Significant

Whenever you read the MWIS forecast (and Dear Reader you really ought to) look out for the word ‘significant’, especially when prefixing the words ‘windchill’ or ‘snowfall’.

The translation of ‘significant’ from MWIS English to lay-person English is ‘will defo need your biggest coat, overmitts and a second hat’.

As an example, at about dusk on Saturday until y’all are in bed, the wind swings round to a northerly and gusts from 25-40mph. I’ve added a little grid to help you with the maths.

I’m not an expert but i think your gymshark bum enhancer tights (for men) and your sliders might not cut it whilst you’re wandering circles round Higher Shelf Stones at 5pm still trying to find RB-29A.
