Winter 2022/23 - Moans, Ramps & Chat
wimblettben replied to cyclonic happiness's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Just taken these appearing to our North and Northwest about fifteen to thirty minutes ago! Not sure if it means we will get anything of note from it though other than sleet or freezing rain, and thats if it even makes it here. Wouldn't be surprised if it has produced some thunder given the fact that there is clearly an anvil there on one of the clouds. Oh and it got down to -7.9℃ here in the garden last night resulting in a widespread frost by morning which looked really good in the clear sunshine skies. -

It reached -6.3℃ in the garden here overnight Tuesday 6th into Wednesday 7th which produced quite a display of frost by the morning. Wasn't as cold here last night and today though but looks like it was more southern parts of the UK that got the colder temperatures last night. -

Had a bit more closer thunder here around when that very brief but intense squall came through. One of the roads just below us in the village has a small area of flooding at the moment. Highest rainfall rate my weather station picked up was around 9mm/hr but I don't think its very accurate if the rain is too short lived. -

Certain I can hear the odd distant rumble here at the moment listening out the kitchen window. -
So we have fun wind and surprise thunder around here in Wales already then! Doing pretty well then so far considering there is suppose to be the higher thunder risk tonight once the cold fronts gone through bringing thundery showers. I have not had any thunder here yet though but we did last night for a bit. Mostly around us and in the distance. Am going to go and listen out for anything now.

Hope I didn't miss anything yesterday as it looks like there was actually thundery showers in Wales all day. I didn't think there was going to be anything and because I rely on my parents to tell me if they hear anything as they are alway's outside I fear they may have missed some nearby distant storms as they will only hear stuff thats nearby because they are in a shed. I only noticed some lightning this evening around the area for a few hours with one distant but powerful sounding rumble and then another half an hour or so later that was closer but I think less powerful as the thunder was softer sounding. Another thing that I thought was unusual today though was the strange nature of the wind as you would have hours of there being just Light or Gentle breezes but then when a shower came through you could have a few minutes of Strong or even Near gale to Gale force gusts. -

Just had some thunder here in the last hour. I didn't expect that. The power even wen't out for a few seconds and considering the thunderstorm was in the distance, that particular thunder after it happened had a loud boom sound which means it must have been quite a powerful cloud-ground strike. Especially since it made our power go out for a few seconds. -

Met office have issued a yellow thunderstorm warning now. It was a fun windy day yesterday so if we get thundery weather today then that will be two day's in a row with the two weather types i like the most. -
Had a gust of 41mph on the weather station at ground level in the garden today and I saw it hit 39mph as well. Thats the highest I have recorded yet on this station but I think it's because we had Southerly winds and because quite a few trees have been cut down that way over the last year or so so more of the wind can probably now get through. It wasn't any different to what we normally get though when i wen't up the top of the hill with my handheld anemometer with max gusts only into the 40's mph. The highest gust I got up there in the afternoon was 47mph.

Are there many houses at Portland? I ask as I haven't been before and I would have thought with it getting about 30mph higher winds then other nearby areas that there would be many instances of quite bad structural damage or power cuts through out the winter months when the usual Atlantic storms come in. -
