweed, and the ex-tropical storm rain gets caught up in a depression forming over canada. As it moves across the atlantic it incorporates the rain, and then deepens dramatically much nearer to Shetland.

 

Of course I am no scientist or meteorologist. I just know it's going to get windy tomorrow...

Let's see what happens...

 

You'll have to drag the pic to see the track.

Suatained wind speed at the centre, post tropical storm, is 39-73mph.

Winds might have dissipated but we should get rain from it, we'll get the actual depression. Doesn't look too bad on Magic Seaweed. Looks it's heading for iceland anyway. :)
