Sorry to go on, everyone, but I've really got a bee in my bonnet
over this. Anyway here is an evaluation of Piers' first "killer
storm" period October 26th - November 1st

Maximum gusts in the UK were:

October 26 // 62mph // Stornoway
October 27 // 54mph // Lerwick
October 28 // 58mph // Mumbles
October 29 // 48mph // Kirkwall
October 30 // 43mph // Foula
October 31 // 55mph // Fair Isle
November 1 // 43mph // Tiree Island

I may have jumped the gun but I've also written to the Express
quoting these figures to vent my anger...

Surprising! seemingly supporting Corbyn?
Beaufort scale..
Storm = 48-55 knots (55-63mph)

Beaufort Forces, by definition, refer to the mean wind speeds, not gust
speeds.
