What a wild, wet and windy spell starting in the early hours this morning.
Driving over Woodbury Common near Budleigh Salterton at 8am this morning was
'interesting' with the twigs, acorns and small branches travelling
horizontal hitting the car and especially the windscreen and making hell of
a bang as they did. The wind at the time was gusting to over 40 mph which
was causing problems due to all the trees still being in full leaf. Some
trees were blown down blocking roads.

Temperature overnight did not drop below 15.2°C and it felt warm and very
humid for much of the day. Recorded a high of 18.0°C at 11:30 in the
sunshine after the rain cleared before it turned slightly cooler and
fresher. Recorded a maximum dewpoint of 16.8°C which was the highest
dewpoint since the 28th of July and the 2nd highest recorded this year.

A total of 13.4 mm in the last 24 hours, most of which fell between 06:45
and 09:30 today.

A very different night ahead with the stars shining and light winds, the
temperature is starting to drop.

(20:40), 11.3°C, RH 83%, DP 8.9°C, 1009 hPa (R), Wind 3 mph WSW.
