South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Andy Bown]

Mother Nature absolutely nailed it! My postcode marker is pretty much under the heaviest 8.20 radar colour! School run time for us is 8.15-8.35!! 
 

Sun’s out now !! 

[FlightlessWings]

Max rain rate here was 34.4mm/hr at 8.20. There was some hail in the mix at one point too. 

[jtay]

On the positive side, I got home before the little squall line came over. Otherwise, not pleasant, as my wet weather gear was still damp from yesterday.

[Mapantz]

Wind warning eh? It's almost still here.

[Frosty hollows]

It's completely still here. Mahoosive convective rain drops, but not a breath of wind.  Still, who knows what might happen if a squall line forms

[Dorsetbred]

 Mapantz  Wind warning eh? It's almost still here.

But they do include in their posting "A small chance of disruption from strong winds on Thursday.", and watching their video yesterday it was more akin to Hampshire eastwards.

[dr weather]

Very heavy rain burst here at around 7ish, just in time to catch our bin-men.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a tad bit wet again today with a very late minimum temperature of 6.8°C at: 10:30, currently 7.3°C, RH97% and light air movement (as noted by Mapantz) from the S - SSW.

On Golden (wet) sands, minimal wave action but still they try

 

[AWD]

That’s two days in a row now where it’s literally rained for the most part between dawn & dusk consistently!

And today it’s not even mild!!!

[mike5900]

A high of 10.5c at 07 56. Now at 5c and rain all morning. 

[Andy Bown]

Below 5c now and a very gusty WNW’ly picking up. Still pouring too! 

[Dorsetbred]

The wind has increased in strength and the temperature has dropped to 5.1°C at: 14:45

 

Portland Harbour Fort Head

Last Avg: 34.54 mph

Maximum: 48.79 mph

That possibly makes it for a yellow MetO warning.
