Cold front came through at 0150 giving a gust of 36 knots at 3m agl.
Estimated mean and gust at 10m agl was SSW 25 knots gust 48 knots. This one
pressed in on the window glass but soon passed.
Total rainfall for event (since 0200 on 29th) was a whopping 91.1 mm.
No sudden temperature drop at front or rain increase, just a gusty period and
that was it.

0910

Next system is already evident as cloud is increasing.
Temp 8.7 deg C so still very mild.

So do I turn off my heating or give it a few days?

Sheesh 1.8 mm is that all?

It's always amazing how much rain the SW gets compared to the SE. A friend in
Tavistock recorded 62 mm and he is on low ground!

Already the rain is showing very heavy on the radar just off Cornwall and we
have a few light showers as a forerunner. Cloud is increasing rapidly now, and
I'm bracing myself for the onslaught again :-)

9.5mm in 24 hours to 09:00 in Penzance, so Devon appears to have been
generally a lot wetter than W. Cornwall, often the case in these
conditions. (We can get some very large rainfall totals with an
unstable NNW giving heavy showers streaming down in a line from the
Irish sea, when Devon & E. Cornwall are completely dry.) Windier
though, gusts 60mph at some exposed spots yesterday, 48mph here.

The brightest rainfall echos are east of Penzance now, and they seemed
to have overstated the rain somewhat, (another 4.5mm so far) possibly
because the drops were very large at times.

Can confirm an earlier shower with very large drops here too Graham. Now at 1215
radar looks *very* threatening for Dartmoor. Sky looks threatening too. We shall
see.

Light rain for present though, temp. a very mild 9.8 deg C.
