About 5 minutes of a drizzle fest,that in reality did not even wet the ground.

[iand61]

I think the drizzle has officially turned to light rain.

The murk has cleared abit now can see blue sky in the breaks,showers about nothing heavy sun trying to break through

[dodge]

A solitary strike as appeared to hit just north west of Manchester.... wonder who the lucky ones were who witnessed that.  A small cluster now mustering in the Gtr Mcr area after leaving cheshire.

OMG, just had two rumbles of thunder.

Maybe all is not lost after all.

[IanR]

this is the worst year so far for storms in these parts, only one thunder day so far , and that wasn't overhead , back in the day widespread storms meant just that,   if the forecast said isolated you would get something similar to today, with a few select locations getting thunder,  

 

now it seems widespread storms forecast just means you get very isolated ones   , and  isolated means..err nothing anywhere

[iand61]

Damp miserable start with a gradual improvement into what is now a lovely evening.

Then tomorrow sees a descent into what is looking more and more like another weekend washout before something better arrives just in time for the start of the working week.

never mind, I suppose summer 2017 could be worse, it could be a repeat of summer 2012 instead.

[Mokidugway]

Sunny and warmish  in garden not shure about tomorrow was going to take van out for weekend but can t be bothered cos of weather 

[Iceaxecrampon]

Royal Birkdale - The Open.

[Miamay]

Weather here in Liverpool is awful. Heavy rain, dark skies and windy. 

[Chris.R]

 Just moderate rain with no wind here so far, think the main part is reaching me now though. Back home now by the way. 

[Mokidugway]

Was going to take the airstream to Keswick tonight ,but weathers put the kibosh on that 

[Chris.R]

Got torrential for a minute then, dying down again now. Still no wind but I just might be sheltered from that direction.

This wind orientation perfectly shows Manchester's rain shadow. Only light rain here so far while I can see areas around me having heavier bursts. Hopefully when the squal line comes I will get it heavy otherwise I will still need to water the plants tomorrow.

[Jan]

Hammering down here and lots more on the way 

[Mokidugway]

I'm in the Pennines rain shadow , for here that's amazing 

[Jan]

Here we go again, heaviest rain seems to be more to the East of me. TV signal was lost earlier

[cheshire snow]

Belting down,some serious standing water on many roads,causing the idiots

To swerve at last minute (drive to the conditions you morons)
