No most of the rain is over Wales and the NW as you will have noticed. You may get a bit more as the next front(s) move through but tonight and through tomorrow not looking that clever. It is pretty grim here at the moment gusting 45mph

Yup the rain is increasing as it moves eastwards AND the wind is certainly picking up as the pressure drops noticeably

[ARTDEMOLE]

Strong Breeze 25 mph. Sound more that what it is.

[Dorsetbred]

Calendar check, is it really almost June, doesn't look that way on the beach today?

[Andy Bown]

The absolute paradox between this Spring and last Spring seems to be reaching a peak today and tomorrow!

 

[knocker]

Actually saw a chink of blue sky just now. Gusting > 52mph

Me too, Me too!! Even the big round bright thing showed it's face for a minute!

[lettice]

We have had no rain today, but plenty of blue sky spells this afternoon and quick passing light grey spells.
SW wind has picked up in the last few hours to 14-18mph with a handful of 20-25mph gusts and one in last hour of 37mph

It's been a wetter afternoon than i originally thought it would be here, and the acer has blown half way across the garden for the 3rd time this October

Probably best to just bring the laptop indoors now, I'm surprised it's still working!

Very little rain today, and even some sunshine this afternoon. Windy, but nothing major. Temp reached 14.4°C.

[knocker]

Cloudy but dry, mainly Cu/Sc but still very windy, gusting in the 45 mph range

[SteveB]

What a splendidly lovely late May morning.

Feels more like any day in Autumn or Winter. 

[lettice]

No rain since midnight, 2.8mm total yesterday with some late showers in the evening.

Light grey cloudy start to the day.
Was 11.5c at midnight after a 14.7c max yesterday afternoon. Low of 11.3c at 5am, now 11.7c, 999.0 hPa
SW 16-18mph and regular gusts of 23-30mph, occasionally 33-35mph
 

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a tad breezy this morning! A peak of 61mph @Portland  and 46mph @Bournemouth Airport as their reported highs.

Air pressure is still falling as the low tracks across the UK, so my peak this morning of 31mph could still disappear

Local beach conditions this morning look....CHOPPY to say the least

Locally rain showers, interspersed with drizzle and the temperature 9.5°C 

[knocker]

A couple of spot winds from the ecm

[knocker]

Moderate rain now arrived

[Dorsetbred]

From the local rag

 

A BEACHFRONT car park has been closed as strong winds batter Dorset today.

Boscombe Undercliff Drive car park has been closed and BCP Council has warned the piers  may need to be shut later as gusts of up to 60mph are expected. 

[Mapantz]

Very windy but not getting anywhere near the original predicted wind speeds. This morning's forecast speeds have been knocked down. Definitely not as windy as May 3rd.

Currently sunny and 13.3°C.

[lettice]

Just had a good last hour of constant 20-25mph SW wind and gusts of 30-3mph with a handful of 37mph gusts.
The sun and plenty of blues sky has has been out too, stayed dry today, 13.6c
Pressure has steadied at 998.3hPa
 

[Rich_Clements]

Well the wind has died compared to earlier and the sun has peaked through the clouds

[Dorsetbred]

Pressure is now rising and the windspeed is beginning to drop back as the wind swings away from the W slowly..still looking GLOOMY down on the beach..

Temperature 9.9°C  and light rain 

AND I still have all my fence panels though some were well shaken but NOT stirred!

 

[lettice]

Wind has picked up here in last hour, quite a few 40mph gusts and plenty of 30-35mph ones.
SW wind is a constant at 20-23mph.
At least its still stayed dry
Thought the wind would be easing now. Nowhere near the 45-58mph that met office predicted over the last many hours for us.

Clouding over here and just had a little drizzly spell.
