might get a bit windy at BVF this weekend

just thought I'd check out the current weather report for Great Malvern where BVF is this weekend. Might want to tie yourselves to something solid on sunday:

I've not photoshopped that, it's a screenshot I've just taken from metcheck.com.

The actual link is here, they might have fixed it now though (I'm assuming it's a mistake and there's not a massive tornado going on):

That's mental! I thought 80mph was almost Gale force? Perhaps it's referring to the top of the hill, not sure where the nearest weather station is to there. I'm off to the Foo Fighters in MK on Sunday anyway so I'll be alright

Lmao. Typical met office predictions. 312mph gusts? How the hell do they get these figures?

I think "gale force" starts a lot lower than that, more like 50mph. 312mph would probably result in death for most if not all people at bvf!

Windspeed's only 3mph on saturday though.

Thats got to be an error there. Maybe take the last digit off every one and thats a more accurate reading

haha! There goes my cycle ride round Malvern!

hayesey · June 30, 2011, 01:36:45 PM

looked at it again today and it says 3 or 4mph so I'm glad we wont all be killed now.

To be fair, that forecast is probably a fair reflection of the gusts of wind that'll be experienced in Hayesey's tent.
