Can't make up it's mind in Ramsbottom.

Light rain in Bury

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

 Dark Horse  Sorry to hear this. RIP

 Iceaxecrampon  Yep. That's what I'm thinking, or the brown cow at Burrs.

This first week of May often seems to have a warm spell or plume. I can remember countless years when it has happened. I always think of it as the first heat/thunder chance of the year.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

I'm going to the ELR tomorrow as it's the only day I can so hopefully it's not going to be too bad or I'll have to hide in a pub lol.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Minimum of just 3.3°C here and it was above 5°C until 4 am. Not quite as cold as I expected.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Remember in winter showers have to survive all the way from the north Sea as they don't develop over land but now they are developing over land instead so can start much closer to us.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Minimum of 0.9°C here.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Big area of showers over home moving south towards Warrington. I'm out in Liverpool atm and see the dark clouds missing me to the east.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Big shower coming

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Except a brief sunny interval at midday it's been cloudy with rain on and off. I saw that little feature early this morning predicted but God knows where all this came from.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

A bit of rain recently 0.4 mm from another little feature that WRF picked up well.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Not a bad day but a lot of cloud still. Sunny intervals  rather at a premium again especially this afternoon.

Max 11.7°C.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

0.6 mm rain over night from a little feature in the early hours. WRF had been showing that for awhile. It's done well this year with the mesoscale.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Probably more cloud than sun here in the end; Especially this afternoon when sun has been at a premium. A cold wind has sprung up again. Not brilliant but okay.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

One word... YUCK!

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

It was nice at home but horrible out in Manchester town centre now.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

A dry day with occasional sunny intervals. Better than I expected.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Not a bad day. Dry with occasional sunny intervals, around 11–12°C.
been in the garden putting a new canopy on the gazebo and bolting it down after it went for a walk last week.

football later, hopefully we can see some improvement after that embarrassing European exit on Thursday night. No goals in open play for 6 or so hours is not acceptable.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Dry for 36 hours now. I had  forgotten how nice it is to not have everything soaking wet and only just a bit damp

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

A nice day with frequent sunny intervals. NW wind is still there but much lighter. Dry.

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

A light shower in the middle of the day giving 0.1 mm otherwise dry with sunny intervals

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

BTW 127.7 mm for the month (that's gone up a lot since I last checked), 401 mm for the year!

[Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Sun's been out for ages here. Been dry for ages as well but there's obviously been some rain today as I've recorded 0.4 mm but I'm not sure when it was.
