Don't believe it. Just checked the birding blogs and found this message from yesterday...

Then time checked it with my message to the OH from when I was walking back to the car from Lytchett bay.

Chance of something drier next week, maybe, after a warm Saturday.

[Mapantz]

[kumquat]

blooming lightning woke me up!!!  

[Dorsetbred]

Torrential downpour cruised through 5mins ago, blowing in sheets of rain up the street.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, one of those showery days as the heavens open again

The overnight low of 8.7°C at: 05:06, has managed to reach 13.6°C at: 10:56 before dropping back a bit, RH84% with a light / strengthening to fresh breeze from the SW.

Morning. I'm in Warwickshire. At what point am I South enough to be let back in? ...

[jtay]

Just the one shower so far, to coincide with a cheese toastie. Back to bright and breezy digging now, as the heavier stuff passes to the West.

When you reach Didcot you'll still be a Northerner in the group, south of Newbury puts you just about far enough south to become a southerner in the group.

By 'eck it's looking damp then wet in the area

 Dorsetbred Im on the A34 10 minutes from home 

[Bobd29]

Welcome back.

[jtay]

Annoying off and on drizzling mess, so binned it off for an afternoon in the greenhouse to get some seeds in. At least it's warm in here.

[Rich_Clements]

 *Stormforce~beka* Did you get a stamp in your passport when you crossed the M4 border? 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 Rich_Clements Does Macdonalds count? ... Otherwise no! LOL. I want one now ...

 Bobd29 Thank you sweetie. So good to be home!!

Welcome back, just in time for a drop of rain and a touch of breeze up the trouser leg!

Just for a change… it’s raining again.

I was quite surprised to get a lightning notification at 3am this morning as I wasn’t expecting anything. Both yesterday and today have been positively un-thundery.

[Saint coolio]

I know it’s difficult to believe, but it’s actually raining!

[Dorsetbred]

What looked to be quite a deluge has turned out to be a dribble, so far 1.7mm of rain from this front, the heavier rain appears to be off to the north. 

[Andy Bown]

3 days in a row where most of the daytime has been the better conditions, admittedly today had several heavy showers though. 
 

The same trend looks likely tomorrow thankfully but several (MORE!) bouts of heavy rain overnight first! 

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 Dorsetbred Just what I need ... lol

[Alderc 2.0]

Have to say I see this weekends setup being pretty unfavourable for us. Certainly not going to see much sunshine and with the breeze whatever the thermometer is reading it won’t feel overly warm.

Nice drop of overnight rain,grass really looking lush
