Tropical system Leslie was nothing more than grey skies and a stiff breeze when it passed Bermuda this weekend.

Leslie's closest point of approach was 200 miles to the northwest at approximately 8 a.m. Saturday.

At the centre of the tropical depression there were sustained winds of only 30 knots, gusting to 40 knots, but these winds did not affect Bermuda.

A spokesperson for the Bermuda Weather Service said the main concern was a trough attached to the southern edge of the storm which contained thunderstorms and squalls. That system passed over Bermuda Saturday night, with winds between 16 to 18 knots, lightning and thunderstorms.

A cold front moved over Bermuda from the north then stalled to the south, then moved back over the Island from the south to the north as a warm front brought yesterday morning's wet conditions.

The wet weather is not over however, as another front moving off the US seaboard will pick up energy over the Gulf Stream and link up with a lingering front, causing more unsettled weather for tomorrow.

At the start of summer it appeared Bermuda could be heading into drought conditions but, as of yesterday, 53.36 inches of rain has been recorded to date, compared to the average of 41.96 inches.

Fire Services reported three incidents of flooding over the weekend.
