ROad near me in Gravesend Kent unpassable due to the local council muppets
felling a tree which has crashed the wrong way in the high winds

No further obvious arboreal problems as the wind has decreased.
Onset of rain at 1325Z coincided with quite a kick in the pressure
in an upward direction.

Rain here in Winchester that started about ten minutes or so ago. Not a
great deal - just barely getting the ground damp.

Wind seems to have died down a lot for the moment at least.
