Oh boy have we had some fun here tonight that would generally put any windy event elsewhere to shame inland! aka the Midlands! :p

 

Crazy winds especially around 6pm where it was sustained winds 30-50mph for a time and gusts were well over 70mph. Weve had power cuts, lots of fallen trees, flooding and thunder and lightning and more thunder and lightning possible tonight before the winds get very strong again after midnight. Severe gales expected around 6am and only a little less severe than tonight.

The wind has started picking up about 20 minutes ago, but as triple_x1 said "in bursts". They're quite hefty gusts too... whistling through the cracks (oh matron!).

Dare I say it's been a reasonably quiet night here. Having said that, we are incredibly protected from the SE wind by the Malvern Hills, nestled as we are on the West flank. However just now it's started blowing more and raining, as the wind shifts more to the SW I expect we'll see greater gusts on this side. Sounds like it's been dreadful further to the SW. Stay safe, everyone.

Yep, much ado about nothing here again - even the wheely bin is still where I left it!

Really? It is very windy here this morning! Just watched my neighbour's fence take off and the wheelie bins are all over the place!

Not too bad last night but really foul this morning, bins blowing around and yet more torrential rain.

Now on 32 consecutive days with rain, could we beat the autumn's 37?

A very good chance, judging by the forecast for the next few days.

 

The wind has noticeably intensified here over the past hour or so.

Wind's really picked up here to a dull roar. Been having bursts of driving rain. Still appears to be a SEly direction.

And while that spell in autumn (a record I thought would last for years BTW) had quite a few days with just drizzle, this time it's been 32 with real rain.

As a matter of interest, what was the record prior to last autumn?

The wind has really got up here in Nottingham over the last hour, the flag and pole on top of Nottingham Castle is really straining at times , luckily the pole appears to have a lot of flex in it.  Not much rain so far...

Getting a fair load of powerful pro-longed gusts here... I've gave up with picking the wheelie-bin back up again.

That I remember, 24 in April 2012. Some data I've seen shows 27 at Shawbury in Nov 2000, but I wasn't living here then and sometimes they miss showers we get in Shrewsbury and vice versa.

You do realise there has to be at least 0.2mm in the 0900 -0900 period to count as a rain day though?

Trace or 0.1mm does not count.

Highest gust so far is 69 mph at 1149. It's been raining on and off for most of the morning but no great amount here.

Yes- I wonder why 0.2 though? Perhaps because anything less, even one raindrop, was being recorded as 0.1 (or 0.01") in the past?

Next week will probably end up business as usual in the end, the -5 850hPa temps change to -1/-2 and the showery setup's change into more monster lows.

Case in point, the ECM has now jumped on this trend already :lol: but what looks like a wintry chart right now ends up like today come +00hrs.
