raining before I could get changed and get the lawn mower out.

never mind there’s always tomorrow.

Warmest day of year so far, 18.6 degrees. Hello the wonderful month of May. 

[Scuba steve]

Seem to have gone warmer under clouds probably increasing humidity 

[Cheshire Freeze]

An absolute torrential downpour went through here an hour or so ago. Very localised according to radar.

Spontaneous excursion out. 

Bowness. 

Usually always have given the town a massive swerve for obvious reasons. But was pleasantly manageable. 
Sun finally gave way to overcastness.
 

Some interesting formations building up N.

What a lovely day it was today and I didn't wear my anorak

[Had Worse]

Morning All.

Massive gusts of wind shaking the house. Checked Man Airport for wind strength and its only 8 knots!

Its dry and partly cloudy so ill cut the grass today and let the cuttings get blown away. 

[Chris.R]

Going to have to move down south

[Had Worse]

 Chris.R looking at your emoji, id take it that you need to move down South to see tish thunderstorms or tish and thunderstorms.

[Had Worse]

Don't think the video does justice to how windy it is.

[A Face like Thunder]

A heavy shower at the end of a generally pleasant day yesterday. There seems to have been a bit of rain overnight, judging by our garden furniture, but a dry, bright start to the day and quite warm again, with little or no wind to speak of.

wind buffeting the house since the early hours… very strong must be gusting 40-50mph… need to go and refix a fence panel…. 
netweather has us down for 45-52 mph gusts until 5-6pm… wind burn as well as sun burn

Morning.  Been calm here, just a slight breeze.  Min temp last night was a mild 11°C.  It's quite overcast currently, need the sun to boost temps towards the 20 mark.  Some dark cloud to the south.  Airport Taf has showers mid pm.  Some beautiful shades of colour in the sky pre sunrise.

[Rush2019]

Sun doing it's best to burn through milky sky here.  Rostherne max yesterday was 20.4°C.

[Rush2019]

 Chris.R   Met Office thunderstorm warning further north today, but not far enough.  Some CAPE available around the Welsh English border. (UKV).  May produce a surprise?  Radar watch and radio on later.

[Chris.R]

 Rush2019 i'm not feeling it but we'll see.

[Dark Horse]

Sun out so decided to go out in a sleeveless vest top but regret it as that wind is pretty chilly . Whether it warms up more later remains to be seen.

[Chris.R]

Out here with no t-shirt... strong sun, 18.9°C.

[Cheshire Freeze]

Just about scraped into the yellow warning area here. Doubtful of seeing anything however.

Edited May 2 by Cheshire Freeze

[Chris.R]

Nearly 800J CAPE around Chester later that's quite respectable.

[WillinGlossop]

Just resecured fence panels along footpath with corks… feels like a hairdryer out there… warm, humid and still gusting 40-50mph… 

[A Face like Thunder]

 Cheshire Freeze certainly doesn't look like it at the moment, with the sun out and feeling pleasantly warm in a gentle breeze. However, I had the same thought yesterday and we ended up with a heavy shower late afternoon, so we may not be completely out of it yet.

[Chris.R]

almost unbroken sunshine, 22.2°C

[alr1970]

21C at MAN, woohoo! Had my first outdoor lunch of the year, sat under the outbound flightpath. Lovely.
