Going dark here, another downpour incoming. I think my rain gauge has gone faulty as it is only showing 6.0 mm for today ?

Another rain pulse heading in from the sw but it's quite fast moving.
Water was cascading over the dam at the Lake Vyrnwy Reservoir in Mid Wales today sparking fears today’s rain will cause more flooding as it feeds into the River Vyrnwy, joining the River Severn near Melverley
-
Looking at the radar and forecast it looks as though Wales will get a pasting?. I think people along the Severn will have a worrying few days as all this water runs through.

Not much rain here so far but wind picking up, into the 20's mph, 5.2 c, 983.5 mb

It's been a good dry day here in Shrewsbury , although the Severn is looking worrying..I'm off to criccieth tomorrow, sea view room to watch it safely and warmly...do you think I will get a good show from the seas and winds?
I watched a piece on Midlands today yesterday about the Vyrnwy dam being full. Any extra rain will now come straight over the dam and into the river, it runs into the Severn so this will only add to river levels.

2252:Brittany Ferries says it has cancelled two crossings tonight - Plymouth to Roscoff and Portsmouth to Caen. A spokesman said an earlier Portsmouth to Bilbao crossing had tried to enter Brest but the waters were too rough. It is now anchored, "riding out the storm in Finistere". In case you missed it, hear this account of those passengers' ordeal.

The Met Office has upgraded its warnings for high winds across large areas of northern and western Scotland during Christmas Eve.
Amber "be prepared" weather warnings now cover the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the north west Highlands, Argyll and Bute, Orkney and Shetland.
The warnings are now due to come into force at 06:00.
The rest of the country is covered by less serious yellow 'be aware' warnings.
The public has been told to prepare for "significant" travel disruption and the Met Office said power cuts were also possible.
Forecasters said widespread gales were likely across the country, with gusts of 65mph to 75mph in many areas.
'Power supplies'
But storm-force gusts of 80 mph to 90 mph are also possible, particularly towards the north west of the country later in the day, where there will also be frequent wintry showers.
The Met Office amber warning for the period 06:00 to 23:59 on 24 December said: "A deep depression tracking north, to the west of Scotland, will bring a period of storm-force winds with gusts 80mph to 90mph later on Tuesday, to affect western Scotland and then into the Northern Isles.
"The public should be prepared for disruption, particularly to travel, as well as interruption to power supplies."
