I almost booked today off as holiday as it was meant to be a sunny day here in the Midlands. Even this mornings' R4 forecast at 7:57 said just a few light showers around Manchester which should soon die out! Conditions this morning (till 2pm) have been showery (some heavy though short lived) with a sunny intervals. Current situation is broken cloud with heavy cloud to south and west... more showers looming I think.
