The Funny WEATHER on Gough Island.

What away to start your morning shift. We woke-up to strong winds and Rain and Drizzle conditions.
This was not Forecast for the morning period of the day. But this is the time, Weather Observers really like about their duty is the weather events on offer.

The Edinburgh fishing vessel is still trying to continued with cray fishing in this conditions. Very bumpy drive out there to them. The sea conditions at 12:00, SWELL-Directions: 220degrees, Period: 06 minutes, Height: 12 (6 meters). I rather enjoy time in base. Due to Swells, I was having no luck in recording the Sea Temperature.

The winds are really strong today. Recording 1300UTC 27024G41KT.

Here is the expecting weather conditions for today.
Wed 24/02/2016:
Synopsis : A weak cold front approaches the island from the west.
Wind     : W to SW 15 to 25.
Wx       : Partly cloudy with light rain in the evening.
0600 UTC Shipping Chart.

Rain and Drizzle earlier this morning.

Visibility over the sea was bad and also the Swells is visible.

Lenticular clouds, technically known as alto cumulus standing lenticularis, are ... over rough terrain and are sometimes described as a "stack of pancakes." ...

Very nice.

This clouds was observe just before I launch the afternoon Radio Sonde ascent.
