More extreme weather in the Atlantic

The recent rarities for inland (GND and Frigate Bird in Huddersfield) came just after there had been "Violent Storm" force 11 winds in the Western Approaches.

Brace yourselves. The next low coming in is going to cause hurricane force 12 winds in Rockall, Bailey and further out on the high seas. That is as high as the scale goes, apart from tropical cyclones in the far east where it goes up to force 17.

Look up "High Seas Forecast", also "Beaufort Scale" in Wikepedia for a seabird's eye view of what really bad weather at sea looks like.
