No way... In a dry slot again and the radar is playing up at Dean Hill.

Don't care.

Ay I need a rain gauge next

currently 7.7°C with persistent rain 

[MP-R]

Not very February-esque out there at all at the moment!

[Mapantz]

Just had an intense burst of rain with hail mixed in. Rain rate of 54.4 mm/hr. Wind speed 20mph.

[Zephyr]

Rain sounds biblical here and the wind has picked up with it also

[bellanite]

Rain shower just now was incredible! Just woke me up it was so heavy.

Wind has really picked up too.

[Mapantz]

Just registered a 44mph gust. Wind speed is 22mph.

[Frosty hollows]

Picking up here out of absolutely nothing! 36mph gust

[Mapantz]

Just hit 48mph.

[CheesepuffScott]

Wind just woke me up!

[matt111]

Sounds really windy out there now. Not raining at the moment but had some heavy rain earlier.

Shows how dry January was when I'm only 1.4mm from last months total rainfall already. 

[noggin]

2.20am and the wind has woken me up too! Shall be checking roof and fences as soon as it gets light.

Strange to think that this time a week ago not a flake had fallen but since then there was a major snowfall which has now all gone!

[lettice]

Between 7 and 11 pm yesterday we had some heavy rain and a real heavy burst around 8pm, was 8.8mm.
Wind from the SW really picked up here between 1am to 4am, 2--25mph and many gusts of 35-43mph.

Was 9.6c at midnight and a low of 7.5c at 4am.
Now, dry, blue skies, 7.9c, 1007.3 hPa, SW wind 10-18mph, many gusts of 20-33mph.

 

[CheesepuffScott]

Starting off mostly clear with a low of 4.5°C at 7am. Currently 4.8°C

[jethro]

It's a hideous morning here, very wet with hail too but at least the wind has dropped. Don't think a rain gauge would have been much use here overnight, more like a bucket needed.

Any update on the winds tomorrow?

[fromey]

just had  a scan through the model runs

[MP-R]

Nasty weather last night. Windy too. Very Decemberish. Sunny and calmer this morning.

Roll on next week.

[Frosty hollows]

Vicious little storm passed through in the night. Woke me twice.  That'll be the 49mph gusts then

[Super_Uwe]

Phew! Last night was very windy down in Salcombe, wish I had a proper weather station like some of you guys 

Really picked up from about 10.45, just before midnight I had to go and retrieve the standard #wheeliebins which were flying down the road. Always great to be woken up by a crashing and clattering sound...

But it was really gusty out there, much more so than it has been for a long time.

I see the Met Office has taken the yellow warning away for tomorrow for the SW. Still widely showing 55-60mph gusts around late morning/lunchtime tomorrow for here. Heavy rain expected as well. Localised flooding wouldn't be a huge surprise TBH.

[Super_Uwe]

Just checked the Mount Batten observations (that's the nearest one to here). 56mph gust recorded at midnight, I'd imagine it wasn't far off that here.
