Interesting weather yesterday - looking for reports: rugby, halstead (Essex) and Newport (Gwent)

[Ohyoubadbadkitten]

Gwent - lunchtime reports please
Halstead - late afternoon reports please
Rugby - early evening.

Looking for information on the severe wind events that took place in each location which may possibly have been tornadoes.

If you don't want to give your location away then either pm me or contact TORRO (the tornado and storm research organisation) with any obs or information. TORRO will keep your personal information confidential.

We are ten or so miles SE of rugby. Weather was vile around half seven but nothing out of the ordinary noticed

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2364281.stm not yesterday but I remember when this one hit us - my neighbours fence disappeared and we never did find it

Newport Gwent lunchtime here.
Wind yes, rain yes, tornadoes?? Ummm i don't think so!
Obviously I can't be 100% for all of Newport but in my little bit (east) there was no tornadoes.
I suppose that doesn't really help you does it?

Poorbuthappy, thank you :) it was down by bettws allotments around 12:30 ish.

YAK, may come back to you on that.

TL some info here

Off to work in a mo, please keep bumped for me so people spot it.

I was far away enough from Bettws to render my entire post useless!!

sorry, should have been more specific, trying to be time efficient by putting all 3 in one post.

Btw, negative reports in those areas are useful.

Bump

Bump again :)

Looks like tomorrow could possibly be another interesting day......

roof tiles were off in rugby and trampolines and metal sheds thrown about according to the local news.
