Still 5.7c here with a DP of 2 (ish) lol

Hammering it down here now, finally about to hit the 500mm mark! Currently at 499.0mm

First ceiling creak of the night here in Benfleet, Essex!

77mph now in Mace head

Temp is going up as this low moves through, now at 15.8c! highest so far today.

If you roll back the radar, over the NW of England, the precipitation has actually got heavier as it's hit the north sea :O

I have to have 50mph plus to do that, with a certain wind direction, almost has to blow down the road pulling the knocker away from the door as the pressure drops in the doorway, so a south westerly! Maybe it will happen tonight, although I hope not, it sends the dogs balmy edit: Actually the squall hasn't gone the way of the dodo like I assumed, the radar has clipped some detail off. I await the next update! It has definitely died down, but I'm not sure how much, oh and it will now miss me, skirted to the north

Well that was one short burst. It's gone! That lasted all of what, 30 minutes lol, Gusts are picking up here now! I may have to become tarzan and hang on to one side of the tree to counterbalance it

Edit, actually maybe not! This tree in my garden looks concerning lol No actual real wind here yet, and the squall is yet to arrive!

Looks like I'm going to miss that big long squall currently entering London, it should just skirt to the north of me!

Also another in the south west! Actually, edit. I think thats a falcon lol Looking again doesn't look like there's too much distruption, a flight has just taken off from Exeter Airport

Just at the wrong time too! Them forming squalls although fast moving could become very elongated for certain areas with the wind direction! if theres any big gusts mixed in, during or after the heavy downpours the trees won't be happy!

No, I'm my own person again now, at least on here! Our dobule act only lasted a day

We all know the place(s) which will receive the highest gusts, but when do we think we will see the first 80mph+ gust on xcweather?

Decided to pop to the shops during a lull in the rain, still got drenched

Also, take a look at xcweather forecasts, the wales location which has just had a 75 gust isn't meant to peak until around 6pm, with a peak of 68mph. Maybe we could see most figures 5-10mph up over forecasts during the peak

if this rain keeps up for another 20 minutes or so I'll have reached the 500mm rain mark for 2015 Currently at 496.2mm

Deluge has arrived, shop in this, no chance!

Under the oranges now on radar but the rain doesn't seem very intense, pretty moderate actually

Just started raining here, judging by the raindar it's going to start lashing it down very shortly, just as I need to go to the shop.

Latest surface obeservations showing the low now down to what looks like 978mb, although it's hard to tell with the chart so busy

Very windy here in burger king town

Silly London Electrics!

I see a squall line on radar over Bristol right now, I am starting a display in teh garden at around 7pm and it's going to take me at least 45 minutes to let everything off. I hope it fizzles out before it arrives here
