  1. A bit to my surprise, the sun came out at times during the afternoon, although still interspersed with mainly light showers. The main issue was the beastly wind on the coast which pegged temperatures drastically, with the East Yorkshire coast not getting above 5C today (BBC radio weather forecast). More of the same tomorrow it seems.
  2. The good news is that it's finally stopped raining (for the moment) and started brightening up a bit, the bad news is that there's now a howling and cold N / NE wind on the coast.
  3. What a miserable day on the NY moors. Despite the forecast of rain heading away south late morning, it continued to rain for most of the day and non-too warm either. Still raining on and off until recently. Can we hope for a drier day tomorrow? I certainly hope so. Edit - one thing that has not been a problem today is the wind, but it seems to be blowing up a bit now, which will not be a bad thing if it blows the main area of rain away..
  4. Back on the NY moors and coast until Thursday. A pleasant enough afternoon, a bit of sunshine, cool despite the lack of wind, but dry which was welcome. Not sure it's going to last that way with rain forecast for tomorrow to move down from the North. Not sure how much we shall see near the coast, hopefully not a lot!
  5. Brightening up here after a cold, cloudy start with spots of rain around. Off to the East coast later and not expecting any brightness there.
  6. A decent day in the end after late morning cloud cleared. Pity that Crewe Alex couldn't produce anything against Wrexham, but when you're playing against a side bankrolled by Hollywood, it's probably not very surprising.
  7. A totally sunny day and a Crewe Alex win this afternoon v Wrexham to confirm their place in their playoffs would do nicely. However, already signs of it clouding over after a gorgeous start and not holding my breath on the Alex.
  8. A nice day forecast for tomorrow, but we shall see. A Crewe win in the big game v Wrexham would make it a really nice day. My neighbour is heading to N W Scotland on Sunday whilst we're heading to the East Coast. Guess who's happier?!
  9. Turned into a quite passable afternoon, dry and bright and no precipitation ... so far.
  10. Depressingly wet last night when Mrs FLT and I had to go out. Very damp this morning but signs of it drying and brightening up, with glimpses of blue sky and a gusty wind. Hopefully it will be dry for the weekend.
  11. Steady rain has set in but at least it didn't affect my funeral visit earlier today.
  12. Times reports that 'cloud seeding' by the authorities may be partly to blame.
  13. Rush2019 yes, strange, we had a bit of rain last night after a dry day. Dry and bright this morning but quite chilly early. I have to attend a funeral later and hope the rain stays away until after the service.
  14. PennineMark other way round with us. Spots of rain early but turned into a nice day from lunchtime onwards.
  15. Bill Bailey the lightning over Penistone, yes I saw that, I think it must have been the national weather forecast at 10.30pm on BBC1
  16. It was dry and sunny at 6.30am, but by 7.30am it was raining again. Nuisance rain in the wind but rain nevertheless and unwelcome if it is a sign of things to come during the day.
  17. Torrential mix of rain and hail at 5.30pm for about 15-20 minutes but then cleared away to leave a nice evening.
  18. Cheshire Freeze I spoke too soon, pouring down now and I'm waiting for some thunder.
  19. Cheshire Freeze very strange, I was returning home in Crewe and could see some really black clouds and precipitation in the distance, but we have had no rain or wind in this part of Crewe so far. Obviously extremely localised and, with black clouds all around, I'm not sure we're going to stay dry.
  20. Chris.R dry here as well, bar a couple of light showers late morning. However, a lot of dark clouds around and actually a bit surprised that we have not caught a hefty downpour so far.
  21. mike57 you seem to be catching the back edge of the low pressure on the East coast, and I'm glad I'm not with you this week. Already brightening up here and signs that it will brighten up with you tomorrow and Thursday.
  22. We seem to have missed the worst of the weather yesterday evening, still bits and pieces of rain in a gusty wind but nothing like further north and east in the Region. A better start today (not saying much), although we had a light shower an hour ago and still partly cloudy. Hopefully the forecast improvement will continue.
  23. Forecast was spot on. Cheshire was a place to be for thunder and lightning early (6am) before it quickly moved away south, with very gusty winds in its place.
  24. Cheshire Freeze me too. 6.15am. I thought it was the bins moving around in the wind but then I saw a flash of lightning and one further rumble of thunder. Forecast was obviously spot on. Brightened up now but a gusty wind and more showers forecast for this part of the Region later.
