    Perhaps this has been mentioned elsewhere, but
    Just heard on Morning Ireland, that sometime next week that they're going to adopt Km/hr for windspeeds. Going to get very high windspeeds so. :D

    160 gusts possible today ;)

    Obviously we've been metric as regards temperature and rainfall for quite some time.

    I hope they don't do that for england, im enjoying having MPH as i understnad that, my mom use's 'F' instead of 'C' in temperatures, which also gets on my nerves. See i was brought up with MPH and 'C', so I'd like it all to stay that way.

    Aaaah, but when the wind comes in to one of these new 50 km/ph zones, will it have to slow down too? :)

    Would the cameras be able to see the wind?

    Debris? If a piece of paper or a rug or something got picked up and blew infront of the camera, im sure it would pick that up.
