    Today's 12pm Satrep has not one but two polar lows off the west coast of Norway! Not classics, it has to be said, with the southernmost one being a warm core remnant of Monday's depression, so not a result of the usual instability of a cold northerly over warm waters, but it's still good to see the words "polar low" being bandied about this early in the season! :D

    It gave 33 gusting 45 knot winds at Halten Fyr, so it was above the 27 knot minimum windspeed threshold to be classified a polar low.

    I hope this thread will be bumped several times this winter, with polar lows being a common feature to the north west of Ireland:D
