The cold front went through here in good fashion. Heavy, verging on
torrential, rain accompanied by squally winds and a noticeable amount of low
level shear. I was thinking line convection -

East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire (sorry Nottingham East Midlands

Up to press, it's been just windy and damp here, Joe.

Once again, it looks as if it's more-or-less evaporated on its way over
to us. It's been quite noticable today on the radar how the rain has
thinned out and then disappeared as it reached London.

Mean of 21KT to a mean of 7KT, feels like there is no wind at all in my back
garden, remarkable.
