Yeah I got that squalline too that was the cold front moving through, got a few gusts over 50mph in that spell I'd say, all calm now and sun breaking out but temperature dropping.

Wednesday is within the warnings timeframe on meto now, wouldnt be surprised to see a yellow later today or tomorrow.

Obviously I dont wish for severe property damage or injuries but I would like to film trees having a bad day with my camcorder. woohoo

[Paul]

What have you got against trees?!  

 

Not sure I'd expect to see a warning from the met office today for next week's possible storm, a lot of uncertainty over it still. I could be wrong of course but would think Sunday/Monday would be around the time they may push something out should still look as nasty.

Trains running north out of St Pancras suspended because a 30ft mast has been damaged in the past half an hour by high winds in the Harpenden/St Albans area.

Ha ha, actually i like trees, they do look good in a storm though

Im just hoping for something photogenic / videographic, i missed out on pretty much all of the TS last year and im eager to get out with the cameras.  I just love filming weather events.

[Jax]

Still tad windy out, does not seem as bad as this morning though and temps are falling, down to 8.1oC now, mainly clear skies means it is nice, dry and bright out for now.

[Bogman]

Update:

Me shafts broken on my sex swing, bit limp. Needs a good rodding, and someone who's good with their hands.

Haven't done any DIY, but on me third beer.

[stun12]

Bogman, it's always important to take a step back or three and consider the nature of the DIY job at hand as projects addressed hastily can so often go wrong. Beers encourage one to think 'out of the box', before getting out of your tree. As far as persuading the missus of the wisdom of this, your mileage may vary...

Just had a look in the garden, and it seems that the weather last night/this morning had brought down one of the multiple telephone wires which hand over our garden!

[Daniel*]

Cold font slowly making its way, the SE is hanging to the mild airmass not for long...

expect a big drop we should all be under the cold air by 4PM

Morning

Afternoon

Impressive contrast

[mickeyb44]

Is that showing an 11 degree drop in the upper air ?

I still dont understand charts much.

You are correct.

[Daniel*]

Dew Point is plummeting 1C & Temp, 8.8C the much colder air is gaining the upper hand.

[Mal_UK]

What does this all mean guys?

[mickeyb44]

I think it means the air at 1.5 km above us is now getting a lot colder.

Dew point has always confused me, i think its the temperature at which moisture turns to liquid.

 

Both of these and other elements are important for the risk of snow, they have to be at the right levels before it can snow.

 

I may be completely wrong though
