"Upgrades" for next weekend ...emmm, sounds good to me, but in the mean time, plenty of showers kicking off!  http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile 

I've got my eye on that BIG one in South Wales atm, hopefully heading my way   Currently, Cloudy, but with glimpses of brightness,13.7c.

I really don't know why I bother with the MO app, mind you, yesterday's TV forecasts were wrong again!

Heavy rain was supposed to be on and off all day according to them. All we had was a few hours of rain during the early hours, it has been dry since 7:30am and now there's some sunny spells, the app now says dry all day, maybe a few light showers. It really has been poor during the last few months when rain has been forecasted, you cannot plan anything as it completely changes while you're asleep.

Currently sunny spells and 14.2℃

I have a perimiter around my house, now rain, no storms and no nothing allowed within 200 meters of my house. I have soooo much washing to get dried lol

On that note, sun is shining and quite breezy so its working lol

Looks like May could end up a pretty wet month for many areas; 33mm here to date so getting towards half the average for a full May (77mm). Plenty more unsettled weather on the way after our high next week it would seem!

The showers in Wales are not hanging around, they are reaching us quite quickly here in the Midlands on a strong SW wind, No thunderyness to report of, as yet !

[Bishop Brennan]

Think its the wrap around trough we are getting DWW guaranteed to merge the showers over us!

[Dancerwithwings]

Between what yourself and Bish is saying.... Strong winds and heavy rain to look forward to... Oh well thank god! Eurovision is on NOT !!!

[I remember Atlantic 252]

like Autumn in the north east of this region, looks like a few sunnyish days coming up Wed to Fri, then back to normal UK weather

[TonyH]

NW surely? Or perhaps you mean of the amalgamated regions..

A thoroughly wet, cool and windy afternoon! 10c still, at least it managed 12.8c in the sunny intervals this morning.

[William Grimsley]

Very strong winds with wind gusts of nearly 40 mph, here. I bet a few trees are down in the area.

[Mapantz]

Not too bad in the sun, windy but dry, and a pleasant 15℃

[Bobby]

Very strong winds now, howling like crazy out there.

[Dancerwithwings]

Not as bad here as i thought it would be, in thinking i had heavy rain to look forward to earlier, so far it hasn't happened, just the odd shower now and again, but that in its self lasts all but two mins then back to sunshine .... All that rain on the radar over Wales seems to fizzle out before it even reaches the West Midlands... Still a very blustery day though!

Temps......13.5c

Wind not been such a feature here, max gust just 32mph so far. Rain has stopped! 13mm since midnight. Very chilly 11c.

[Terminal Moraine]

One heavy shower here at 1200 g.m.t but all the rest, though frequent, have been brief and light.

[andymusic]

very windy here - mumbles showing gusts of over 60mph

[MP-R]

Maximum gust of 48mph so far in Yatton, North Somerset. Highest gust since 2nd March.

[ANYWEATHER]

35mph gust here, which is very windy for May....Feeling more like Autumn than late spring, the only give-away is the lighter nights. Must have been an atrocious day for our Welsh friends , especially mid-Wales lots of rain and sheep weather for you guys!
