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

[Andy Bown]

Quite a run of similar days ongoing.
 

Today ; Very wet early, sun/showers from mid morning.

Looks very much the same tomorrow and Sunday.

[knocker]

Thunderstorm in progress at the moment

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Bit noisy in this lodge tonight!! 

[knocker]

The movement of the front today

[Rich_Clements]

Wow that was some rain that passed through earlier.

 

Blue skies now

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a clear sunny and calm day after the earlier rain this morning, the overnight low of 9.6°C at: 08:14, has struggled up to 11.9°C , RH85%, and the breeze direction has turned more westerly / WNW.

Meanwhile the skies are clear currently, out over the channel some patchy Sc, and a slight amount of white water..

The view from above shows the band of rain clearing eastwards, and a peppering of shows now showing to the west in particular to begin with South Wales..

Haha, I use to live in South Africa, and after 6months of no rain, the sound of rain on the tin roof was music to your ears...

[Dorsetbred]

Meanwhile a dry day albeit a little cloudier this afternoon with a prominence of Sc but it was Ac behind it earlier..

So cutting to the  chase todays high has been 14.1°C at: 13:26, currently 11.6°C with the wind in from the SW..

Currently the channel view looks like this...

[knocker]

Not a bad day, plenty of sunshine and only one shower

[jy]

Sandy Balls doesn't get rain,so must be other reasons for the noise,I'm 3 miles away and it hasn't rained for months

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a misty and wet start to the day as expected, with the overnight low of 7.2°C at: 00:00, now risen to 11.8°C, an RH95%, with almost 10mm of rain in the last hour and a gusty Southerly wind.

[knocker]

After the overnight rain, some large Cu around and a recent shower

[Frosty hollows]

Absolutely peeing it down here. Windy too

[SteveB]

Squall line just passing over. Looks like it should dry out shortly afterwards. 

[R Alto]

It's become very windy in the last 30 minutes and just checked Poole Harbour weather and its gusting 50 knots. The radar is interesting too!

[Mapantz]

Rough here!

Crikey! The noise that just went through, never heard that before.. almost a tornadic sound.

Just recorded 55mph.

That radar image is something..

59 knots gust in Poole Harbour now, thats 67 mph. Some of the strongest gusts of wind I've seen for a long while probably because of the Southerly direction.

[Bristawl Si]

Should've stayed in bed!

Yep. That short period was some of the roughest I've seen here for a long time! It went nuts.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Oooh it's mad dog out there!! I think the run roof is going to blow off this cabin lol. Some totally mental rain has gone through too. It was already flooded from Fri nights rain yesterday today will be faaar worse.. good job I brought the wellies with me. Well except hubbies ... Not sure my down coat is fit for this weather either!!

[R Alto]

Winds have veered and dropped now with the passing of a brief squall that just went through.

If you run the radar over the last 2 hours or so you can see that dryer slot surges NE mid channel which is where the strong wind was.
