The Outer Hebrides have historically experienced some of the most extreme recordings of atmospheric pressure in the UK. At the most North-Westerly location in the UK, the islands are closest to the threshold between the Polar Cell and Ferrel Cell, with a boundary that fluctuates between 50 and 60o. Moreover they are subject to the more frequent, Westerly fronts of strong Jet Stream Winds.
Zooming into the islands, the varied topography brings about stronger ground level winds, and the Isle of South Uist sees a rich landscape, popular hiking route and is dotted with communications systems and environmental monitoring equipment.
