Meteorological advice

Post by roy4eyes »

Can any of you amateur (or indeed professional !!) meteorologists out there advise me of the approximate wind direction/strength when there was the heavy rainfall on Sunday/Monday 30/31 March.
This is to help me find the source of water ingress in our house.

Thankyou folks.

Thanks HR. That answers my query - it was the very strong due S wind that forced rain water under the front door and not any structural problem (I hope !!)

That happened when we house-sat. You need a higher threshold. :D

Don't tell me you couldn't "see" where it was coming from, you need a drip beading on the door and a strip of surface drain laying, simps!

Hi Pato

I was in England at the time and even my eyesight is not good enough to see that far :lol:
