Latest wind gusts at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 11pm tonight, now up to 58.4mph from the SW with a mean wind speed of 33.6mph. If my memory serves me right, that makes today our windiest day of this winter.
This means that whilst we haven't had anything like as much rain from Storm Dennis as what we had from Storm Ciara, it is Storm Dennis which is now giving us our strongest winds.
The forecasters in the run-up to this event were saying that there would be a bit less wind from Storm Dennis, but with rain being a bigger issue than was the case with Storm Ciara.
That may well be the case down south (which just goes to show how England-biased these forecasts often are) but as far as this part of the world, they have completely got that the wrong way around and to me, there should probably have been an amber warning for wind in place for tonight's wind event in this part of the world, instead of the yellow warning for that which we are currently under.
The north of Edinburgh, usually always missing out on snow events which occur not just within the rest of Scotland or the UK, but also within the rest of Edinburgh.
