Mike Fox Posted February 4, 2014 Report Posted February 4, 2014 Sitting at home listening to the wind build, I thought I'd have a look at the Shipping Forecast, to see what it's really like out there... Sea areas Wight and Portland have a "mere" Storm 10 mentioned....with sea state High or Very High but Plymouth is as follows: Plymouth Gale warnings - Issued: 1546 UTC Tue 04 FebStorm force 10 veering southwesterly soon Shipping Forecast - Issued: 1625 UTC Tue 04 Feb Wind South veering southwest, gale 8 to storm 10. Sea State High or very high, becoming phenomenal for a time. Weather Rain or squally showers. Visibility Moderate or poor. I had to look it up...Phenomenal - Wave height more than 14.0 m Glad I'm not out there! Mike Paul J 1 Quote
