24.6?!? you've done well there!
-
Haha I’ve just done the same! if I’d have fallen asleep for an hour or two I would have thought the sun had been beating down all day on awaking sparkling blue skies here

Well after 15 minutes of rain and 2 claps of thunder we have blue skies as far as the eyes can see, no wind and hot sunshine. Certainly not what I was expecting. If anything it’s even more uncomfortable with same temps and higher humidity

Well here in the S Wales valleys nothing out of the very ordinary today Windy? Yes but nothing notable here Amazing what difference a few hills and 20 miles makes I guess. Conversely with snow it can be a foot deep here and green in Cardiff Fascinating stuff none the less Here a yellow warning would have sufficed, certainly not an orange one let alone the red 10 miles down the valley -

Well here in S Wales the wind turbines are still turning at 1300’ asl I would have thought they would be turned away from the wind today Guessing the strong winds aren't there yet then lol Nothing of note here nearly an hour into the red warning (we are right on the edge of it here in RCT) -

Remember too, a 70mph gust in a city can become 90mph when funnelled by buildings etc Cardiff could see 80-90mph so add in the funnelling effect and you’re going to see many trees felled and roofs blown off Cardiff will be a v dangerous place tomorrow as will Bristol -

All schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf are now closed due to red warning Trains also being suspended and my guess is all public transport will be suspended and Cardiff airport will be closed for a period My guess is that BOTH Severn crossings will be closed too -

Not sure on the data they use tho Id always go through the UKMet BBC are not my go to

As I mentioned yesterday evening, don’t be surprised if you see an Amber warning for those in Kent and E Sussex this afternoon and this evening As expected deep convection now beginning to fire up in a distinct streamer Those in the firing line could add another 10-15cms before the end of the night. Expect the streamer to migrate eastwards over the next 6-12 hours before finally leaving the Kent coast by tomorrow midday James
