A similar thing happened at Aberdyfi, over the last couple of days.

The Lifeboat, max wind reading reached its highest figure which is 110!!!! So it may have been more. Crazy shit, glad I wasnt out on the 17!!

It must have been broken before it read 110 (unless that is km/h). The last I heard was that the 109mph was the maximum gust according to the met office for the whole UK and it was certainly windier in Scotland than it was here.

Aberporth weather Bouy had a max gust of 42 knots at around midnight last night and Valley Weather station in N. Wales a max gust of 54 knots... (sustained windspeeds were 30 knots for Aberporth and 38 knots for N. Wales).... Shame it was dark or I might have been able to use my rarey used 3.4m sail!!!
