Travelling back north to Edinburgh on the train soon, should be some good showery skyscapes!

As at 8:10 am BST (07:10 UTC) this morning, the temperature at Edinburgh Gogarbank was 5.4°C.

Has some hail and sleet as temp fell to 3.5c. 

Going to be very windy later, 50mph NW winds, not pleasant. 

That same front has just gone through here - a rumble of thunder and some hail, as well as very squally winds (looked to be around 50mph, the trees were bending in the wind).

Thankfully the hills a couple of miles to the west weakened it, though... at the yacht club a few miles further to the west they recorded a gust of 66mph! It seemed to coincide with a "kink" in the front, and was accompanied by >96mm/hour rainfall rates, according to the radar. The peak here was 35mm/hour. Here's the windspeed graph from the yacht club at Sheerness:

The car's ice warning flicked on as one really heavy burst dragged down air cold enough to knock the temp down to 3c.

I'm at Newcastle now in beautiful sunshine! Heading north to Edinburgh, there are beautiful anvil clouds over the Pennines to the west 

However, there is also a cold wind. As a result, the temperatures are now refusing to rise and remain stuck at just 7.8°C at Edinburgh Gogarbank as at 12:40pm BST (11:40 UTC) this afternoon which isn't even the least bit warm for this time of the year.😡

Yesterday morning, the squall passed through here at 9:20am and left fallen branches and broken fence panels in its wake. My stations wind speed graph looks very similar to the one for Sheerness Yacht Club above although I only recorded 55mph.
