Perhaps rather surprisingly, but testament to how strange this Autumn/early Winter has been, is that today is definitely the wettest 24 hour period since 5th-6th October and with further showers to come is likely to go back further than that.

As of 21.00 I had 18mm in my gauge, 5th-6th October had 19mm.

Just a smidge of a chance that the only single figure max of the month may, ironically, happen tomorrow!

For the first time in ages, the humidity has plummeted! Currently 54% with a temp of 10.6 °C, making the dew point 1.7 °C
It's lovely and clear at the moment, I'd forgotten how nice it was to have that clear air.

Not going to last long though!

Just thought I'd mention that the winds have started gusting back to 45mph > out of nowhere. 55mph at Sandbanks.

Quite grim early doors this morning which has now turned into a rather pleasant morning.

another very heavy spell of rain just started, this time with hail mixed in and a single clap of thunder. The local rivers are now just overtopping their banks so the aquifers must be well topped up.

You can see it come through on my camera..

2.5mm fell from that in 5 mins or so.  Bit of excitement, others had it worse though. :)

Here comes the temperature plunge!

That shows another strange aspect of this year's weather for any given location.

No lightning/thunder here but a pretty impressive squall line, the temperature is dropping now at 7.6c but to my amusement it did sneak into double figures around midday (10.1c max) which completes every day this month.

Likewise here for the temperature, Andy!  Managed 10.6°C at some point before the squall line, currently at 8.2°C but feeling colder than that.
