Rain came down very heavy around 9.00am in Birmingham. Got on train to head north and hit sunshine not long out of Birmingham and then saw some wonderful cumulonimbus with heavy showers on my travel to Durham. The train I was on was terminating at Newcastle as all trains were cancelled from Newcastle northwards.
Still very windy out there now.
Have noticed that the TV weather has been given a revamp, it started yesterday. Sort of a mix between BBC and Sky News; seems to be a common trend to follow a similar style of map now. At least this weather map is green.
