Where did our lovely warm humid weather go? It's cloudy...rain on and off, with a noticeably chilly N/NE breeze.

Don't like this one bit.

It should come back in later with the showers if we get a S wind.

So much for sunshine and showers ; dull, misty, chilly ESE wind, persistent rain/drizzle, not even a hint of brightness yet, 10.8c!

[Mapantz]

Wow, what a foul day! 12°C and wet, it's also blowing a hooley. 30.4mm fell yesterday, a further 4.4mm so far today.

[Gibby]

Not good here in NE Somerset too with thick cloud, no brightness, a cool ESE wind and nearly 10mm of rain today so far. Just 11C currently. Hardly surprising being that posters in the North and West of the thread zone report NNE winds, NW over Cornwall while here it's an ESE wind. I think the centre of Low pressure is making it's home over Devon currently.

Not very pleasant out today, cool breezy and wet.

 

Glad my planned camping trip for the weekend fell through at the moment that for sure.

[MP-R]

Of course it would be typical that the day none of the showers are electrically active, they all pummel into Bristol. Doesn't look like a nice day at all over in the West Country today!

[Bobby]

Feels like October out there - grey, damp, and misty only with winds coming from the E/SE. 9mm overnight after 13mm yesterday.

Plenty more rain to come over next few days for many.

 

[Mapantz]

Showers are practically developing above my location, keep getting short, sharp bursts of rain, such a miserable day!

[Summer of 95]

Vile here as well, on/off light rain all morning just got heavier. No thunder or warmth, just autumnal gunk. Only 11C and feels very unlike late May.

[conor123]

Ahh the bog standard washout Bank Holiday weekend begins, shot myself in the foot the other day by saying it was improving towards and sunshine and scattered showers scenario, now looks dire the entire the weekend here.

[Snowyowl9]

Coolest day of the week with rain on and off chilly east wind max 12.4c

[Carl46Wrexham]

Sunshine and showers? Pretty poor call if that was the forecast. It's been a rank rotten dark day reminiscent of October. Persistent cloud, rain of varying intensity on and off, and a wind that is shall we say noticeable for its coolness.

Seeing that places are struggling with temperatures between 7 and 9 degrees was a bit of an eye opener!

Well it has pretty much rained all day today. Rainfall total up to 28mm including the 10mm we had yesterday. Just wet and dark here, really. Now have got hill fog rolling in and the temp is 10.0^oC with a light breeze.

[phil nw.]

Mainly cloudy,breezy and quite dull here today and feeling cool.just a brief bit of sun mid-morning.

Now heavy rain has set in.

Some bright echoes on the nw radar across a wide area of our region now.

 

bands of showery rain swirling around the low currently centred over Wales.

Not a day for outdoor socialising tomorrow either by the looks it.

 

 

rain quite widespread over the country with that low stationary.

Sunday does look a lot better though as the low starts to fill and the showers die away.Hopefully some sunshine to finish the weekend.

[Barbmac]

Bucketing down here, has been for the past hour, rain's become very heavy.

The organisers of the Devon County Show have cancelled the event for tomorrow because of the state of the car parks.

The car parks were closed this afternoon because weather had turned them to swamps.
