Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
It does look very wet and nasty.
Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund

Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund

Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
Here is the Met office 5 day pressure map, showing the low pressure. It seems to come up from Biscay, and then start to almost rotate around itself. Maybe Nadine likes dictating where she goes, and it not going to fit in with any jet stream

Looks like we are going to get hit badly here. 60+mm of rain and gusts of wind in excess of 60mph!!
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
Well the time is 9-25 the rain has just started down here, The weather station is showing the wind speed is increasing and the pressure is dropping slowly so this must be the start of things.

09:45 - no rain here yet, but the sky is darkening and wind strengthening as the pressure falls. Had the worst of both worlds as was clear and still allowing temps to drop further than forecast.
Wind definitely strengthening while I've been writing this. Now up to 17mph gusts from calm at 07:15. Pressure gradient steepened sharply after 09:15.

Rain just started 10:18 although the garden does need it, just 11.9C at the moment, is way to low, and not due to rise. Getting blankets out for the kids who arrived home from Egypt about 4am complaining of COLD, too cold !!!!

It went down to 12c at 2-36am this morning and now its 13c the wind speed is a avg of 13mph over the last 10 minutes and we have had 0.6mm of rain since it started but its more steady rain now. Wrap the kids up and make them nice and warm.
Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
Its cool, its September..........
Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
The heavy rain has just started now and the weather station is say its raining at a rate of 6.4mm per hour also the pressure is falling rapidly.
Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
First spots of rain just before 10am. At times it was almost torrential pm. 12.1c at 10.00, 10.2c at 16.45 with gusts over 30km/hr. Rainfall so far 11.0mm.
Interesting aside - This storm over the UK has been spawned by Ex-hurricane Nadine but the remnants of the original storm are now affecting the Canary Islands. Friends report that thunderstorms this afternoon have ended a drought that started in January 2011.

Re: Tropical Storm (Ex Hurricane) Nadine, and wet windy sund
Went shopping at about 1:30pm and roads were flooded in all the places prone to flooding and water gushing up out of manhole covers down near the river. Temp fell to 9.9C and had 19.05mm since 10:30. It eased off for a while about 4:30pm, but has started with a vengeance again now. High gust and wind speed 30 mph.
Best regards
