    Hope you Southerners enjoyed your sun day! Us "northerners" had rain all bloody day. I can't escape it!!!!!

    Thanks @*Stormforce~beka* it was a cracking day. 

    This morning starting off damp after the overnight rain, with the low of 6.8°C at: 07:08, currently 9.9°C, RH92% and a light breeze in from the WSW, with a few clouds at an altitude of 1,700 ft.

    From Above, the next inbound front showing clearly, with a few deeply embedded cells over the SW approaches

    Morning All, the morning kick off with 100% wall to wall blue skies, which have since downgraded with a few towering cumulus at an altitude of 1,500 ft and scattered clouds at an altitude of 2,000 ft. Seems as though the showers are already firing up inland (around Salisbury) and a nice bow over the Devon / Dorset border adding more rain to those that received it yesterday.

    A waste of a good day. Spent it trekking up the M

    Ah now the M6 has some real delights.

    Rugby    M6 at J1    
    Corley    SMARTM6 between J3 and J3A    
    Hilton Park    M6 between J10A and J11       
    Stafford (South)    SMARTM6 southbound between J14 and J15
    Stafford (North)    SMARTM6 northbound between J14 and J15    
    Keele    M6 between J15 and J16    Welcome Break    
    Sandbach    SMARTM6 between J16 and J17    Roadchef    
    Lymm truckstop    M6 at J20 and M56 at J9    Moto    
    Charnock Richard    M6 between J27 and J28    
    Lancaster    M6 between J32 and J33    Moto

    Southwaite    M6 between J41 and J42    Moto    4 stars    
    Todhlsil    M6 between J44 and J45        4 stars

    Out of ALL of this lot I love TEBAY, Close to the summit (I might have blasted over in the the middle of the night, OFTEN), but a cracking shop for local produce, I loved it as a stopping off point. I also knew with that tank full I'd make Edinburgh easily. I also managed to fill up at Tebay, to get back in the car and unknowingly had a wasp to my shirt, sat in the car and felt an amazing "ouch" moment. So I suffered for the 4 days I was in Edinburgh with a wasp sting. 

    Never to be forgotten!

    ☀️CLEAR BLUE SKY ☀️

    Andy make the most of it, it looks unlikely to last long:

    Met Office Outlook

    Wednesday 3 Apr - Friday 12 Apr

    The ongoing unsettled spell of weather seems likely to continue through the first few weeks of April. Initially, the heaviest and most frequent spells of rain and showers are likely to be across southern parts of the UK. Often windy, especially in the south and west. 

    Saturday 13 Apr - Saturday 27 Apr

    Through mid to late April, there is no strong signal for any one particular weather pattern to dominate over another. As such, further rain and showers are likely at times, but there is also a reasonable chance of some drier and sunnier spells of weather. 

    So wellies and waders to the fore, for a while longer!

    Morning All, as noted a fine BLUE sky earlier this morning, now filling with some spring like Cu. The overnight clear sky allowed the temperature to drop to 3.7°C at: 06:37, currently 13.3°C, RH72% and a light breeze from the SW with scattered clouds at an altitude of 1,800 ft.

    From Above, the bands of showers over Devon and Cornwall showing nicely.

    On Golden sands, looking a little busier today.

    Gusting 69mph as suggested in the Met Office forecast.

    Lots of broken branches down in the area, and one place I went in to had to manually operate the sliding doors to prevent the wind causing damage.

    Not a lot of beach left:
