Speak for yourself. Need to blow me balls up.

On a slightly different not, just popped over to the mod thread and there  looks like we might be in for a little cold spell, starting to show signs on the GFS. LETS HOPE IT STAYS LONG ENOUGH 

[saint]

Squall line is here, and it's definitely raining out! 

[Meggy]

I wonder if the bridge will be shut soon. I might need to go out sooner rather than later if so, or I won't be getting anywhere fast! it causes absolute chaos around here!  

[Dami]

Got a bit darker, had some heavy ish rain, the winds didn't seem to pick up much and it looks quite calm out.

[Meggy]

Two wheelie bins out of three gone over like skittles in the last gust! 

[Uxbridge90]

Should hit me any minute now, still very calm out side.

[Katrine Basso]

It may be a very mild day but the weather is quite wild outside.  There has been fine drizzle (the worst sort of rain) with gusts of wind at 32.7 mph .  The winds are coming from a South Westerly direction and the temperature is a mild 12.6 °C .

[Uxbridge90]

According to the radar that line is going through now, looks like we've missed the worst of it as it's just a bit of a rain and light winds. 

[Bogman]

Squall has hit. Rained hard for 3 minutes. Now drizzling. 

[terryall]

Is that line breaking up?

More of a damp squib here in Potters Bar.

 

Wind has dropped as well.

[terryall]

 Cant be that bad as no reports of damage being posted and doesn't seem a lot of interest in here......

[WeatherMoose]

quite calm now and the rain has stopped.

Calm before the storm?

[Donna3397]

Squall sitting out just near Brighton. wind gusts 62mph now, the sun did start to come through for half an hour but all gone now. 

[Stroudley]

Calm before the storm I think - dry and quiet here at the moment, but the main rain band is not far off.

[Methuselah]

Squall-line is hitting now. Biblical rain!

Gah... Really should've fixed that fence panel that fell from the storm...

Currently getting an ever-enhancing panorama of the car park.

Well that was a bit of an anticlimax lol, there was about 10 minutes of heavy rain but the wind has died right down.

Agreed, it looked as if it was breaking up a bit on the radar and we seem to be sitting under heavy rain rather than a dramatic squall.

Same here!

[WeatherMoose]

according to radar the squall line has broken between the channel and the M25. was looking forward to it!

[Blazerblue]

The squall line just passed, blink and you missed it. Two minutes heavy rain and a long, not very powerful gust of wind. Now some more blah yuk dull rain to come. Roll on tomorrow when allegedly, it shall be sunny n dry

Was mental on top of Marlow hill when it came through, unfortunately I was making muck up so couldn't take any videos or photos but a fantastic gust front. 

Now very heavy rain the front seems to have slowed down over our region so a few hours of heavy to moderate rain to come, very wet here now 

[CK1981]

The wind was far stronger before the squall line. In fact, the wind dropped dramatically during the heavy rain. I’m so glad I got my long walk in before the heavens opened!
