South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 08 Feb 2021 Onward

Has anyone got any wind speeds for south coast?? Sounds very gusty out there ?

[Mapantz]

Had every conceivable wind direction today:

Wind is gusty from the NW now, and with the temp around 10°C, it's feeling a lot colder.

Gusting to 35mph on my station.

Had 43.4mm of rain so far today (including last nights squally rain), some very bright echoes set up camp over my locale for some good time over the last few hours, and we are now getting some very lively winds and torrential rain on the back edge of the convective mass, looks like it will finally be clear in 30 mins or so. We have now had 60mm of rain in 2 days, I'd call that a nice soaking!

43.0mm of rain here yesterday, I record calendar days.  Spread over 2 events of course, morning then evening. Not a million miles short of my all time (8 year) record of 51.5mm on 12 July this year.

[knocker]

Cloudy, Cu/Sc, recent shower and breezy.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a couple of light showers after the rain last night, adding 2.4mm today after yesterdays' 34.8mm. The overnight low shows the cooler air having arriving after the low cleared and pulled in the northerly air, with the low of 6.8°C at: 05:26, currently 7.7°C and the  RH81%..

The sat image shows the coastal cloud and the remnants of the low pulling away to the east

Meanwhile the beachcam also shows the coastal cloud, with a calm sea this morning

My poor auntie in Ilminster… 20 of her neighbours houses are write offs after severe flooding with waist deep water, luckily stayed clear of her doorstep…

Much cooler today but also nice and sunny with blue skies. 12.9°C 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

It's cold outside! There is also some men outside! Fit men! In my garden! Doing some landscaping work!

[Dorsetbred]

Cold, you say COLD? It's lovely out there, in the warm sunshine, ok so the breeze is a little cooler than of late, but it's still T-shirt and shorts weather. The beachcam looks great for late October...temperature peaked at 12.8°C at: 14:12...

Sooo many answers I could give to this but i'll resist

[MP-R]

Lovely day in all. Not quite coat weather but a definite nip in the air this morning and evening, and when the sun went in at times.

[knocker]

A fair amount of low Sc this morning, likely the flattening out of Cu, and a bit of a breeze

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a cooler night than of late with the low of 0.2°C at: 06:14, now slowly crawling up the scale, currently 3.4°C with no breeze. The day started out clear, then a layer or St, now clear as the beachcam shows, with a couple of folks having just completed their early morning swim (Beka one for you and your bucket list?)

A fair amount of cloud out to the west, and the breaks over us look set to disappear shortly as seen on the sat image

[Frosty hollows]

Overnight low of 2.1c. Coldest night in many months!

[Dorsetbred]

Some patchy light rain around the area, the cloud breaking only intermittently. Temperature 10.2°C

[knocker]

A sheet of Sc here
