  1. Well I got the transmitter down. I could see a black cloud about 5 miles away and moving this way whilst I was still undoing nuts. I then got bombarded with hail and huge drops of rain. I've got to go back up to finish some cabling. It's amazing how much windier it is at 30 feet and no obstructions.
  2. The yellow updated wind warning has seen a reduction of the impact level.
  3. That was my point. The strongest winds were forecast for about an hour tonight. The amber warning for here coincided with lower wind speeds, so it was only a matter of time until that was lifted.
  4. There goes the amber warning for here. Not surprised as there's nothing significant for here tonight.
  5. My roof ladder has arrived. I've got to get the anemometer transmitter down from the chimney to fix it. Hopefully I can find a gap in the showers.
  6. Well I wouldn't pay any attention to app forecasts today.. it's supposed to be gusting in the high 30's here right now, but there's barely a breeze.
  7. Well, the UKV is certainly at loggerheads with the Met Office's thinking.. UKV gives 2 hours of 50mph gusts for here between 11pm today and 1am tomorrow. The amber warning starts at 6am and the UKV shows, high 30's to low 40's. Such disparities!
  8. A possible drop of 35mb in 12 hours for here. My record for a 24 hour change in pressure is 35.6mb
  9. I note on the UKV that the wind direction during the strongest winds for here has moved from SSW/S to SSE. Not often that occurs, if it stays like that.
  10. Just had a text message to say the roof ladder will be here tomorrow. I just hope the new super capacitor arrives as well. I dearly want to get my anemometer working before the storm arrives.
  11. Rain has finally set in. I was getting worried today, as there hadn't been any rain since the early hours of the morning.
  12. I remember walking back to my mates house on the Valentines day storm in 2014.. he lives in the road adjacent to mine. That whole road had no power, so we went back to mine to get some beers, and everything was fine.
  13. I cannot remember the last time my power was knocked out by a weather event.. I'd have to go right back to the 90's
  14. Roof ladder still hasn't arrived.. It was supposed to here yesterday, and paid extra for it to be delivered before 12pm.
  15. That was Dudley. The Needles recorded 122mph during Eunice.
  16. Pressure is hovering around 1001 here at the moment. Amazing to think it'll drop over 45mb in two days. I'm plumping for a min of 954 here. That'll beat my record by 12mb.
  17. Flash of lightning and a rumble of thunder looking towards Poole harbour.
  18. The barbs indicate knots & direction, the colour scale is Km/h.
  19. Something I am keen on; The GFS gives a 22mb drop here in just 6 hours. Looking very likely my record will go.
  20. Some serious moon-age on my webcam this evening!
