    Sandy has just been downgraded to a Tropical Storm, but I doubt that will be for too long.
  2. Sainsbo
    No snow here, but temps got down to 0.2C here in Swindon

    I have a friend in Tyne and Wear and he said they had some heavy snow a little while ago. Might not be snowing here, but you can certainly feel the difference in temperature - Currently 5C and dropping with a daytime High of 8C recorded at 00:01 AM

    According to the snow forecast there is a 37% chance of snow early next Monday moning, but I really doubt that will happen this far south I think there is a real chance the October minimum temp record could be matched or broken here though. Record is currently -3.6, and BBC weather have Swindon down for -3 Saturday night.
  5. Sainsbo
    The record low October Minimum temp in Wiltshire according to the MetO is -3.6. I think we could come close to, or even break that towards the end of next week.

    First air frost of the season here this morning. -0.4C out there earlier.

    I hope the boy makes a full recovery. And to think, I was walking home in the same storm. Sometimes we forget mother nature can be cruel too sometimes.

    Nice storm in the past hour in Swindon. Lots of large cracks of thunder, a a few lightning strikes and Torrential rain for about 20 minutes. Must have dumped half an inch of rain or more, the roads were underwater in places.

    Any rivercams to look at?

    In some ways I would have liked it and in others not. I love extreme weather, so that's why I was excited for it. The obvious downside to it is property damage which is never a good thing. Also, before this system we had had less than 3mm of rain for September here, so some wet weather would have been welcomed. I agree, the forcasts have been changing constantly throughut yesterday and today, I think that the forecast was pretty accurate, but I didn't realise how confined the worst of the weather would be.

    Looks like they have increased the Amber warnign for the NW to cover a wider area. Can't say I wasn't expecting that, and if those 150mm totals are correct I wouldn't be surprised to see a Red warning in a couple of places.
  12. Sainsbo
    That does look like it will take a lot to get up to them totals, but the rain will be stalled in them areas for quite some time. That model is quite accurate on the rainfall here so far. Rain has intensified here in the last 10 minutes. Up to 30mm now.
  13. Sainsbo
    27.6mm now in total from this system in Swindon, not nearly as much as the 70mm expected overnight. In just a few hours it will have moved north and that will probaly be the end of it. Pressure slowly rising again.
  14. Sainsbo
    9.6mm since midnight, so missed all that rain we were expected overnight. In total though 25.8mm from the system and pressure is at 981mb!
  15. Sainsbo
    996 mb here and dropping at a rate of 1.3mb/h. No rain as of yet, but I think it will be here soon!
  16. Sainsbo
    I find this quite worrying. In the flooding of July 07, we had only 58mm of rain, and that caused havoc. What will this do :S 15mm so far today, with the worst to come.
  17. Sainsbo
    Hurricane Tina was around for more than 3 weeks!
  18. Sainsbo
    Looks like it may become Cat 1.. Rain started again here. Looks set to stay this time
  19. Sainsbo
    I'm surprised more of Wiltshire isn't under the amber warning yet, looks like we could see 2 or more inches tonight.
  20. Sainsbo
    Bah, It's needed! Before today, only 2.6mm of rain this month in Swindon
  21. Sainsbo
    10.4mm here and the rain has stopped for a time. 1002mb pressure, and still dropping.
  22. Sainsbo
    7mm here so far, but I expect we will get worse here tonight.
  23. Sainsbo
    The rain's finally arrived here. Not heavy yet by any means, but it's persistent. Might record the wettest day of the year so far here.
  24. Sainsbo
    Thanks John, appreciate the help!
  25. Sainsbo
    Ah, thankyou for clearing that up, Chionomaniac
