And on another weather site, the current forecast for the next week shows:
(But this site is known for having absurd figures so should not be relied on. Otherwise I will either explode due to the collapse of air pressure on Tuesday morning, and if I were to survive that, then on Friday to Sunday those wind speeds would knock every single building flat but could strip the soil away leaving just rock)
