I noticed how much warmer it felt out there when I went outside a few minutes ago compared to how it felt earlier. 17.7°C which is the high for today. Ended up with 17.0mm of rain. 

[Frosty hollows]

Noticed the same @matt111 Quite steamy post rain.  All 20.2cm. 12c at 3pm, now 17c. Weird!

Just wondering but is Greenland always as cold as this at this time of year, just seems unusual to me that's all.

Not sure but it' still average here, and expected to warm up as the week progresses, currently 19.5°C  and feels quite reasonable right now.

17.1c here and light cloud

[Leon1]

Showers that I'm sure just convected out of nowhere have started light rain over Bath and south-west towards France.

Probably along an upper Warm Front which was shown on Fax Charts but was not forecast to produce anything other than scattered or sporadic showers in the Central Southern areas.

However there is far more rain showing further West than any forecast I've seen.

I would expect a lot of it to be falling from mid-high level cloud and to be evaporating before reaching the ground. If it was light there would be some pretty cool cloudscapes.

[Frosty hollows]

Where did all this rain come from?

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All an overcast start after some patchy rain overnight, with the rain moving away eastwards fairly quickly and a dying front from the NW making it's way toward us. Overnight low of 13.1°C at: 06:26 has only marginally increased over the couple of hours.

We got mostly light drizzle with a few heavier bursts amounting to 2.2mm

[Mapantz]

Sunny and 19.2°C

[Super_Uwe]

Turning into a nice warm afternoon, certainly the warmest it's felt for a while with less of a keen breeze.

Some pretty heavy showers out towards Newton Abbot way, I can see the dark skies in the distance from here.

[jtay]

It's been lovely and warm since 3ish, but clouding over. The met now has the heavy shower symbol for 5pm. We'll see.

[CheesepuffScott]

Sun has been peeking in and out over the past 2 hours or so, nice and warm.

[matt111]

Mostly cloudy all day but a brief sunny period earlier which made it feel warm for a time. Reached 20.9°C.

Same here.

Dodged the rain so far from this lonesome shower. Didn't get wet on our walk. It's gone pretty dark though and I can see rain failing over Cranborne Chase way.

Yeah, it looks darker over your way @CheesepuffScott

[matt111]

Also looks dark near here. 

[matt111]

I thought that shower was going to miss here but no it didn’t, very heavy rain here at the moment.
