Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[Had Worse]

  @carl1980 Does look rather potent.

The most southern portion is expanding Southwards as it tracks ENE.

[Rush2019]

Wind has roused me from my slumber, light sleeper.  Have a squall approaching.

[Hoghtonwhite]

Christ, that felt like a hurricane had just moved through. What an experience of a squall line and so random. 

[Iceaxecrampon]

This belter just rattled through 

[Rush2019]

  @Hoghtonwhite yes, it's windy here, looks like the squall is fragmenting on its southern end, windy enough without it.

[Rush2019]

Passing over now, 3.12am, it's a right window rattler, rain pelting down too.

[weatherobsuk]

Well that woke me up quickly so much for 'light rain until the morning' as per the MWIS and local overnight forecast.

[RobR]

Winds potent but rain weak. Looks potent up north

 

[severe snowstorm]

Some really strong and gusty winds here. It's caused me to stir a few times over the past 3 hours or so, as well as the rain lashing against the window at times. The wind gusts have sounded as bad as Monday night, surprised there has been no warning to be honest.

[severe snowstorm]

Just had some proper house creaking gusts of wind. I'd say the wind strength is actually stronger than Monday night here.

[iand61]

As already said, a wild few hours overnight with the wind howling through the trees outside.

I don’t remember hearing much in the way of heavy rain though, just the wind but we have just had a short but sharp hail shower rattling against the windows.

Other than snow, this is the type of weather conditions I always associated with winter when growing up, instability and hail showers.

hopefully a quick clearance though with a better day coming up.

[carl1980]

Just been out to get the recycle bags and boxes from down the road,it was a wild night

[severe snowstorm]

Winds have abated a lot here now, things much calmer. Some vicious gusts of wind overnight and squally showers. It's definitely caught out the metoffice this event. 

[Rush2019]

Yes, I couldn't settle back to sleep, there's been some window rattling gusts.  Not as wet outside as I thought it would be, but noticed how the temperature has dropped, 12°C at 2.30am, just 4 and a bit hours later its just nudging 6°C.  Still a bit windy out here.

[Joe Snow]

A much windier night than forecast associated with the squall line pushing through. Some really wild gusts  

[Had Worse]

I slept right through. 

My youngest said he was woken by the wind and rain.

Looks ti be a usable day or Two coming up.

[Astral Goat Juice]

Super strong gusts last night which woke me up from the squall line. It actually looked like a hurricane out there - Would love to find out the gust speed of that one. 

[WillinGlossop]

Just retrieved our black bin, half full blown over with lid flapping… will go see if recycling (put out for collection) is half way up the road  

[A Face like Thunder]

I didn't wake at all last night and not sure whether the wind and rain affected us. Another lovely morning and looks good for a canal towpath walk this afternoon.

[weatherobsuk]

A 65mph gust was recorded in Buxton overnight as that squall line passed at 3:20am, which doesn't surprise me. 

[Rain Lady]

A grand bright morning.  Can see what we are doing at last, So much to tidy up.  But not as many problems as these --

Grand if blustery day ,slept through last night’s squall though wife said it was a window rattler

[Had Worse]

  @Scuba steve You must have slept inside last night them lol.

[damianslaw]

I was in rather pessimistic mood yesterday, probably a reflection of the very dull wet conditions of late. Alas, today is much brighter, alot of cloud still, but will take it.

The weekend looking very reasonable for high winter, a good one to blow away the cobwebs so to speak.
