Cumulus Support

This year highest temperature , not expected it will be beaten in 2012 coming period wil be cooler and these temperatures are rare in september till may.

New highest minimum yesterday

21C . 70F

August Rain Rate on my VP2 beats previous high of 123.8 in July 2012. Only set up in mid June so missed April 2012

Not quite a new record but I had a pressure drop I didn't have for a long time simply because of a rain shower


We've yet to see "decent" weather

New record with Cumulus data with longest Dry Period of 54 days to 17 September. Note that the station in use with Cumulus measures to 0.5mm. Also August was the driest August with only 0.2mm. Late winter to early spring is often a dry time of year but it would be nice to get a bit more rain, it is rather dry.

This is the daily rain for the last few months (using a manual rain gauge with my manual records):

September (6.6mm) - 19th -1.7mm, 21th - trace, 22th -1.8mm, 24th -0.1 mm (fog), 25th - 2.2mm
August (0.2mm) - 31th - 0.2mm
July (52.1mm) – 19th – 13mm, 25th trace, 26th - 1.5mm, 28th – 0.1mm

New High Wind Gust recorded yesterday at 5:24am @ 37.4mph
Which also resulted in my 2nd highest wind speed average day at 26.2mph (current highest average is 27.1mph recorded on 03/01/2012)

Broke the previous record which was set 31/03/2010 by 0.9mph (36.5mph)

It went up to 20.8°C in the afternoon, making in the 5th highest October Maximum since i started recording back in 2006.
And of course the highest maximum for this month, tomorrow and Saturday it might even get to 22 or 23°C, fingers crossed.

The rain here has been ridiculous the last couple of days, to the point where driving became dangerous

Highest Rain Rate 140.4 mm/hr at 12:41 on 18 October 2012
Highest Hourly Rainfall 28.2 mm at 12:45 on 18 October 2012
Highest Daily Rainfall 33.6 mm on 18 October 2012

Broken again today

Highest Rain Rate 162.0 mm/hr at 09:32 on 19 October 2012
Highest Hourly Rainfall 36.6 mm at 07:52 on 19 October 2012
Highest Daily Rainfall 96.9 mm on 19 October 2012


We have some quite bad flooding up here, but because it's Anglesey, why would national news be interested

Highest Daily Rainfall 29.2 mm on 20 October 2012

Some new all time records for rainfall rate (now180mm/hr) and also highest hourly rainfall have been broken with heavy rain from storms.

On the weekend we had some severe storms pass thorough including very intense heavy rain (in one storm we got 28mm in 10 minutes). But we were fortunate that the worst of the storms did not pass through here, they often weaken slightly before it gets here. We had a big severe storm late Saturday morning (maximum rain rate of 142mm/hr) and another severe one in the evening (maximum rain rate of 180mm/hr). We also had a mild storm early Sunday morning, a moderate storm later in the morning followed by another moderate storm in the afternoon. Then in the evening we had another severe storm (maximum rain rate of 100mm/hr). It has been a while since we had severe storms and last summer we did not have too many and I have only been using Cumulus with my La Crosse since last spring so it has been the highest rain rates I have recorded with Cumulus. Before this the highest rain rate was 74 mm/hr. We ended up with 98.2mm in total. One storm delivered 50.2mm.
