It's pouring with rain, conditions not helped by the fact it's travelling horizontally.

Recent Wind Speeds

Lands' End, gust of 55mph, mean speed up to 41mph (F8)
St Ives, gust of 47kt
Scilly @ 16:00 mean speed 45mph, gusting to 60mph.

In my part of Penzance, fairly sheltered from the SSW, a good F6 with gusts 40-45mph.

Much quieter conditions now the front's cleared eastwards.

Peak gust at the Penzance NCI station was 53mph.

Rapid fall in wind speed shows up well here http://www.landsendweather.info/met/mainframe.htm
