Tropical Storm Grace (1 Viewer)

Just got a text about a tropical storm, Grace, that´s about 500 miles of Irish SW coast, and unusually, rather than heading towards Mexico like well-behaved tropical storms do, is heading towards us here. Would that make it an interesting week for Galley Head or somesuch place?

Here's the NOAA website information:

Not sure it will bring anything from across the pond, but it should stir up the seabirds!

Sancho,
No worries, I just looked at the link again, and it seems that Tropical Storm Henri is about to be announced - it's moving NW towards the US west coast, and the normal track after the eastern seaboard is in the general direction of NW Europe. It should (on it's current track) miss the Lesser Antilles, might be worth keeping an eye on.
Off to Spain tomorrow, so I hope it deposits something at Land's End in about a week!

Was it tropical Grace that deposited all that rain in northern england today? In between the rain the air was very muggy and the temperature was about 18 degrees C.
