Pretty grim here now. Very low cloud, zilch visibility and continuous rain. Oh and gusting 40mph.

[Andy Bown]

We may have had the lowest temperature for 17 days overnight (still only down to 6.2c though) but it's already well on the way to double figures for the 21st day this month!

Lovely clear and colourful sunrise, however the cloud base is now lowering and drizzle in the air along with an increasing wind.

Totally miserable here ,periods of mod rain but mild wind howling down the chimney ,just checked on a few pots of spring onions i seeded back end of august and they are doing well ,thats three years in a row pulling spring onions at christmas ,even my beetroot looks ok but i expect they will be a bit woody ,looks like more atlantic weather to come but some signs hopefully of a cool down ,take care all .

[Rich_Clements]

Chillier this morning than of late although not cold in the general scheme of things, a few scattered showers first thing that blew through on a stiff wind which looks to have picked up.

note to self, stay away from the south east, I mean Model thread 

[MP-R]

A benign start with another fantastic sunrise, also chillier than of late with a minimum of 6C, so only a bit cooler than what one would expect during the day... all change now though with sheets of drizzle and a howling wind.

[knocker]

After what can only be described as a foul day a partial clearance. Still cloudy with all sorts Ci, Ac, Sc and fracto St but not raining. Temp 13C and wind dropped to westerly 15mph

[ARTDEMOLE]

Do not wish the weather tomorrow if it is wind all day from early morning.

[Dorsetbred]

Full halo'd moon here tonight.

[legritter]

Yes great Halo tonight , very atmospheric whilst out with the dog earlier could hear the local tawny owls and a few deer up in the woods .

looks like another spell of rain is in coming ,would be nice for a long sunny spell with frost ,perhaps in the outlook but that seems to be changing every time i look at the charts ,take care all 

[Rich_Clements]

I wish we could have a few dry days, my garden is like a scene from the Battle of the Somme

[knocker]

Cloudy, mild and windy. Temp 13C wind SW 25mph gusting 40.

[Dorsetbred]

Woken up this morning to the sound of the dustbin spreading it's contents across the pavement 

Sure is windy out there, currently:

Temp  12.6°C

DP  11.8°C

Rh  95 %

Rainfall 10.9mm

Wind 30mph gusting 42mph  SW

 

[Barbel]

14c, wind ave 22mph from SW here. 

[Mapantz]

Blowing a hoolie again, stronger than yesterday. 6.1mm of rain yesterday.

Current: Temp:14°C - Hum: 86% - Bar: 1014.11hPa, Steady - Rain: 4.3mm - Wind: SW, Gusting 35mph >

Had a 45mph gust this morning, that equals my all time high- considering the station is at 4.5m and there's plenty of houses in the direction the wind is coming from, that's pretty good!

I've just recorded a 55mph gust! I can vouch for it, as an anemometer that is set a good meter below it, has recorded 43mph.
