Thames, Humber, German Bight;
Fog remaining overnight
Fisher, Dogger, Tyne and Forth;
Strong winds abating from the north
Stormy soon in Cromarty and Viking
Continued, rapid lightning striking
Further west to north Fair Isle;
Visibility steady at over one mile
More north west in the Faeroes
Pressure falling; a strong gale blows
Contrast this south west in Bailey
Pressure is increasing daily
For those south east in Hebrides
Expect to sail on heavy seas
In Malin and nearby Rockall
Westerly blizzards are to fall
Further south into Shannon
Blasting winds like cannon
Calmer waters in Fastnet
Should provide a safer bet
Expected shortly across Lundy
A high of 1050; Sunday
Storm force 10, now in Sole
Building 11, on the whole
Further south across Fitzroy
Sunny spells to enjoy
But further east, in Biscay
Rougher seas and blowing spray
Plymouth, Portland, Wight and Dover
Temperatures rising, hurricane over
This concludes today’s forecast
Dear Auntie Beeb, may it long last
