Post was too late, but reviewing radar imagery this morning
suggests
presence of a 'Broken-S' LEWP feature just south of the apex of
the
wave feature crossing southern England.
I would be very interested to hear of any reports of wind damage
across Wiltshire/Hampshire 1130-1230Z ,
thanks,
David

... we were in the Castlepoint (NNE of central Bournemouth / SW of
Hurn) shopping area as the trough (drawn attached to the shallow wave
on 12Z ASXX) passed overhead; rain steadily/moderate from 1030Z, then
a short period of heavy rain ~1145/1150Z, before abrupt clearance to
dry/well-broken cloud 1205Z.

Wind was 'gusty' without being anything out of the ordinary - *nothing
noted within the cloud structure that was out of the ordinary.

From the SYNOPs for Hurn, the top gust was 36 kn (reported on the
1150Z & 1250Z issue, but I fancy that it actually occurred ON the
1150Z data capture, so it was credited to both hours).

Coming back here (travelling NE), no sign of any debris etc., but
looking at the radar, we were too far south perhaps. However, the
low-level shear associated with the trough was obviously notable, as a
light aircraft doing 'circuits and bumps' from EGHH was slipping
sideways and the pilot was obviously having difficulty correcting for
changing wind direction & speed at his/her altitude ~ 1500ft.

Reports of damage coming in from the Romsey-Petersfield, Hampshire,

Any body with an AWS in this area?
