Storm Antoni gave us ten hours of rainfall amounting to 13.1mm that took the monthly total to 29.1mm, almost half the long-term average. The centre of the depression was immediately above our area that saw the barometric pressure drop to 1001.1mb just before midday. The cloudy conditions meant a cool day, not aided my strong southerly winds gusting to a peak of 28mph. The skies began to clear late evening that allowed the temperature to drop to 9.4C being 2.4C below average.
As we were under the centre of the storm we did not experience the extreme wind gusts that occurred around the outer edges of the storm, but we did have the wettest day since 22nd July.
Sunday, thankfully, arrived with sunshine after dawn that lifted the thermometer to 13.4C by 08.00. The barometric pressure has been rising overnight with a rise of 17mb from the low point with a pressure of 1018.1mb at 08.00. Now that the depression is to the east of the UK, the wind has veered back into the northwest.
