South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 08 Feb 2021 Onward

[DaveL]

Worth mentioning I think that we were near the bullseye in a stream of heavy rain lasting 3 hours on and off yesterday morning starting about this time. 22.2mm of rain from that lot, most of it in two half hour torrents.

[knocker]

Broken cloud, Cu/Sc and breezy but dry

[MP-R]

A revolting morning so far. Dark, wet and breezy. 

[Andy Bown]

Advised my wife it’s going to improve after lunch so we’ll go to Swanage and try to have a bit of beach time.
 

Face value a low shower risk, sunny spells and 17/18c is fine.

Just looked closer and saw the predicted wind and feels like temperature. She’s not going to be impressed !!

[Dorsetbred]

Morning all, some rain overnight/early this morning so RH93%, an overnight low of 12.3°C at: 01:00 has struggled up just over a degree to current  13.5°C

Overcast skies as the band of overnight rain clears eastwards

But at least the sea temperature is warmer than the air temperature, currently 18.5 °C.

The sea is looking calm down there this morning..

My heating came on earlier! It feels colder to me today. Could be just me I do have wet hair from the shower this morning and as its thick and long takes forever to dry. Yes I know hairdriers exist but cba LOL! 17c and not a surprise that it's cloudy!

[knocker]

A reasonably sunny day with a mixed cloud picture  but now a fair amount of Cs invading the sky and some merdium Cu. Quite breezy

As has been the case for a while the showers, try thier best but , hardly manage to bust the snowdome, so a shower free day in the local area although I was a mere 2 miles away as the birds fly and picked up a 2minute shower, which didnt manage to reach here.

A peak 17.9°C at: 14:34, kinda pleasant with no rain, hoping for some top up rainfall before the heat returns..

[MP-R]

A largely sunny post 2pm period here after a rather grim morning, so could be worse.

This weather really does have an autumn equinox feel about it.

[knocker]

The moderate rain has arrived

I’m off down there tomorrow until Tuesday !! Not looking great tomorrow, warnings everywhere in the south for thunderstorms.

My judgment from 2 days here is on WSW flows the coastal areas miss the worst of the showers.

[knocker]

Cloudy, mainly Cu/Sc with showers around and still breezy

[lettice]

Very heavy rain started at 2am here and turned to light rain around 7am, but heavy occasional showers are back now.
45mm in total.

Been a rainy period since Thursday;
Thu 5mm, Fri 1mm, Sat 39mm, Sun 3mm

Be glad to see the back of it and liking the sunny forecasts.

Yeh looks like it was quite localised here.
We do not often get the heaviest rain here
Still since 11am the sun has been out.
Dried up well already, so no harm. 

[knocker]

A warning for storms developing in the next 9 hours

[jtay]

Vile.

[knocker]

Not a bad day, dry with some sunshine. A fair amount of cloud now mainly Cu/Ac
