Just back from Dover - power has been restored to most, if not all, of the villages we were called to help. I spoke to one poor resident who's had to throw all her food away, having had no power since Monday.


To think it could all be repeated tomorrow

Indeed. Wind has increased suddenly and markedly here in the last few minutes and the rain is now pretty heavy.  We are only in a rain warning areas here, but that is bad enough !

Expect the yellow warnings for rain to be removed for the south imminently, as soon as they notice the radar...

Latest NAE shows a whopping 7mm here and even that may be an overestimate.

It had been forecast to bottom at 942 on the GFS - it is already at that figure instead of the 950 forecast for 22.00 hours. Has it reached peak early or still to deepen further, we'll soon see.

After a calm and sunny day the wind is starting to get up now. Nothing to severe, yet.... The first few spots of rain are just hitting the window.

Similar theme here. The calm here was very quickly replaced with gusty winds that far outdo anything we've experienced so far this winter. It's going to be a noisy night!

Can hear the wind picking up markedly the last few minutes, there's a big field to my south with no houses to block the wind and the wind is coming from that direction.
