Many eastern parts of the UK were dry at first but wet and very windy
weather across Northern Ireland, Wales and southwest England moved
quickly east during the night reaching all but northeast Scotland by
dawn. The rain in the north was preceded by snow over higher ground.
During the morning the wet and windy weather continued its eastward
migration and it was quickly followed in the south by bright or sunny
spells and blustery showers. These were prolonged and heavy at times
with local thunder. Cloud and rain over Scotland moved slowly north
in the afternoon. In south the bright or sunny spells continued but
there were further blustery and occasionally heavy showers and hail
was reported in northwest London. During the evening the showers
tended to die out across central and northeast England and clear
spells developed there. It was a very windy day and strongest gusts
were 83kt at Needles at 13z and 71kt at Mumbles at 04z.
Temperatures generally were close to the average for the time of
year.
