Weather watch during the Russian Naval Drills off the SW coast from 3-2-22

Will be interesting to see if the weather has any effect on the Russian Naval drills of the SW coast from around next Thurs for about 5 days ( if it goes ahead or just propaganda or diversion tactics ). The sea state is set to get good and lumpy with some strong NW'lys showing up at this stage. They wont be welcome in Bantry Bay if it gets too rough that is for sure! Not great weather for Irish fishing trawlers heading out to protest.

Currently not looking too rough for the size of the naval shipping I would imagine, I presume they would be expected to function in fairly inclement weathers.

Will be interesting to see if some good satellite pictures show up and any reconnaissance footage . I'm sure a lot of focus from around the world on the waters off the SW in the coming week .

They might get blown back to Russia via Spain!

Here's hoping! Wouldnt shed to many tears if an aul named storm showed up and spoiled their war games.

I think they have enough on their hands at the moment then to worry about us !

Nothing out of the ordinary weather wise, seasonal weather a bit blowy at times and sea a bit high but nothing they are not used to on a daily basis I would imagine.

Like Supercell I was hoping for a good February storm to make things unpleasant for them and spoil their posturing.

HP between the Azores and Ireland for now anyway looks to keep most of the weather North of their intended position.
