Fun Fact Friday, 3rd October 2025

Fun Fact Friday this week – all about UK storms and weather.

1. Since 2015, the UK Met Office and Met Éireann name storms to make them easier to follow. The one hitting Scotland later this evening is ‘Amy’

2. The Great Storm of 1703 was so wild, it sank entire fleets AND toppled the Eddystone lighthouse. Incredible.

3. Scotland holds the record for the most powerful gust – a whopping 173 mph atop the Cairngorm Summit in 1986! See, Scotland wins at some things…just not football

4. Scotland often sees the wildest winds, thanks to the Atlantic jet stream. It acts as a sort of storm conveyor belt, driving storms straight here from North America

5. Victorian London’s name was ‘Foggy London Town’, however most of the time this was actually smog driven to the city by the wind – yuk.

Do you need help to see through the financial fog shrouding your business?

Would you rather climb the Cairngorms, than tackle your books?

You’re in luck!
