First gale of the autumn in west Cornwall. Gusting to 45mph here, not quite
a gale, but it is on the sea front with gusts 50-60 mph, 50mph recently at
Culdrose. Thoroughly unpleasant with driving rain. The deterioration was
really rapid.

Apparently it's 'very unpleasant on the roads' according to the MetO. It's
pretty unpleasant in my back garden (due to the weather, not the general
appearance).

It's howling a hooley here too. Heavy, horizontal rain with a 'river'
running down the street outside. 6.0 mm of rain in the last hour, it has got
heavier recently so that total should shoot up.

Don't know how windy it 'really' is because my anemometer is in a unsuitable
place (old Devonshire cob cottages weren't designed with a weather station
in mind).

Graham the roads are atrocious round here tonight. Debris and water everywhere.
Apart from when we get snow I have never seen the roads so bad in wet
conditions, it's like the land cannot take any more water and every drop of rain
is running away. If this wet spell continues then it is going to get very
serious in parts of Devon.

Good for some- cavers! The increased flow will clear the foul air and
shift farmyard pollution in some caves on the Mendips. Low flow rates
have made certain caves' disappointing' recently.
Anyway, I gather pressure will build somewhat this weekend and steer
any beefy depressions further north.
