Hi gotto, not me.

Not you, windy enough for you already I bet.

Some sort of answer to my question is provided by this.

gottolovethisweather

judging by the satellite image, roughly in a line from newcastle to cornwall at the moment

Cheers Bobby and Pyro.

[snow raven]

Oh well, I'm off to bed to sleep through it no doubt! Lots of puddles to wake up to in the morning.

[West Sussex Kate]

Hope he isn't going via Whiteways roundabout at the top of Bury Hill as the road is blocked there by a fallen tree. I suppose he could go via Amberly but then he is just as likely to find a fallen tree that way.

He hasn't text anymore, hope he finds another route. Thank you.

I just had a really nasty squal come in off the irish sea, easy to see on the radar, temp droped 2.5c in about 15 minute.

does that constitute a cold front ?

looks heavy on my poor mans radar.

using my untrained eye i'll suggest it looks to be forming into a very long squall line, north cornwall to liverpool?

pressure drop has slowed now from 3.3 to 1 mb/hr

[pyrotech]

The latest positioning at 21z was as below You can view charts here or on radar latest page

The front is right on the edge of the cloudline so cold front currently running up thru wales see image below

So showers following could become wintry

[Insert Name Here]

dead calm here now

[Purplepixii]

Finally off to bed after putting buckets under 3 leaks in the conservatory! Here's hoping I get some sleep, stay safe all x

[Dorset_Weather]

Still a bit windy but not as bad as I thought it was going to be IMBY anyway.

Sustained 21.6mph gusting 30.4mph

Pressure still falling 1.8mb/hr now at 984.2mb

temp rising 12.3c DP 11.5

Rain today is at 19.2mm falling at 3.4mm/hr

Not expecting much more tonight to be honest but its still looking like us in the South still have Thur\Fri to look forward to, with the Met still going for a strong storm across the South.

[Just Before Dawn]

pretty breezy here at the moment - pressure drop has been pretty impressive though 1001hPa at 4pm down to 985 at 11pm.

Most helpful Pyro, cheers. Treiagonaut, you seem to be spot on!

Another update like that one in another hour or two would be most helpful but I think most will be trying to sleep by then.

What temps do we have guys n gals? I'm somewhere in the warm sector with a AT of 10.3c, maybe this way we can track the front in REAL TIME?

Wet Regards

[cj114]

I have 9.3c. AND I HAVE PUT THE BINS OUT. lol

[Wivenswold]

I'm kind of delighted that I'm not the only person who's discovered that they own a leaky conservatory tonight. At least all of my trees are still standing.

[kmanmx]

9.2c hear, hottest its been so far.

[bobbydog]

off to bed now, fence is still standing- for now...

[pyrotech]

Thats one hell of a hook forming near the centre of the Low.

Plus we have 3 centres which was forecast by or noticed intime for surface pressure chart (fax charts) which meto put together with human input not just computer.

i have marked all 3 below.

[WaitingForMackerel]

Just take a quick peek on floodwarn if no one here to answer for location of cold front later, it will basically follow the line of cloud accross the Country.

I estimate it will be near London about 3am and will have cleared south UK by 06z

[Zenarcher]

6.6c here and pressure 965mb.

[Nick F]

Gust of 74mph measured at Langdon Bay in east Kent at 11pm:
