Looks like the BBC^» weather app and website have returned to normal. A glitch in their data feed meant they were forecasting temperatures of over 400C and wind speeds of 13000mph for parts of the UK^▸

Interesting comment on Kirk. I had assumed that the deluge we had on Tuesday afternoon / evening had come from it.

Apparently not. I thought we might have got a bit of very wet air spun off Kirk, but instead a new depression was spun up by one of two bits of jet stream to the south of us. They were also what shepherded Kirk away from us.

I was briefly alarmed by the forecast of hurricane strength winds, but only very briefly until I noticed the impossible temperatures and wind speeds that were also forecast.
And also the absence of any relevant Met Office severe weather warnings.

A proper intercity train has a minimum of 8 coaches, gangwayed throughout, with first at one end, and a full sized buffet car between first and standard.
It has space for cycles, surfboards,luggage etc.
A 5 car DMU^▸ is not a proper inter-city train. The 5+5 and 9 car DMUs are almost as bad.

Dawlish lifts: dead again until further notice allegedly.

As are the lifts at Exeter St Davids. Does Exeter deploy the barrow crossing when that happens?
