Spending a few days down in London over the weekend, thought I might check the weather on the odd chance that its not actually turned to winter and might get some sun.

Is this normal for the wind speed to be breaking 310MPH? yikes I thought to myself!

Anyway off to dig a big hole in the garden and bury the shed in it for shelter.

That's happened on quite a few occasions. On checking before christmas last year, it reported wind speeds in Farnborough being 1294mph. Followed the next day by heavy sleet and winds in excess of 2000mph.

hehe That happens sometimes on metcheck.
The online forecasts are computer generated
and whatever there software does it sometimes
spits out crazy wind predictions like that.
I have seen it before.
Large pinches of salt required IMO.
