I'm hoping too but having just looked at the rainfall radar that line of storms doesn't appear to be moving much at all.

It looks like a line of convergence with showers/storms forming and dissipating along its' length without much movement east or west.

Thick fog this morning whilst driving through the Cotswolds, most unusual in August at 8 am, felt more like November.

[Snowyowl9]

Gone really dark here black clouds are incoming,heavy showers west getting part of it as it slides SE,getting all the low black overhang over us.

[Snowshine]

Horrible day, with persistent light rain and temperatures barely above 15C!

[Polar Maritime]

Moderate rain just started here now.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

lucky to avoid the rain all today, now got an east/west split over me, settled skies to the west and unsettled skies to the east, wind coming from NW now so, should be clear cold night

[Polar Maritime]

A clear start after a low of 9.6c, But cloud soon rolled in giving overcast but dry conditions with an F3 gentle breeze currently Avg 11.8mph W/S/W. Temp 16.1c

Lord have mercy really are being punished for Saturday aren't we, 14.2c and absolutely belting it down, atrocious. 

[Eugene]

I'm tired of these seemingly endless southwesterlies bringing grey overcast weather, hopefully autumn will see more Northerlies and clear HP, it has to end sometime and we're coming to the right time for that.

Very Autumnal out there here, Hills shrouded in dense cloud with persistent moderate rain, Temp 12.9c.

I was thinking the same myself, P.M. 

It looks like being the 8th consecutive cloudy August in this area with just 78.3 hrs of sunshine so far this month. The last sunnier than average August was in 2007 believe it or not.

You needed a boat on the M6 at 6am not a car. A tremendous early Autumn storm.

It's not autumn. But if it pleases and comforts the minds of the winter lovers it can only be good!

The best time of year September to April is almost upon us.

[Snowshine]

Torrential downpour here which lasted about two minutes. Will have drenched everyone stuck outside for sure.

I find September the least interesting month of the year.

Summer to me the most interesting time of year now maybe I`m changing with age.

Excluding this summer though lol.

Onto today though which was above average for interest with some heavy showers earlier,makes the rest of the summer look pretty poor on average for convective showers and sun.
