Blimey, squall line just gone through Kingsbridge just after 2am.

Torrential rain and frequent lightning, one of which was very close. Absolute chaos for about 10min, now it's all gone quiet!

Wasn't expecting that to be honest

Likewise, just been woken up here by the squall which even set a car alarm nearby off! It was finished off with (as far as I’m aware) just a solitary flash of lightning and very loud roll of thunder; exciting! Oddly enough nothing showing on Blitzortung.

Raining here, as it looks out to the west, it's going to be a wet few hours..?

Yep. Dodging the showers earlier.

Got caught in the end.

Plenty more to come, looking at the radar.

That must have been some squall at 4ish. Bins everywhere this morning.

I slept through all that wind, rain, hail and whatever!   Very unusual for me.  However, it dumped 18mm to 09.00 and it's still tanking it down out there.  Local stream is up and over, fields like lakes, according to OH who has ventured out.  Goodness know what it will be like after Dennis comes through at the weekend, we'll probably be an island!

West Bay web cam making interesting viewing this morning!

Due to not sleeping well because of bruised ribs I was awake during the early hours when we had a few minutes of biblical rain, it absolutely pelted down and the winds were very gusty as well, if that was snow it would have left a decent covering within minutes due to how intense that precipitation was!

Just been accessing the damage in the garden from storm Ciara.. 5 fence panels on the right were destroyed, including posts and 6 on the left. On the left side, the neighbour put in an irrigation system a few years back, and it just floods the soil on his site and it rotted the posts out at the surface level. After the 5 panels blew out on the right, it meant the wind could go straight through and do it's work to the left side. I also spent a lot of time last year solvent welding all of the new pipework up to my filter. One of the panels that blew down has snapped one of the pipes to the filter. It's irreparable because of the solvent weld, so i'll have to redo everything. 

The damage done from the weekend is worse than cumulative storms of the 2013/14 Winter. 

Huge downpour this morning as a result of that LEWP. A rain rate of 188 mm/hr and lightning strikes detected too. Currently sunny spells here and 10.4°C.

That little lot woke me up at 4:20 am as I got a direct hit. Here's s radar snapshot (I am the black dot just left of Fareham) with today's extremes embedded.  You can roughly double the wind speeds as I measure at under 3 metres, and sheltered.

230 mm/hour and it sounded like it too. 14mm rain in the early hours with a further 3mm before noon.

Exeter had the thunder and lightning as well last night, I saw three flashes around 02:30 shortly after the squall line passed through, and quite a bit of thunder.

Hi all, not posted here for ages, I’m really a snow-or-thunderstorm guy, and both have been lacking! So not a fair weather person... 

Bit worried about rainfall this weekend - the storm hasn’t come yet but it’s been raining moderately on and off for the last 3 hours already. Can’t believe how saturated the ground is. I’m a landscape gardener and I’ve not known the ground to be this wet, for so long. For 3 or 4 years before this autumn/winter digging for work has been difficult in many places because ground with a high clay content has been rock hard a few inches down, as it’s been so very dry. Within a month from the end of September, the opposite has been true. Ground work is hard going because soil has been so damn heavy due to wet! I’ve already had a few customers asking for their lawn to be cut (the other part of my business) as it’s grown. I’ve had to say not yet, as our professional mowers are heavy, and will leave tracks in the grass which may not disappear. Going to be a difficult spring in that regard! Also when this pattern eventually breaks, if we get a really warm spring/early summer, expect hedges and trees to grow a lot this year... 

Hope everyone’s fences and trees survived last weekend, and good luck for this one!
