The causeway flooded again last night, you could hear the roar of water running off of the road in to the fiel .. A tad eerie in the dark. It flooded again this morning, so much flood water running down from the upper From.

Currently 8C and it has just started raining again, quite possible we may see some thundershowers tonight and tomorrow, the weatherpro app has a warning out for it, they've been bang on every time!

It's not raining anywhere near as hard as the Radar might suggest.

According to radar that's it for rain, thought it would have been a bit more intense, although thankfully not. Any idea when the next lot due?

Edit. Ok, just seen the nose of the next lot, colourful!

Well the front left here a while ago but the southwest slopes of Dartmoor down to the coast are doing its geographical location rain trick again as it has not stopped all day. Wish it would I don't want to the pub in the wet!!

[legritter]

YES nose of the next lot approaching cornwall ,very bright echo ,but as usual track wont be that clear for a few  hrs yet .but certainly looks like an interesting night ,and again just after first light tomorrow ,will be interesting to see what wind strenghs will be between 6am and mid day tomorrow ,could prove spectacular if winds coinside with high tide ,Stay safe folk and keep your distance ,dont forget one litre of water weighs about a Kilo so imagine one big wave ,i usually deal in pounds so hope im right .cheers all .

Where is your anemometer - in the garage ?Considerably stronger than that - Yeovilton is curently averaging 21mph gusting to twice that which is 35kph gusting 65kph

[Skullzrulerz]

Lighting near isles of scilly.

[karlos1983]

Can anyone near me give me a precip report please? I've had an argument with my collector, and I'm back to zero! Grhhh

[Evening thunder]

Temp rose from 0.3c to 7.3c in 1 hour here this morning when the wind kicked in, and over 5c in 30 minutes. It tends to do that sometimes in the valley here.

 

On the radar it looks as if the rain cleared here a while ago, however we have a persistent soaking fine rain and drizzle being blown sideways on the wind, that's not really showing on the radar. Rain rates mainly 1.5-3 mm/hr and water running down the road as like from a more 'normal' moderate rain.

 

Total for the day so far is 5.8mm, but we've had more since the radar says it stopped than before. The stuff showing out west looks a bit interesting.

 

Yesterday we had 12.0mm from the rain and a later shower, though most of it went slightly east of here again.

[tinybill]

looking on the radar  your got very  very heavy rain  very close to Cornwall

[Jet Streak]

Bits and pieces of rain now, 3.3mm today.

[mickeyflyn]

Looking at the radar, you guys down in the devon, cornwall are going to have an interesting few hours with what's incoming.

it's been quiet here on the coast of se wales today and only 6.3 mm of rain so far with light wind.

[BARRY]

more bloody rain on already saturated fields is what we don't need at the moment

[ARTDEMOLE]

Where is your anemometer - in the garage ?Considerably stronger than that - Yeovilton is curently averaging 21mph gusting to twice that which is 35kph gusting 65kph

 

Some Others on Wunderground  in the S.West are doing even less.DUE to location..... 

[Beast of Plympton]

Really hammering down here now, road has turned into a river!

[karlos1983]

So I make it 7.3mm today, although do with cross checking with Dorsetbred if your around?

Let's see how much comes from that showing on the radar moving E/NE and fast

Well my anemometer is up about 33ft on our house roof and the highest gust here so far is only 26mph which would be 42km/h.

 

Most places will have considerably less winds then the official stations as they are usually in massive wide open fields and at least 30ft above ground level.

[Karl83]

Just watching United v Swansea and saw a flash of lightning at the corner of my eye!! Long rumble of thunder too.

[Valhalla]

Just had a big flash and rumble of thunder and now its hammering down in Bristol.
