Watch surfers trying to catch a wave in Tenby during Storm Kathleen
- 2 months ago
As Storm Kathleen passes causing relatively little disruption, it appears Storm Lilian is just around the corner, with more wet and windy weather forecast for Pembrokeshire and West Wales this week.
Surfers seen in the video were out trying to catch that special wave on Saturday evening, with a high swell on Tenby's North Beach, as Storm Kathleen came in.
The Met Office has a warning in place from 1am to 3pm for Tuesday, April 9, with strong winds of up to 65mph predicted, that could bring hazardous coastal conditions to parts of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.
‘Storm Kathleen arrived on Saturday to match the record for most named storms in a season, marking a hyperactive season so far,’ - states website www.weatherandradar.co.uk
‘When Kathleen arrived in the UK and Ireland, it didn't just deliver strong gales across the countries but became just the second named storm ever beginning with the letter K.
‘Not since 2016 have we reached the letter K in a single storm season, Kathleen joins Storm Katie in the history books…for now.
‘During the 2022/23 storm season, we saw just two named storms, which both arrived during the final month of the season.
‘By comparison, this season, we are at 11 named storms with just under five months left until the season ends with the close of August.
‘When, or if, we do see another named storm in that time it will become Storm Lilian and officially mark the most active storm season on record for the UK and Ireland since the practice of naming storms began.’
