Saturday 12 July

Pouring with rain this afternoon, rainfall radar is suffering from measles - bright colours indicating heavy rain. Should ease tonight. Calmac is telling us that the MV Isle of Lewis was nearly 3 hours late leaving Stornoway for Ullapool due to a technical issue. As a consequence, she will not leave Ullapool until about 9.15pm tonight. Her expected time of return to Stornoway will be about midnight.
