Spinner72 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 You aye keen its the start o winter when folk mention the wind. Gie it a month or so an you start mentionin whin dir no wind! I must admit its my time o year, Shetland is beutiful aa da time but my preference is fur a raw day wi a good gale liftin da sea, real fresh air dat leaves a taste o saat on you lips..

crofter Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Met Office gale warning for 60nm radius to 12:00 tomorra gusting to F9-10. But that could be well West of land. Magic seaweed offering F9 12pm, 3pm, tomorrow - for the whole of Shetland, stronger wind (F10) looks like it will pass to the north of Unst.

Spinner72 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 is there an sic website that i can view the yell ferry updates? The Ferry Service Status Page should be up to date, they are also good at posting updates to thier facebook page. I find the Text alerts are most useful though.

DizzyKipper Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 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 http://www.stornowaygazette.co.uk/news/local-headlines/ex-hurricane-on-its-way-1-2503031 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyKipper Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 If you're worried about hurricanes, keep an eye on hurricane Leslie. It's moving up the east coast of USA strengthening all the while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyKipper Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 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. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at2+shtml/203645.shtml?gm_track#contents 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
