20mm, highest gust 40 km/h, lowest pressure 1002.8 hPa.

UkMet and Icon nailed the more easterly track 72 hours out. BoM did ok but EC flopped along with all the American models even up to the last 36 hours until they corrected themselves.

46mm out of it in the 9am yesterday till this morning, much less than I anticipated. What was more surprising was the lack of wind. Barometer Dropped a lot yesterday from around 1013 @ 9am, to a low of around 998 before climbing back up to around 1009 presently. I'm glad it was well East of us. The only real wind to write home bout, was from about 11am till 12.30am. Even then it wasn't that bad, maybe 40 km/hr Av and 65 km/hr peak, barometer movement was unremarkable. I feel like we dodged a bullet so to speak.
