The latest MetO charts show over 100mm of rain on Dartmoor by the time Austen and Boelo have passed through, and widely 40-50mm across a swathe of the south and south west from Kent and up into west Wales (where the high ground also sees 60-90mm.

Yes, I suspect Dartmoor will be most in the firing line for rainfall.

A few tweaks in recent output have led me to hope that perhaps we may now avoid the worst of the rain up here but I’m not sure. On the other hand winds look like they could be more of an issue now with Boelo.

Yes I think so. I'll start one if no one else does. 

Sky here about 20 mins ago. Same still but sun now completely obsured. Always loved this cloud type but is surprising rare to see in these parts as they are usually hidden by the abundance of  lower clouds. 

It looks like the Isles of Scilly and far Southwest will  bear the brunt of it - gusts to the low to mid 80s look likely here. With the wind from the North West which is the same as Storm Gorretti was then I'd expect damage to be exacerbated due to already weakened trees and shelter belts.

That said gusty storm force winds from the NW are not a good direction for Cornwall as the trees are leaning the other way. We could really do without losing power again. 

But very good for our area if we get very strong NW and cold 850's that will bring lot of snow showers inland via Cheshire Gap just it came too early this month.

 if this came 1 month later perhaps get -8C 850's and copious amount of heavy snow showers as it not a dry set up.

Lowest pressure overnight was 978mb now 996mb that’s in 3 hours. We still have power fingers crossed it stays on.

Have had a message from my brother in south Devon, just outside the orange warning, he said nothing of any note down there, what he really said can't be written.

It will be wet and windy there now - sudden rain and wind here in the last half hour.

Just a standard dismal autumn day here so far,  with moderate rain and a light breeze.

I can't see anything particularly severe hitting around here  this time, but the invigorated jet  means the risk is always there going forward.

Never understood the naming of bog standard storms.  Storm mean thunder. lightning, strong winds, heavy rain/hail, tornadoes or sea tornadoes and damage properties.  This what Cyprus had their violent storm on 29th August this year with 1 death reported. All I see outside just bog standard wind and rain.

And that was what was forecasted for your area - unless you're in Cornwall?

The rainfall radar shows the low pressure and its spirals of rain spinning anticlockwise perfectly, as it trundles slowly east along The Channel. Well worth a look.
