South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/06/2020 Onward

[matt111]

So supposedly I was just a few miles aouth of a supercell. Couldn’t see anything here as my view to the north isn’t great and there was a lot of cloud around d here at the time. Another moderate shower passing through now but not looking likely to be much more after that. 

[Wilxy]

Warmest its been all day currently at 16.0°C after some very heavy showers passed through the area, also feels quite muggy now.

[Andy Bown]

Lol I watched clouds and through low cloud a CB develop as they passed Warminster while stood outside in warm sunshine. From 16.40 with practically nothing to a pink core at 17.10 near Mere.

[CheesepuffScott]

A few moderate / heavy showers after that thundery interval earlier; it’s sunny now.

Reached 18.9°C, it is currently 15.9°C.. humidity high throughout today as well, only getting down to 73% earlier..

[matt111]

A few heavy showers this afternoon but no thunder and it felt much warmer than yesterday. Reached 20.6°C, currently 15.0°C

[Lyn-M]

4.5mm from this afternoon's showers, no thunder heard.  Very much on the edge of all the showers.

[Bobafet]

Very muggy this evening, didn’t get much rain here today.  May get some in the morning but not 100% convinced.

[CheesepuffScott]

12.6°C with an increasing breeze from the NE

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, an overcast and breezy morning to start the day, overnight low...11.9°C at: 01:59, currently 16.9°C RH78% and pressure holding after a recent fall, now @1003.9mb. Showers today, hmm maybe..as we seemed to not be on the key track yesterday, the garden would appreciate a drop more yet...fingers crossed..

The loneliness of the long distance walker seems this mornings theme...

[CheesepuffScott]

The low was 11.3°C at: 02:18... currently cloudy but bright, 17.9°C

[Andy Bown]

Wasn’t expecting to be able to have a picnic in the garden today but that’s what we’re doing under hazy sunshine and it’s pleasant at 18.8c!

[Mapantz]

Overcast and 19.3°C here.

New Davis rain tipper is supposed to be here before 1pm. Not sure I can get it fitted before the rain arrives, though?!

[matt111]

Just started raining and if anything it’s heavier than anything from yesterday’s showers.  Already 1.4mm in about 5 minutes. 17.9°C

Is it fairly straight forward fitting as I was thinking about getting one as I have the older tipping mechanism?

I'd get a shimmy on Andy, if I were you. Nobody likes a soggy sanger.

I've just done it whilst it's spitting with rain!

Unplug the rain sensor cable from the ISS, push it back through the hole. Take the rain funnel off, you'll see two plastic clippy things on one side that hold the rain tipper down. Carefully pry a flathead screwdriver in and gently push back and use your other hand to push the clips back  a little and it'll pop off. Unthreaded the cable through the rain gauge base and it's out.

The new one just clips in the same place as the old one. It'll only go one way. Thread the new cable back through the hole in the base and push the grommet back in to place, then snake it through to the back of the ISS. Don't plug it in yet as you should put the funnel on first to avoid a clunk and a false rain tip. Plug the cable in, slide the cover down, and voila!

It literally took 3 minutes... however, I was rushing as I was getting soaked lol

Already got two tips, so it's working!

Sounds simple enough for me to attempt thank you

[Mapantz]

I couldn't have timed it better. It's absolutely piddling down.

[CheesepuffScott]

Rain is starting up. Got to 19.2°C earlier.

[Andy Bown]

Lol John all finished and been playing footy with my boy. He’s decided he needs a doze so he’s crashed out on the sofa and I am willing something to crack off!

Will this afternoon be the day to bring a decent rainfall to Warminster! Or will the developing downpours avoid here!?

19.9c and 72% humidity, feels almost oppressive in the sun.

[Mapantz]

4.2mm fell in that downpour. 53 mm/hr rain rate. It's been a while since I have seen heavy rain!

[Frosty hollows]

Temp up from 18.6 to 21.2 post short shower. Don't think it'll be enough though

You'll be fine. It's just moderate rain here at the mo, but the Arome has it pepping up as it moves North West.
