Thanks Lars - I expect there are quite a few inhomogeneities in the wind speed & gust record over the decades due to instrumentation changes; we briefly mention a few (e.g. Dines V cups) in Graham, E. and Smart, D., 2021. 'Hurricane' Debbie–60 years on: a fresh analysis. Weather (00431656), 76(9).

Yes, I think you're right, Lars! Let me double check...

Marco, I wonder if Tiree recorded even higher than 83kn (96mph) after the power went near 6pm?
