Possible severe Atlantic storm Wednesday 18th December 2013 onwards

[Evening thunder]

Well the squall line dissolved for me and turned into a lighter gap in the rain band.. lol. Still quite well defined north of me though.

 

We did have a 48mph gust earlier which is the 2nd highest I've recorded on my station in this valley. Was quite stormy sounding earlier with heavy rain lashing the windows and noisy gusts. Wind has now shifted to the west now so the frontal boundary at the surface has gone through.

Some pretty heavy rain here but nothing particularly unusual going on.

[Jo Farrow]

That's the first of the rain just arriving for me in E.Lothian, whoooooo and winds strengthening, blimey

If you haev a look on the radar you can see the squall line echoes, practically along the welsh border, really defined red lines N/S

Have to agree with the above, thought it was going to be a bit worse than this, ie heavy rain and stronger winds, maybe it's not at it's peak yet, does anyone no what time that maybe in Berkshire/Hampshire areas??

Yeah it's definately there, sorry I might not have been very clear that I just meant for my locality. Pretty well defined for most north of me as you say.

[Mokidugway]

Some kinks on the lewp tornado or two perhaps! !...

[Cookie]

very heavy rain here and winds gusting 6o mph

[Cloud 10]

Squall line just passed through Hereford.

 

[Liam J]

Gusting in excess of 70mph here, electric going on and off, really fierce! We weren't covered by a warning for wind.

Blimey Plymouth recorded a 85mph gust at some point according to xcweather! No particularly defined squall crossed them on radar either though there was one just before them which weakened on approach.

[carl1980]

Squall line just passed over,looked like a bit of hail mixed in with a gusty wind

[ancientsolar]

The Squall line delivered a torrential downpour with a covering of hail ~ SE Wales ~ about 30-45mins ago

[The PIT]

Sheffield shield weakening allowing heavier rain through.

[Paul]

Latest top gusts have 86mph in Plymouth recently - 84mph at Pembrey Sands too..

[knightrider]

Rain starting to come down here now and just had a mighty gust probably approaching 50mph

[alijoy60]

I think the squall line hit us 5 - 10 mins ago - was scary for a few minutes. Been very windy all evening, but the noise it made for a few minutes was frightening. Quite exposed here on the coast.

[knightrider]

New highest mean wind of 55mph reported at Capel Curig in north Wales with gusts over 80mph.

[Eskimo]

80mph mean winds just south of the central core of this system. 

[The PIT]

Well we've got some heavy rain at last.

[Cookie]

We will get impact in the early hours here.

[alijoy60]

Lights keep flickering here too. Just back to the gusts we've had all evening.

[knightrider]

80mph mean winds just south of the central core of this system. 

Jeez are we in Florida?  lmao

[Costa Del Fal]

Lights just flickered here a bit. Quite rare that happens here!
