Morning all.  Not quite 6am and it's 14,2°C.  Can hear the wind gusting outside, 996mb and falling.  Sunrise in half an hour, it's not raining   🌬

Edit, Man Airport just tipped 15°C at 6.05am.  Going to feel quite warm today in any sun.

Currently 16.2C in south Manchester and a gentle breeze - very pleasant. Sun trying to appear from behind the light cloud cover.  Out with the dog at 7am with a  t shirt and shorts. Expecting 18/19C before slightly cooler air arrives around mid-day.

Warm and windy this morning, as forecast, but little sign of any sun at the moment which would certainly raise the temperatures even further.

Where is this storm? No wind here so far, all quite odd. Its dry, rather cloudy. Current temp 13.5 degrees. Temps unusually set to peak by noon, not expecting it to feel particularly warm, a high possibly 15 degrees, nothing at all special for early April. Chance of showers..

[Rush2019]

Breached 16°C here, the cloud is muting any sunshine though.  Really pleasant out, there's some fantastic Magnolia trees about in bloom.  Messy when they shed though.

[Scuba steve]

15.5 c here ,dry with light winds  ,in fact quite pleasant out 

[Rush2019]

So, the UK has hit 20°C currently,  need some sunshine here to boost the NW first 20°C.

Blustery and sunny, it didn't make 19°C here, maxed at 17.5°C.  Rostherne 16.7°C.  Saw a number of bees buzzing about today, the first for me this year.  This bee was one of the biggest I've ever seen.

[Had Worse]

Radar looks primed.

Some pretty heavy rain heading for our region.

[Scuba steve]

Yep leading edge has made for a stunning sunset 

[Rush2019]

 Had Worse Yes, it looks a bit grim.  It's just knocking on Maccs doors as I  type, it will feel squally in these gusts.  

[Scuba steve]

 Rush2019 we’re getting spots of rain now

[Cheshire Freeze]

This rain is really heavy. The airmass is holding a lot of moisture.

[severe snowstorm]

The temperature reached 17.7C here this afternoon, a mix of cloud and sunny breaks for most of the day, but I think the weather gods have decided we must be missing the rain already as it's been lashing down for the past hour or so.

[Had Worse]

The rain has arrived.

Cant complain. We got a dry day.

Yes, heavy rain here now, I know we are only 6 days into April but the month has not produced a single dry day here for me yet.

[Joe Snow]

Wow this rain heavy-torrential in bursts and squally too. Today was an odd feeling day warmish some brightness but often had a cloudy threatening aura about it what with the strong winds tempered any real spring like feel. 

[Rush2019]

Ooh my days, what a torrential downpour, road has become a river, folks are at their windows staring out.  I haven't known heavy rain to set car alarms off before but 3 have been set off.  Wow.
