From this To this in 65 minutes And yet not a drop of rain has fallen here!

Tuesday looking likely for that

Morning All, an overcast one today, after an overnight low of 6.6°C at: 02:12, currently 9.3°C, RH92% and light air movement from the SE. From Above On Golden sands, a few dogs taking their owners for a walk.

The forward forecast "suggests" you might see some light sprinkles around !9:30

Yes it does look as though the ECM was better than the GFS at predicting how far east the rainfall might be.

*Stormforce~beka* Have a read of the enclosed: Lavender Care - Downderry Nursery DOWNDERRY-NURSERY.CO.UK Lavender plant care including pruning advice. Its also worth looking at a high potash feeder, something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chempak-High-Potash-Fertiliser-Formula/dp/B00K6GWJCK/ref=sr_1_6?sr=8-6 To hopefully bring it on, make sure it's not going to get too much water in the the mean time. @jtay please feel free to shut me up if I am providing anything wrong in trying to resuscitate the sad looking lavender.

That's looking very much like a miss:

Crikey they'll be lucky, the local small hotels are either burning down or being knocked down. The B.I.C would make a good Polar bear home, right next to the Aquarium and the penguins!

OH NO, you mean it's not true PS Mrs Miggins tearoom closed in Hexham earlier this year, Harry Ramsdens or WestBeach are as near the Pier that you might be brave enough to venture in to!

Morning All, an overcast and damp start with the main event of rain having just reached us now. The overnight low of 6.1°C at: 01:35 has risen to 9.1°C, RH89% with a light breeze from the SE. From Above On Golden sands, looking dark out over the channel

Pick a LOW any LOW, as there's plenty to choose from:

Afternoon All, a bright sunny morning, with a brisk easterly, with the overnight low of 2.4°C at: 06:45 having risen to 10.0°C , with the RH71% suggesting some drying out after the rain, in readiness for the next load. From Above On Golden sands the hazy cloud shown on the radar clearly visible

*Stormforce~beka* Anything you can break, like plant pots (not plastic) , plates, cups, bricks, you name it, I suspect you might have a better chance if you put it in a pot, given that we are due to see more rain over the next 5 days or so. A friendly garden centre might have some broken pots, you only need a little if you put it in a pot to try and bring it on.

Do a quick test, select a twig of lavender bend it, if it breaks then could well be dead, but if it bends and doesn't snap there's a fair chance it's slow in getting its act together. Lavender is quite hardy temperature wise, so I'd not really think the cold has killed , more like the excess of rain. JTAY has given you the good info.

Morning All, bit of a change this morning as the cloud movement is from the east. After a misty night the overnight low of 3.0°C at: 06:45 has climbed to 9.4°C, RH82% and a light freshening breeze from the east with patchy cloud coming in off the channel. From Above On Golden sands

Morning All, a crackin' morning, decent frost and clear blue sky, which now has convective Cu forming. The overnight low of -0.9°C at: 06:43, has risen to 10.9°C, The temperature and sunshine graph show the strength of the sun with a parallel marked increase in temperature below: From Above On Golden sands

@*Stormforce~beka*

Might be worth wearing this to pub if its ru**erists night out!

Good job your pub visit is Thursday as the suggestion is this is lining up for Friday Oh and Saturday Lets not forget Sunday Tiz over a week away but look, not a drop of rain!

Bristawl Si Andy Bown MP-R Ok NOW I seriously get the feeling you Northerners are rubbing this in!!

The last remnant remains but I can see some thinner cloud to the NW It has now stopped raining here.

Morning All, anybody notice that Spring still wants to follow the wet winter, with today's rainfall that is 4 out 5 days with measurable rain? Daily rain totals 11.3 mm on day 1 11.8 mm on day 2 09.9 mm on day 4 With today adding to this. Yesterdays Met Office video did suggest this happening, as shown here, whilst commented it might be heavy showers, they did highlight it, getting the position of it possibly too far south: However, the same was stated on todays video, which almost suggests they didn't review the updated scenario, as they still stating "heavy showers", this is continual rain, not showers, so got to give them a black mark for not updating their forecast for today. This radar shot doesn't suggest showers, that plain old rainfall: Moving on, the overnight low of 3.7°C at: 01:00 has managed to haul itself up to 5.8°C, RH97% and a light breeze from the N. From Above, the coastal rainfall showing nicely. On Golden sands, wet suit weather..

Certainly is chucking it down, the dogs went outside and tiptoed around in the puddles.
