Storm system now outa here, damage left in it's wake, now colder air is ready to swing back down again!
As forecasted, 100 mph winds hit the windswept British Isles over the past 48 hours as sea level pressures dropped into the 945 to 955mb range, considered low enough to support "damaging winds" and this was certainly the case with Cairngorm Mountain in the Scottish Highlands topping the wind speed list at around 107 mph, Great Dun Fell in the north Pennines of England saw gusts to 100 mph and at sea level gusts beyond 80 mph were achieved. Capel Curig in Snowdonia registered a 91 mph gust and the hours on either side of that gust produced 86 mph gusts, so this was nothing to stiff at for sure.
Apparently Blackpool's illuminations were damaged according to a report and costs may tally a staggering £1 million to repair!
Holyhead on Angelsey saw gusts reach 78 mph and up and down Irish Sea shipping lanes, travel grinded to a hault because seas were simply too rough.
Though it's not going to become barbarically cold over the next 5-7 days, cooler air will trickle it's way southwards again thanks to the departure of the 945mb low, thus days will be cooler and nights this week will likely get back down into sub-freezing territory.
As for the medium range which I shall discuss over the weekend, temperatures should start to take a downward trend towards the end of November and into the first week of December. Stay tuned for more over the weekend!
Vagaries of the Weather
India & Sub-Continental Asia Weather

Friday, November 12, 2010
A lot was expected from Cyclone Jal for a good revival, or should I say commencemnt, of the NEM.
But, short of hitting the East coast of India, Jal started its anomalous behaviour.
Short of striking the east coast, on the 4th. of November, it met with wind shear resistance, and started weakening, and struck the coast as a DD on the 7th.
A dryish DD ! The rain precipitation was nothing much, and lasted just for barely 12 hrs. Within 10 hrs of landfall, we were searching for Jal !
On re emerging in the Arabian Sea, on the 9th, its performance was again "unworthy" of the season. It did justice with fairly good rains along the west coast ! Karwar with 207 mms in 24 hrs was the highest. And several places in Goa and Konkan had 80- 150 mms.
Then it entered Saurashtra, where actually the people are looking to dry weather, lest their winter crops get damaged. But, on the 11th, it rained 60-70 mms in the desert region of Kutch and Jaisalmer.Central India too received heavy thundershowers.
Not to mention Mumbai, which has been receiving frequent rains from Diwali day. Today, 12th.Friday, there was drizzling in Mumbai.
And, the clouding, spreading north, has practically thrown the winter in the region for a toss.High day and night temperatures, up to +10c above normal are recorded in the NW.
No W.D. seen for NW soon.
And, the south, T.N. and interior Karnataka, are still awaiting a proper commencement of the NEM. All hopes on another system from the Bay.
Nothing in sight as on today, and no system formation seen till Monday, at least. I only hope the expectations of a good system doesnt fizzle out.
I mention this, as I see an Easterly wave. a mild one, coming towards the T.N. coast by Monday (15th.) . This would only mean a longer wait for a regular system.
