Moderate breeze here at the moment.

Yeah, nothing substantial, but a precursor to tomorrows events. Wind has sort of picked up now that the rain has arrived. I just noticed that the 10cm soil temp here is 1.1°C and the pond temp is is 3.2°C. It'll be interesting to see how quickly they rise when the rain does it's job. -
There must be a delay in tonight's system, as it's supposed to be gusting to 40mph here. Just a gentle breeze at the moment.

The standout point for my area tomorrow night, is the longevity of the high gusts. Over the last couple of years, there's maybe a 1 hour window of peak gusts, with a difference of 10mph or more, on both sides of that window. Tomorrow's forecast gives 6 - 8 hours of almost the same gust speeds of 50 - 60mph. That's highly impressive for here!

A max of 8.3°C today. A bit of a nothing day of weather. Wind has picked up a little in the last half an hour though.
-
The same ARPEGE that predicted this? Reality:

The meek cold spell is over here. Rapid temp increase took place as the wind became south-westerly
-
And just like that, above freezing. That was a rapid increase! Air quality has improved instantly though.
-
Is that not just a trough?
-
Got to -2.2°C and bam! Someone turned the fan on and now the temp is rapidly rising.
-
UKV has strengthened wind speeds further for here. I've been under an amber warning for less before.

It's interesting watching my grass temp fluctuate.. it's a good indicator of when the air temp will go up or down, as there's a slight lag.
-
I had about 3cm here, and it stayed on the ground for 3 or 4 days. Looking at my data for the past 10 days, it's not even close to last January. 16th - 25th. A succession of harder frosts and lower average temperatures.
-
I haven't particularly been impressed by the cold for here. I don't mean in terms of snow, just temperatures. No crazy minima, and max temperatures have been between 4 and 8°C.
-
Was at -2.8°C but gone back up to -2.3°C Really struggling to drop due to the wind.
-
Going the other way now.. -1.9°C
-
Temp is stuck at -2.1°C here. It was dropping fast early, then it ground to a halt.
-
The UKV for here has been consistently showing higher wind gust values than all previous storms - beginning of January, December and November. The duration of those stronger winds is much longer too.

Temp is dropping faster than all other previous nights here. I hope it plummets!

I mentioned in my regional thread that I am surprised by the lack of a yellow warning for the rest of the south coast. The Met Office have me down for a good 6 - 8 hours of gusts up to 55mph. That's significant for my location as I am slightly sheltered. Some of the yellow warnings back in December didn't show wind gusts that high in the forecasts.

A low of -4.3°C Already up to 4.6°C. I'm am surprised by the lack of a yellow warning for Sunday night in to Monday along the south coast. It's showing up over 6 hours of 50mph+ gusts here. That's much higher than when warnings were issued for wind back in November and December.

I do like the stormy weather in Autumn and Winter.. the excessive rain over the last few months has been a nightmare though. Went for a ride on the mtb last night, the local floodplain is still under water after almost two weeks of no rain.

Some very low minima again on Thursday morning
