Interesting trough approaching from the south west ( 0430GMT)
 

Looks like a nice trough moving into the west of the UK with the latest
radar showing a large area of heavy rain over the SW together with gusty
winds (0400GMT)
Interesting few hours ahead I think.

I can also confirm it's quite lively down here, Alan. The 0600Z radar image
shows a narrow, intense line of echoes extending west along the coast from
the main band associated with the trough. The line (roughly lying between
Plymouth and Penzance) is perhaps not too dissimilar to that associated with
tornado development.

I live in Taunton, Somerset and the weather here is terrible! Heavy rain and
very strong gusty winds!

I live in west Cornwall and can confirm your post.
The rain is lashing against the bedroom window and judging by my patented
anemometer (the pampas grass in next door's garden!) the wind must be around
35 knots in the gusts.

My patented "wheelie-bin-ometer" went spinning across the garden
around 8 am this morning thus, confirming gusts of 40mph or more. It
also confirms the accuracy of Solent MRSC, reporting gusts to 52
knots, and Southampton Airport (further inland) to 39 knots.

Associated with the cold front and front edge of a line of heavy rain
shown on the radar images around that time, from NW Wales to the Isle
of Wight and into France. Look at this 8 am image I copied from the
excellent www.avbrief.com:

My wheelie-bin-ometer never fails me :)

Hi Dave,

My bin went flying around too but EGNX (East Mids) only has winds to
high 20KTS. The image seems to show a good example of line convection.

PS Watch out for copyright etc with that image.

Hi David,
how about using Eumetsat's Meteosat pages as they now have a 12 hourly WV
animation
