luckily missed the heavy rain today, seemed very wet around Stockport area, luckily winds too westerly for rain here

Was in b&q near denton and it really chucked it down at lunchtime..... Couldnt hear people talking in store it was that heavy.... Then again after i came out the doctors in glossop....torrential.... Ground is really saturated up here this past week....

[picog]

Frost here last night (-0.3C), first of the season, and very welcome too!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

No frost here, and not looking forward to Friday's complete washout

I would'nt worry so much about Friday its Saturday that looks more interesting

10 C here, 10 mph from S, no rain in last 24 hr and 1018 mb. gfs also showing something brewing for next Tuesday ?

Managed to dip down to 1.9c last night here, fair amount of cloud moved in shortly after sunrise but some sunny spells now and 10c.

Same here as well, a low of 1.9c just before half past six this morning.

 

Gorgeous wall-to-wall sunshine so far today.

Down to 0.4C in Shawbury this morning too, first frosts of the season for some, even at this pretty late stage.

Wow, looks like the West of the region had a chilly night. I recorded a balmy +3c in Rugby

[davehsug]

First ground frost of the season in Stoke. Car scrapage this morning. Not pleased.

[conor123]

Tomorrow looks rather gusty, could well be some gale force gusts, miserable damp day today though the heavy stuff is staying further north thus far.

............and I've booked the TV Aerial man to pay me a visit tomorrow afternoon! 

 

I guess if it gets too windy he'll just have to cancel & come back another day.

Rain rain rain.....low clouds and coolish.... Oh well off to comedy store in manchester tonight.... So at least will be indoors

[conor123]

Looks like heaviest stuff is yet to push through though, hardly a barnstormer today lol.

Worst of it should stay north from the looks of things, here's hoping we at least one exciting weather event this month, August-October has definitely been one of the most none descript periods of weather I can remember.

[Bishop Brennan]

Very dark & overcast here for much of the day, but not much in terms of rain so far..........everything seems further north and west than was initially forecast.

Steady rain since lunchtime here. Unpleasant taking the dog out — no rabbits, foxes or squirrels out and about, so not very thrilling for her either (she chases, but is too scared to catch them)

[Bishop Brennan]

Okay, now it's raining - really hard, and seemingly set for the night judging by the radar.

Any chance of a dry day on the horizon, ie no rain from 0000 to 2359? Even the bright spell this week couldnt manage it, the last one must have been nearly a month ago

[Benny123]

Finally looks like that horizontal front is clearing. River levels have been on the rise again this evening.. lots more rain in the forecast too!

[Summer of 95]

Stopped raining after nigh on 18 hours non stop. And it hasnt cleared, its gone foggy!

[Polar Maritime]

Hopefully the Peak District will see some severe gales later...

 

Winds will strengthen significantly through the day, reaching gale-force from mid-afternoon.  http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/mountain-forecasts/peak-district#?tab=mountainWarnings

[I remember Atlantic 252]

gales suck! cannot see any excitement at all, at just trees blowing, leaves and litter blowing around, bring on the winter cold, and if not let's have it settled

My... You have certainly made "Severe Gales" sound depressing there 

 

No litter round here anyway thank god.

 

Let's get Autumn out the way first, one step at a time !

hopefully GFS 00Z FI is correct, high pressure in charge, have noticed it on other runs as well. but just seems so unlikely to have high pressure mid Nov

[Laurie61]

Gusting to 40+ mph, pressure down to 988.7 mb and 13.3 C, 7mm rain in the last 24hrs. 

[conor123]

Had a very brief squall just before lunchtime, sunny spells at the moment but very gusty winds all afternoon thus far, several over 40 mph, the leaves are flying off the trees now.
