tonight/tomorrows feature sharpens quite significantly on UKMO, doesnt look like much, but the winds may catch a few people out and fell already weakened trees
New Years Day also looking awful, with a similar secondary development which are hard to predict

Looks the same all week with rain and wind....
It's ony 8 am and it's already blowing a full on gale, doesn't help that it's coming straight in from the south. Going by the charts, there's about 6 to 8 hours of this to come at this end with the possibility of a sting at the end. Yet there's another round expected for Wednesday and that looks like having more of a punch. Like many in here, I'm getting a bit cheesed off with this wind. I don't care if it doesn't or won't snow but wish that jet stream would go easy on us. Bloody Canadians.
A woefully wet week week ahead too.

70mph last night was the high as the squall line passed through, along with a few hours of torrential rain. No warnings were in force for us, and to be fair the intensity of the squall took me by surprise. It was extremely difficult to drive through.
Dead calm and dry today
Very windy around the solent and has been like that for sometime.

The clearance has moved through here - the winds have dropped markedly.
Wasn't as bad as the previous 2 episodes here.
Meanwhile , there is a now familiar "roar" and Dover Castle again takes an absolute hammering.
Storm gone sun breaking out... No doubt more on the way....
