Quite an exciting ten minutes at 13:55.

Sudden increase in wind, gust to 41mph, torrential rain with hail and
now a clearance from the SW, with patches of blue sky.

I'm pretty sure that was the cold front which raced past here just before
12.30. After about an hour of subsiding air and sunny conditions, the
really unstable air is now approaching with associated heavy showers and
strong gusts. The wind direction is gradually going to veer to the west.

The next 6-9 hours are crucial. Speeds to my north west must be F11-12.
