Just to show two images from the British Met Office website, which should provide a taster of today's journal entry. Below is an infra red satellite image of a major Atlantic depression, at 4pm GMT today. There was no proper image in the visible spectrum, as darkness is falling across Europe at that time. Its central pressure is expected to go down to 947 mbar at midnight tonight. This is a classical image of what a depression looks like from space. Windspeeds up to 45 mph sustained, and 75 mph in gusts.
and associated with that the rainfall radar of the British Isles. The trailing edge of the front, the brighter colours, is just moving out over the Western Isles. It became dry at 6pm.
Very interesting. I bet everything is extremely damp around there. I hope you have access to a nice warm fireplace. It hasent stopped raining here for about a week. I live on a hill, and the road is like a small river running past my house. I bet its nothing compared to you, though! Stay warm and dry, Rhonda
