North West Regional Discussion 3 June 2020 onwards

[Frost HoIIow]

What a shocking day. Looking forward to the potential dry weather next week....hopefully it doesn't downgrade! 

[Thunder Snow]

Heavy rain started again but river remain very low, just depends whats happening in the hills

[Thunder Snow]

Rain has completely stopped

[damianslaw]

Woeful day as expected, one of those dark days before Christmas type days. Its depressingly dark outside has been all day really. Miserable! Can we not fast forward the clock 6 months please.

Don't mind these days at all....! the best season - character building 4 mile walk this morning with the Terriers.

Relaxing in the outhouse with the Oil Radiator and watching the rain (horizontal) sweeping across the fields.

Maybe a (near) festive frost or two?

Mmm it depends, sometimes can take them but not always. Its pitch black now. Its knowing we have a good 3 months before light levels return which make the adjustment difficult. By December you get used to it, and have festive lights to brighten things up.

[Thunder Snow]

Rain has completely stopped now, hopefully without causing the rivers to rise to much

Well today’s been a bit on the damp side.

On the plus side at least it stopped that wind blowing the dust about.

Aye me too, Corona will start to ease around April time, before the 3rd wave arrives worse than ever next Oct

[Thunder Snow]

Rain heavy again with some gusty winds

[A Face like Thunder]

As forecast, rain today in S Cheshire has been a nuisance rather than heavy. Tomorrow's forecast here looks a bit better before going downhill again over the weekend. 

 

[Thunder Snow]

Very heavy rain gusty 

[Thunder Snow]

Flood alerts issued in carlisle 

[A Face like Thunder]

Sorry to hear that Thunder Snow, we can do without this in the present circumstances. A large number of flood alerts issued including a red alert at Keswick campsite. I am keeping my fingers crossed for those who may be affected by the alerts.

[Thunder Snow]

Bright and dry today, a welcome rest bite before this evenings and weekends rain

Good to hear Thunder Snow, wish it was the same here in the south of the region!

A bit of an improvement today from yesterday but TBH after yesterday’s monsoon, anything would seem better.

it certainly wasn’t dry around these parts though’ more a case of being less wet but at least it gave time for river levels to fall back a bit again and give those in more flood prone areas a bit of a breather before tomorrow’s and Sundays rain starts to pile up again.

[Rain Lady]

Western Cumbrian Fells had big rainfall yesterday also.  Atlantic weather in full spate.  But someone has to volunteer to face the onslaught and protect the rainshadows. 

 

 

[Had Worse]

Getting extremely windy here. Roof creaking and gust sounds like a sharp intake of breath.

[Rush2019]

Venturing out within the next half hour to shop for my vulnerables, not poked my head out the door yet, but I can hear the wind gusting down my extractor fan.

I haven't got one of those but the wife has!

[Chris.R]

Not rained at all yet today and doesn’t look like it’s going to be too bad now apart from the wind. At least it will be dry and clear by this evening.

[alr1970]

A decent breeze here. The first band of rain blew through in ten minutes though, I was expecting a bit more. There's a second band on the radar, but it looks a little less intense.
