ANGUS – storm brings interesting weather

The past twenty-four hours have brought some real weather thanks to storm Angus.
The temperature slowly rose to around 6C during daylight hours but dipped early evening to then rise to 8.4C at 01.03. With the wind backing into the north the temperature has dropped over the past three hours reaching a low of 3.7C at 08.00.
The rain started just before 6pm and intensified just before and after midnight producing 25.3mm, the wettest day since 27th August. This brings the total for November to 82.2mm, which is 90% of the long-term average with much more to come in the next day or so.
Winds intensified to 28mph during the early evening but peaked at 31 mph just after 5am. The wind yesterday started off from a south-westerly direction, backed into an easterly late evening then during the last eight or so hours continued backing into the north then north west at 08.00. The effect of the strong wind and low temperature was a wind chill factor in that it felt more like -3C.
All this was brought about as the storm Angus approached and departed to the east. The barometric pressure dropped rapidly to a minimum of 971.6mb at 04.20, the lowest since the end of March, since rising rapidly to 982.1mb at 08.00.
