Now down to 990.8, rainfall 2.4mm, wind up to 14Mph

3.6 mm here now.

A very filthy night out there now. It's occasions like this when I think of the homeless.

---

Pressure down to 989.0 Mb.

Iused to be crew on this aircraft, this the one just crash landed in Jersey. Lucky escape for the crew.

  

Have recorded a pressure drop of 10 mb in the space of three hours as that low pressure inches closer to here.
  6 mm of rain has fallen so far, but I suspect Steve may be recording more than I am by now. Think I will ask Santa to get me a more decent weather station after all.
  Oh, and winds are now being a very strong south - straight in from the Channel which does suck. Much rather if it is coming in from the SW where I become more sheltered.

984.7, and still dropping quickly. 4.8mm rain, wind now ave around 25mph, max gust 31mph.

Edit: Make that 984.5, and gust 32mph

It did get very squally and gusty over here, just seen a couple of passing chavs battling to walk into the head wind.
But now the rain seemed to have stopped and even the wind has eased back. Pressure is now at 983 mb and I think that's it bottoming out. I've also noticed a jump in temperatures, it was 10.7 C two hours ago, now it's 12.4 C.
  I've recorded 10 mm dead on of rain.

PS: There's a definite shift in wind direction as the bit of rain that is still falling is now splashing onto my west-facing hobby room window.

We're still in the colder air, at 9.9C. Pressure 982.7. Looking at the radar the back edge of the rain should be with us v. soon. Just gonna wait for that, then it's offski for sleep!

---

Just about there I think! Pressure down to 982.0, but temp hinting at rising - up 0.1 to 10.0

Very stormy after a dry start clear start in Exeter this morning up until 2pm! I drove to Tiverton the sun became hazy and around 3pm and then A361 link road to Barnstaple and started drizzling and soon as I got to South molton it rained heavily and then when I arrived Braunton 4.30pm the rain was very heavy combined with strong winds.

The frontal system passed around 8pm - was a very quick system!

Temperature around Knowstone/Rackenford was around 6c then rose to 9c in Braunton and earlier it was 13c when I left 10C over Rackenford/Knowstone and 12c in Exeter. - So much milder but all in all a very unsettled and blustery day. - At least tomorrow will be a good day to dry some clothes outside or mow the lawn etc.

---

Pressure dropped even further to 981.2, but temp definitely on the rise, now at 10.5

---

temp here 5.1 a month later and i guess it would of been sleet possibly wet snow , it does feel cold outside

Another fairly good event. 

Rainfall total so far stands at 13.8mm with probably another 3 or 4mm due from the wrap around occlusion.

Current temperature is 7.9c after a max of 12.9c at 00.53hrs.

Pressure bottomed out at 980.8mb at 05.21hrs...now 983.1mb rising.

Peak rain rate 64.8mm/hr at 05.15hrs.

The cyclonic nature of the event meant that when I went  to bed at 10pm it was a screaming southerly and now with pressure moving away to the east its a screaming northerly.

Textbook stuff.

You're not gonna believe this but I've just had a look at my weather station and it shows 21.6 mm having fallen since 7 pm last night.  

But indeed, it's currently 7.5 C under a fresh northerly. Dare I say it, but what would happen if we had the exact same kind of synoptics in late January?

Anyway, now to try and get that leaky roof fixed ASAP.
