Thankfully we have been spared any strong winds, indeed there has been little wind to speak of today, as we have been very close to the centre of the deep low. Conversely it has meant lots and lots of rain, with precipitation becoming slow moving. We had a pulse of very heavy rain in the morning, becoming light late morning, then further heavy bursts through the afternoon, finally coming to an end around 6pm, far too late to salvage anything from the day. 

Low cloud shrouding everything as well, not a day to be out on the fells or just outside in general. A poor end to Summer 2020 in the offing, more rain on Thursday and Friday - slow moving, then a cool but looking like a decent dry sunny fresh weekend ahead at least, not sunbathing weather, it will catch many out - ooh the sun is out it must be warm, we are now in late August, the sun still has oomph in it, but its only as warm as it is in mid April, in the shade and the northerly breeze , layers will be needed, anyone camping take note! Cold nights in the offing as well.

As long the winds are light,it shouldn't feel too bad here in any sunshine and predicted temps of 17/18c.My garden is a sun trap and I have been known to sit out in late Feb/march in the sun when the wind is light.

Storm Francis - Picked up 37.3 mm from the manual gauge at 9 GMT for previous 24hrs.

Aug total so far 194.2 mm.

All on top of June 194.5 mm and July 266.0 mm.

Only 5 wetter August totals since readings started here in 1968, but 2 will soon be beaten if we have some heavy showers.

Heavy rain this morning here with a drier spell before turning very heavy again from mid afternoon.

River levels are pretty high at the moment but it looks like the drier few hours around the middle of the day may have just kept us on the safe side of flooding.

locally though I’d say that today has edged out last weeks storm in the crappiness stakes.

Yes, last weeks storm was windier but was mostly dry, yesterday though was a different story...

Mine is too. Was only 16/17°C on Monday here but felt warm sat outside in the still strong late August sun. As soon as you got into the shade though you felt a chill.

Regionally, wettest August since 2004 and now in top 10 wettest summers on record. 

 

Why are our summers so wet these days? Apart from 2018, every summer has been wet since 2015.

Was a cold and clear night last night with a few fog patches/low cloud but as soon as I woke up it was overcast and has remained overcast all day, there’s also a nasty autumnal chill in the air too thanks to the lack of sunshine. Horrible weather. So annoying when this happens. I suspect there’s been some aircraft spraying going on...

Rain has been threatening to fall all day but now it's trundling up from the south with a slight south easterly push its engaging the Gtr Manchester dome shield.  Not fussed with it being rain, but don't want any of these antics in the winter, with possible snow fall.

One of those odd days, when all around seems to be catching heavy rain, yet here in SE lakeland we have escaped so far, in a small white cloud window. Expect rain will eventually turn up. It was 17 degrees early afternoon, looks like we gave been one of the warm spots but so easily could be languishing outside teen maxes. Tomorrow looks a chilly one for here.

A can't-make-up-its-mind morning here in S Cheshire, and every time I look out of the window, it's doing something different, sun - rain - sun - rain. Frankly depressing.

At least you got some sun, been cloudy and wet here for most of today and yesterday evening was wet as well.

You got lucky, it was chilly and gloomy yesterday with rain from late afternoon onwards.

Sounds horrendous back home next Friday.

Meantime 6th consecutive day of heat and sun and temperatures of 36c and the next seven days look like rinse and repeat would love to settle down and live in greece even the winter can be more severe than the UK maybe not on the Islands but certainly mainland Greece can get a bit nippy.

Lovely sunset this evening after a rather drab gloomy cloud filled day. Weekend should bring lots of late summer sunshine but with a distinct autumnal tinge. Tomorrow night decidedly chilly, would not be surprised to see somewhere such as Shap get down close to freezing.
