Wales, the Midlands & South West England Weather Discussion

[ARTDEMOLE]

Broken cloud. Sunny spells. 13.2c. Breeze gusting to 19 km/h. Power cut for 1 hour. this morning.

[Lyn-M]

Only 1.7mm to 09.00 and only spits and spots since.  Wind has increased dramatically in the last couple of hours.  Yeovilton is showing gusts in the mid to high 40s mph and it's certainly making it feel chilly.

[MP-R]

Very heavy hail shower squall just moved through with pretty violent winds and recycling bins/boxes all over the place. Was all quite dramatic and the temperature dropped from 11.7C to 8.4C to finish with a rainbow backlit by blue sky.

Gusty day but only the dregs of showers, no hail/thunder unfortunately but very blustery, 9.8c

Very windy earlier on here, 2 panels of our neighbour's 6 foot back fence totally ripped out and fell onto her patio. Guess that's one of the perils of living on a hill facing west.

 

Blustery now but wind's lost the strength it had earlier. Sunny/cloudy. Temp 9.7^oC.

[Polar Maritime]

Already 4.8c here & Wind-chill 1.8c, Feels chilly now winds have swung N/W. Still Gusting 48mph.

Pleasant but windy day in Llanelli/ Carmarthen, missed the showers.

What a day today as been Cats & Dogs even a....... TORNADO: 

 

THIS picture shows the tornado that formed over Burton earlier this morning.

Reader Adam Wright captured the stunning image as he made his way down Derby Road this morning.

Laura Young, press officer for the Met Office, said: "One of our weather experts has looked at the picture and has agreed that it is very, very likely to be genuine.

"The thickness shows that it represents what a tornado should look like.

We obviously got off lightly here.  Virtually no rain, just very windy, especially through the latter part of the afternoon.

Feeling well nippy out there, especially in the breeze - 9.7c and overcast. Yesterday was the first day of sun since last Sunday.... didn't last for long did it.

 

220mm rainfall this month, slightly above average. If the GFS is right there's plenty more to come.

That lot better die out, I have a door that is currently being fitted.

[Andy Bown]

It's barely reaching the ground Mapantz, only a few pimply spots here despite being under rainfall for over an hour. I am surprised though at how far South the weak Warm Front has got.

[A.J]

to sum up current conditions here, it's cloudy, drizzly, cool and rather pants
