Looks like a squall line (or convergence) is developing - intense rain in Birchwood for the last 5 minutes and it looks extremely heavy over Preston towards Leeds.

It started raining at approx 11am, light and patchy at first but progressively heavier and has been very heavy for the last hour or so.

Temp is currently 14.4c. A depressing day that was not forecast just 24hrs ago by the UKMO. How do they get away with it?
