Severe and unpleasant as this low has been with regards to the main
frontal system and the more than 24 hours of strong winds, one thing that has been notable compared to, say, the deep lows of April is how little shower activity there has been here. One might expect a low like this to give the normal "sunshine and showers" on steroids with funnel clouds, large hail etc but there's been nothing of the sort, here at least. Occasional spells of rain (not really showers, more like short-duration frontal rain in character) overnight, but little rain - or sun - during the day - just a near 8/8 sheet of cloud, rather low most of the time, now starting to rise. Has this been the case elsewhere? Nick |

Out of the wind in east facing Mousehole it felt very pleasant. Sea's back to 'just a decent swell' now http://www.minack.com/webcams.htm Graham Penzance |

The low centre had only crept as far as Lancs/ Cumbria by 12:00UTC Friday and is thoroughly wrapped by its occlusion. Stephen. |

Nick .... similar here, though as Stephen says in another part of the thread, I wouldn't have expected too much - surprised we didn't get a 'spit in the wind' sort of shower, but the day has been dry, blustery, with cloud base lifting slowly & fragmenting from early afternoon, though still half-cover. One tree down in Ferndown (nearby) which has caused traffic chaos and I understand that there are other such events across the county (Dorset).
