The sun tried to come out here not long ago. It failed. 

[jtay]

We might be seeing a bit of Sunshine shortly, as it sets into a clear spot out to the West.

More rain, it never ends. Thought it was meant to be drier this week? 

[Andy Bown]

 Alderc 2.0 there were a few model runs on Saturday/Sunday that kept this rain over France and delayed any rain on Thursday until the night - that looks set to arrive by early afternoon now too! 
 

Drier tomorrow, maybe!!! 

[MP-R]

It’s a grim one out there!

[jtay]

Well it's stopped raining. Small mercies and all that.

[Dorsetbred]

RIGHT, so this weeks rain is brought to you care of @jtay who wished this upon the area, when posting:

I've applied some weed and feed to the grass this morning. I'll whisper it quietly, but now need a bit of rain for it to do its thing.

"Too late" we all cried.

Afternoon All, the main rain area has moved past now. The overnight low of 3.4°C at: 00:07 has risen to 11.3°C, RH97% and a light breeze from the SW.

From Above the earlier (12:05) sat shot, shows the back edge of the main rain bearing cloud as it pulls away SE.

 

Over a week away but who knows maybe it'll happen.

 Dorsetbred Just been out to check for you and I can confirm that the dandelions are blackening nicely...

Thanks all. 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

 Alderc 2.0 drier in terms of it raining for 6 days out of the week instead of all 7, lol

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay Awww the poor bumblebees

 

[jtay]

 *Stormforce~beka* Don't worry, there'll be plenty of bee friendly flowers going in, in their place. That's part of what we're trying to do.

A perfectly aligned, unwanted streamer filtering up the Bristol Channel to ensure my location remains wet throughout the afternoon whilst others get the chance to dry out somewhat;

[dr weather]

Another bloody miserable day. Met Office got it wrong again.

[Wynn D Woo]

 AWD  Sorry that'll be my fault, I have got football after work in Stoke Gifford...

[Rich_Clements]

 Dorsetbred Thats funny!

[jy]

I'm working on its proper name but I've got a pink spiked flower,it's perennial,and attracts more bees than the cast of Zulu can't put it in tea gardens ect as the bees go after the cream teas lol

 

[AWD]

Grey, dull & dreary again.  One addition this morning though, it’s blowing a hoolie out there!

[Andy Bown]

Add drizzle to that. The one chance of a dry day gone before 07.00! 

[Alderc 2.0]

The dryness didn’t last long, drenched with fine drizzle out walking. Feels cold too in the wind.
