Sun trying to break through now after overnight rain.

Everything has had a good soaking over the last 2 days so it looks like the lawn will remain uncut.

50mm at Bablake School Coventry since Wednesday:

Well the day turned out ok after a dull start.Plenty of sunny spells from late morning as the skies cleared a bit.

My wife got some washing dried on the line earlier and I actually got the lawn cut this evening-best part of the day.

Temps. 17-19C not too bad where we get the sun out.

T'is be dry outside and here's thy morning sky. (04:45 and 05:10 respectively)

Well, I wasn't expecting to wake up to light rain, this morning. More is to come and the heavier areas of rain to my SE could convect later. Fingers crossed.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Washout Whit week for north west midlands, going to be a shocker today, worse tomorrow, and rain all week

[picog]

Grotty day yesterday — cloudy, dull and showers on and off until late afternoon.

I was hoping for a better day today, but rain is further north and east than I expected, so feeling a little less optimistic.

Abysmal forecasts once again, whatever was forecasted for each day over the weekend, the complete opposite happened.

Here's today's forecast..

Real world, currently sunny and 15.5°C

[Dancerwithwings]

Cloudy & 14c. Right that's the boring bit out of the way.... Tomorrow is certainly looking wet for some http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/forecast/solihull-west-midlands-conurbation#?tab=map

Well its been much dryer than I expected here, cloud built from late morning with only a few spits and spots just starting.

[Dancerwithwings]

PM...I thought i would have rain by now, the wife wanted to put the washing out this morning, and there's me saying " nah! don't bother love, it's going to rain" how stupid do i look

 

Looking at the radar http://www.raintoday.co.uk/mobile it's ever so close!

[William Grimsley]

Very cloudy and muggy today. I experienced 1 10 minute light shower in Starcross but that is all today so far.
