Window cleaner got a soaking! Pretty heavy for a few minutes.

As I thought.. wind not even as strong as Saturday & Sunday. No need for a warning at all..

Wind warning is still at odds with the forecast.

Not sure I see a need for a warning for wind here on Tuesday? The predicted wind speeds are lower than what we've had over the past two days.

The majority of storms that erupt in France are surface based. If they move north, they won't survive the channel unless they become rooted in to the boundary layer. Elevated storms do cross the channel and survive, but often with a northeast trajectory, and lightning is less likely on the western flank of an MCS, for example, and we end up with a Kent clipper. If we have plume set up, and some kind of forcing element from the west or southwest, by way of a cold front, then storms will erupt in the channel itself and trundle north. It's more a question of; why don't we see these kind of synoptics anymore? Rather than asking; why don't storms survive as they cross the channel?

5.5 hours of sunshine so far. The most since March 30th.

jtay I was going to head out for ride on the mtb, but the wind is a bit too much! Just been adding some nifty little apps to my Garmin computer, mainly weather ones.

Strongest winds of the day!

That's awful bad luck, I really feel for you.

CryoraptorA303 No, it wasn't. I don't know what planet you're living on, but it isn't this one. Did you even venture in to the post mortem thread? It discusses what 'went wrong'.

So wrong.

Clouded over again. A nice 35 minutes of sunshine.

Temp shot up to 17.3°C at 2:44 this morning. Sun has come out now. Temp 16.4°C.

Temp shot up to 17.3°C at 2:41am. Warmer than it is now.

I must've dreamt about the oodles of charts posted at the beginning of Winter then? And the Winter 23/24 post mortem thread..

I've started uploading daily time-lapse videos to YouTube

Pinks & reds dissolving

Absolutely piddling down!

Didn't think a warning needed to be for down here when I saw them issue it.

Doesn't look like much here despite being in a warning.

Sun's out!

My detector has picked up a strike from those cells due south of me. Hopefully the trend continues!

New bike parts day! Feeling lovely in the sunshine. 14.3°C.
