Storm Callum gave southerly gales on Friday and Saturday here.
Gusts were up to 54 knots on Friday afternoon.
The windiest its been for some time.

Is anybody there?

Been blown away?

Still going down..

We are now in a state of less water in our SW Water reservoirs than this time last year.. The present break in the drought will arrest the fall temporarily. Interesting to see that the demand for water has decreased in the last 2 decades in the Southwest. Presumably due to metering. This is not what...

Compared to your location Martin, our dry spell only started in May. 37.3 mm in May. (Average 61 mm) 8.8 mm to 17th June. (Average 65 mm) The 'winter-half' precipitation [October - March] for Wembury was 130% of LTA. Our South West Water reservoirs are fairly full at around 90% so there is no worry ...

Reported as second warmest May since 1878 as shown by Central Engalnd Temp (CET).

Warm, but only 4th warmest in my record going back to 1986 in Wembury.

mean temps:
2008 14.8C
1989 14.6C
1998 14.4C
2018 14.0C

Over the last 30 years, April in Wembury shows a significant warming trend.

Rain total to 16th, 74.2 mm. That's 111% of average. The second half cannot possibly be as wet looking at the medium term forecast. But I would not be surprised to see the 100 mm total being reached by the end of the month. We had 142.9 mm in 2012 followed by a wet June July and August. This can't h...

Seems you missed the very wet winter of 2013/14 in N Staffs Paul. Only 300 mm as opposed to 600mm at Hurn! 93/94 seems to be your wettest at 375 mm, 514 mm in Wembury, my second wettest in my record and not far off 543 mm in 2013/14. Clearly Newcastle- under-Lyme is in a rain shadow, and no where ne...

My perception is that winters are getting wetter in S. Devon.
I am not sure how true this is but the graph below hints at this.

Same here Nick.

1st to 11th March

Rain 80.2 mm (My 30yr average for March is 91.3 mm)
Mean max 8.1°C
Mean min 2.5°C

I'm fed up with squelching around my garden
and coastal paths are mostly mud baths.
