Bad case of wind
Depending on which forecast you believe, we're in for an overnight battering from either the north-west (boo!) or the south-east (huzzah!). Am slightly confused as to what to believe, given the two forecasts couldn't be more contradictory if they tried. Am inclined (and so desperately want) to believe the Faeroese online forecast which says south-easterlies. The alternative view is the BBC (they of the teletext forecasts that show a big sun for the current day forecast, and a black cloud with rain for the current day in the five-day forecast. Dependable...) who a) aren't telling me what I want to believe, and b) are never very sure of their forecasts anyway.
What is certain is that it's coming - JL confirms it via text message, "Force 9". The first proper storm of the autumn. What will it bring?
