I note the new MetO model is keen on some unseasonally strong winds on Saturday - we might get into the 30s in terms of gusts in the typical "Euro monsoon", but getting into the 40s in summer is much less common.
GFS has mid 30s at the same time, and as we saw time and again during winter, GFS tends to overestimate gusts... by a good 10mph or more.
Seeing the MetO output have much higher wind gusts makes me raise an eyebrow... I'll be keeping a close eye on this one, as high winds are my least favourite weather. 40+ gusts with the trees in full leaf will be "interesting", put it that way!
Screengrab from the MetO site for reference - I'll post an update, assuming I remember, on Saturday.
