    Flash contest to see who can predict the highest wind gust recorded from the storm system approaching at the moment, and at which Met Eireann Station it will be recorded.

    Gusts between midday on Sunday and Midday on Tuesday will be counted.

    Scoring as follows:

    5 points for correct location.

    Up to 15 points for correct speed in knots. Lose one point for every knot error.

    No prizes!!! ( unless someone wants to volunteer one . . .:P)


    Competition closes at 3.00 a.m. Sunday morning.

    Malin is probably more sheltered than Belmullet in a WSW wind so I'll try

    Belmullet 81 kts

    It'd be interesting to stick an anemometer at the cliffs on Arranmore or Tory to see what they'd read

    This will come in handy. http://www.readyforanythingnow.com/Explanation/knots%20to%20miles%20conversion%20chart.htm

    I wonder will Finner come close to any of Belmullet or Malins readings. Its on Donegal Bay.
    Real Pity there isn't a weather station on Rossan Point (Most Westerly Point in Donegal), I'm sure it would rival Belmullet.

    Il go with Malin Head 89 Knots.

    For the competition:
    Malin 88kn

    For curiosity:
    Belmullet 91kn
    Cork 52kn

    GF's parents have a 2nd home in Achill - I'll have to ping them to let them know about the winds forecast, the house is rather exposed to the southwest.
