Cloudy all day yesterday, with a maximum of 11.3C, the lowest max of the autumn by a full degree. Patchy rain from noon, gradually becoming more persistent with an increasing easterly wind.

A wet & windy night, 12.3mm of rain in the 24 hours to 09:00 today, when it was still raining. Gusting 50mph at Lands End, so the rain is horizontal.

Also very big tides. Luckily the pressure is not low, and there's not a big swell, but it is very rough & anywhere east facing is catching it. Tides around 0.2m above the already very high astronomical tide.

We've got a good 36 hours of this to go, I think I'll hibernate. It's not as if it's exciting, just grim.

20mm of rain for the event so far in Penzance & Bosullow, Gusts to well over 60mph at Gwennap Head where it reached F9. A biggish swell now coming from an unusual direction into normally sheltered spots. As a result flooding in Falmouth (Swanpool area) & other spots (some overtopping at St Ives at high tide.

It has been pretty bad, strongest wind in Penzance since before summer. F8 on Scilly since 08:00.

So gale, heavy rain, flooding from the sea, no weather warning. (England not affected?)

Gusty, wet (12.7 mm in 24 hrs) and grim here too Graham.

Still raining, 48 hours now with very few breaks. At least its no longer a gale & milder. Yesterday saw the strongest winds sincelast winter at my station.

Some issues on the last 2 high tides at anywhere facing east. Flooding on the Liskeard to Looe line, Scilly basically cut off etc. Freight ship spent the night stuck on st Marys, where it was a F8 for 12 hours.

At least its passed the grim phase and edged into interesting/exciting!

Technically, as a group of islands, isn't Scilly *always* cut off... :P
