Still only moderately windy - gusts to 20.6 mph recently, but it seems to be easing.

 

1.8mm of rain so far, in the half hour after midnight.

 

Temperature steady at 16.6C.

 

Pressure STILL falling - down to 978.3 mb now.

Been falling ever since 5.30 pm yesterday.....

 

The worst must be over by now - time for bed.

Blowing very nicely outside now! This might be the sting jet if there is one, because it looks like the back of the system has curled round, therefore the winds will have too!Should have said, the wind has just woken me up! Edited by dec10snow

Can't believe how quiet it still is here. I think the worst must have missed us.

 

Anyone know what pressure the center of the low is at? I'd guess it's at around 976, but I'm not sure.

 

Pressure currently at 976.3mb, and falling fairly quickly. Max gust so far is 35mph

What the flipping **** is happening?!? Stayed up until a few hours ago and it was gusting nicely- really windy. Just woken now by noise of wind through gap in window that was so loud my cats ran under fled and I nearly jumped from my skin. Suddenly winds got so so so strong that in a few seconds my garden is wrecked! Ok, so I was to young to remember 87 storm, and I didn't live in SW during Burns day storm, but I have never seen anything like it. Shed roof coming off, massive heavy gas bbq lying in bits having been flung accross garden, and my wind anemometer just gone! Dashed out to grab bits of bbq and stop them flying about and I am still shaking. Winds still really blowing but not like they just did for a couple of mins. Wind seems.roughly north now too. Wow.

Was that a surge or something??

The rain is more noticeable than the wind here.

Torrential & squally. Absolutely lashing it down.

I'm probably wrong, but if it was how you've described, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of tornado touching down close to you!I haven't seen any of the latest warning for tornados, not sure if there are or not, but I would say going on limited info, certainally a viable answer!!

Morning AWD, would you say that a sting jet is a possibility, seems to have just passed me, as the winds really kicked up!

Pressure still falling rapidly here suggesting the low is still fairly close. The low doesn't seem to have moved as quickly as suggested and is still rapidly intensifying, if it keeps on this way it doesn't sound good for the South East. Pressure here now down to 975.4mb. I would guess that the current central pressure of the low is somewhere in the region of 974-975mb.

Just had about 5-10 minutes of very heavy rain wind picked up and there was a massive bang somewhere outside but I couldn't see what it was.

There was a massive pressure change too from 979 just after the crazy winds passed, up to 986 now! All in about 20 mins. (It was/is probably lower than that- my barometer has been reading a bit high)

Probably my bbq. Gutted! Brand new and lying in bits.

Maybe it was just the squall that came through? Looking at this: http://www.xcweather.co.ukIf you look at yeovilton now, it's says up to 68mph, and that's around where that rain band is, and I must say, it was very gusty just then!

Thanks for that link, that data is from just after the winds struck, but it says the winds were coming from the west- my bbq (r.i.p) got blown towards the west. Also my barometer's been reading higher than local readings, but at that point read much lower than the link suggests. I can only describe the wind strength here as anemometer destroying so can't compare that. I think that station is about 7 miles from me. What could make its readings so different?

 

Pressure is still rising- up to 987 by my readings. Up 8 in less than an hour and winds continue to gust but nothing spectacular.

I have no idea unfortunately, but after that squall came through, I went onto there, and then there was the rather large arrow at yeovilton, and it would concur with the squall line, so just thought I would show you :)

So far at work there have been 5 trees come down on the line between Bath & Salisbury.

Apart from that, I'm getting wet but that's it! :)
