We're having a windstorm now, started yesterday and expected to last through the weekend.

Unusual: The storm features clear skies along with a shitload of wind blowing towards the sea, rather than wind from the sea and clouds.

Cause: Extreme high pressure over Russia blocking North-atlantic low pressures from moving eastwards. The high is causing the temperature drop and the clear skies, and the pressure gradient is causing the wind.

Thankfully there is a very large island between us and the actual coast.
