There were pretty strong gusts in the night, but that was just the warm up to today&#8217;s wind. I had a walk around the cliff to take it all in and the trees and bushes are a swirling, writhing mass. On checking the updated forecast, they have renewed the weather warning and it&#8217;s worse. For tonight they are now predicting winds of up 45m\/s at the coast &#8211; that&#8217;s a staggering 162km\/h or 101mph. And they&#8217;re not exaggerating. The maximum recorded gust at <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Portbou\" target=\"_blank\">Port Bou<\/a> so far has been 41.3m\/s (149km\/h or 92mph).

I looked up the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Beaufort_scale\" target=\"_blank\">Beaufort scale<\/a> and above 32.7m\/s it&#8217;s officially hurricane force winds. We&#8217;re only getting storm force 9 here, thankfully! Saying that, we just had a gust that made all the windows shake and I just heard something smash outside.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"float: left; border: 1px solid black; margin: 8px;\" title=\"Synoptic for today.\" src=\"http:\/\/www.judithmole.net\/images\/251010a.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>The noise outside is wild, so we will see what the night brings. To take our mind off the weather we went to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.judithmole.net\/blog_map.html?mylat=42.181910&amp;mylong=2.488010&amp;mytext=Olot\" target=\"_blank\">Olot<\/a> to check out cheap package tour in Lanzarote, but unfortunately (for travel agents) it&#8217;s cheaper to book on the internet, so our post-conference treat is all paid for. One week flying in the Canaries, from the end of November.
