WOW! the rain is absolutely chucking it down here at the moment

[mistyqueen]

Strongest gust I've had here is 57.3mph and that was at midday! It quietened down significantly during the afternoon but the winds have picked up again.

[Thunder Snow]

Thankfully wind and rain has moved through. Some minor damage just been for a little drive about a few branches lying around a couple for sale signs down lol

Try driving through one of those Line Convection squalls and that will give you enough to warrant a yellow/brown warning !

[Swaledalehenry]

Avg wind down to 17mph in last 10 mins.

In for a quiet night?

Cheers, Met Office gust predictions were pretty much spot on for the Western Isles then. 

[Zenarcher]

South Uist now reporting 84 mph gusts and Barra 89 mph.

[Chris.R]

A bit breezy and less than 2 mm of rain with the cold front. Very little to write home about here. Temp down to 10.3 from 14.0°C pre front

[Liam J]

Abigail down to 968mb between Iceland & Scotland, very tight gradient on SW flank over the Atlantic. 

 

 

[weatherobsuk]

Still some time for the 60mph gusts in northern Scotland to die down, here in the Peak District the strongest winds were noticeable for a few hours between 4pm and 8pm. Apparently it was torrential rain in Buxton and Manchester but the squall managed to find a 'slot' where I live and we avoided the worse of the rain and SLW gusts associated. 

 

Got my eye on NW coasts where the showers are now moving through, where there's a possibility of somewhere in the NW seeing a lightning strike or two into the early morning hours.

[Chris.R]

Quite a few sferics within 50 miles. A big shower out to the west. Temperature dropping, currently 8.4°C. This is more like it!

[The PIT]

The squall found a slot here as well. and not a lot happened as it faded out moving south east

Abigail currently sitting to the north of Scotland with severe gales affecting Shetland this morning, gusting 60-70mph. A cool westerly air stream in her wake with snow falling over parts of Scotland.
