    50mph just recorded on my station, new record. I'm going to celebrate with a pint of tea.

    Weeeeeeee! Just recorded a 50mph gust here. New record on this station.

    The strangest thing about Doris down here, is not having any rain, despite the strong wind and pressure falling to 995hPa. It has been a decent day so far, good spells of sunshine, and the temp up to 11.4°C

    Not a single drop of rain here, sunny spells from the word go. Very odd! Recorded 48mph this morning, with 23mph wind speed. Temp: 10.4°C - Hum: 71% - Dew: 5.4°C - Bar: 998.24hPa - Wind: WSW ~ WNW @ 17mph.

    48mph gust and 23mph wind speed recorded at my station this morning. I'm quite impressed with that, it ties in with the MetO's forecast perfectly.

    I'm quite pleased with the readings i'm already getting in my secluded area. 38mph gusts, 19mph wind speed.

    10 metres.

    A couple of GIF's of the AROME & ARPEGE, respectively..

    A few 50's and 51's showing up on their forecast for my location now. I'm aching to break my station record!

    Beautiful image!

    It is usually a precursor to rapid cyclogenesis - the sudden intensification that will occur in Doris.

    I presume you're not on about the motorway?

    The wind dropped off earlier, for a few hours. It has started to increase again, now. My new pole is doing a great job, I wanted to check it, so I shone a torch up during some higher gusts, there's not a single wobble or oscillation on it, the old aerial pole would have been vibrating like a good'un!

    I agree with everything reef and 4wd have said. The WMR200 was a great station, and I was tempted with a 300, but their customer service and support are terrible. On that basis, I would wait until you can afford a VP2. I'm currently on my third anemometer in 10 months, luckily it hasn't cost me anything, but it does make me question Davis' reliability.> I've just installed the new rain bucket, hopefully it'll get some kind of test tomorrow!

    The ARPEGE does have a tendency to go one step beyond when modelling wind gusts. It did the same with an area of low pressure that affected Southern areas and the Southeast a little while back. It's certainly going to be nasty, though.

    Well, the forecast last night pointed to a grotty day for here, and that hasn't been the case. There has been some bright spells here and there, windy though. Temp: 11.6°C - Hum: 90% - Dew: 10°C - Bar: 1011.55hPa - Wind: W ~ WSW @ 14mph, gusting to 29mph.

    5.1°C Thank you please!

    Another thing to watch for, during development of a sting jet, is surface obs on the South side of the cloud head. If temperatures decrease rapidly, then cold air is descending, and the strongest gusts are likely in the same area.
  19. Mapantz
    Netwx-SR take on the gust speeds, on the current run.

    Yep. I zoomed in from about 15 metres away when I took that pic, so the yew bush looks closer to it than it really is. I don't get any issues with objects affecting rain readings, only the wind from the SW if it is combined with rain. The wind funnels up next doors driveway and across the garden. That's why I bought that new rain gauge bucket, its supposed to alleviate rain errors in strong winds.
  21. Mapantz
    I'm certainly not surprised the MetO have issued an amber warning..
  22. Mapantz
    Cloudy today, still mild though. Temp: 12.4°C - Hum: 87% - Dew: 10.3°C - Bar: 1019.54hPa - Wind: W @ 9mph. The new rain gauge bucket arrived. Nice and simple to install, and the debris screen locks in.

    You've been unlucky down there, knocker. I equalled my February high - 15.9°C Incidentally, that's higher than I recorded in March 2015, and 2016 as well.
  24. Mapantz
    I'll be quite happy to have that, exactly how that chart shows it. I've just put up a better pole on my chimney, for the anemometer. I'm in need of some strong winds, particularly from that direction, because my anemometer had reading issues from around WNW.

    I've spotted 6 frogs in my pond today, spawn absolutely everywhere! The most spawn I've ever seen in my pond to be fair. I'll have to move it to the empty pond though, as it'll get eaten by my Koi.
