Squally day here, mostly dry but you don't want to stray too far from cover today given how heavy the showers are when they do appear.
-
Gloomy start to the day ... (Have I posted this before?)

Gloomy start to the day...

Broken sunshine here through the morning but nothing to get too excited about. The cloud is gradually winning the battle.

*Stormforce~beka* I was just in and out for a skin cancer operation. Sounds serious but isn't really. Just the type that can't spread. I grew up in the Channel Islands and got way too much sun as a kid. So I've been having various ops like this since around 2007. Most have been preventative (i.e. just removing suspicious moles) but a small amount were actual cancers. Advice to younger people on here: use sun screen!

jtay Yes, Blaise Castle is a hidden gem.
-
jtay Was just up the road from you but missed all the sun as was stuck in Southmead Hospital all afternoon!
-
And ... back to the gloom.
-
Nice to get some sun today, almost unbroken from lunchtime through to this evening. Would have been even nicer without the nagging wind but you can't have everything!
-
Another bloody miserable day. Met Office got it wrong again.
-
Just back from the west of Ireland, had 4 consecutive days without any rain. I don't think I've ever experienced that before over there! Another day and it would probably have been classified as a regional drought.
-
Yes ... some sun. Garden is full of flies already.
-
Raining again. What a surprise.
-
Miserable day again. The Met Office promised a bit of sun but it never happened.
-
Today can officially be filed under 'miserable' (with upper case 'M')
-
Dorsetbred Not sure, can't see as I have paint all over my glasses.
-
MP-R It's brightened up here. Not sure when, I've only just emerged from a freshly painted bathroom!
-
MP-R I anticipated the Met Office's balls-up so arranged to paint the bathroom. If they'd said it was going to rain I would have arranged a day out.

Could have done with an ark yesterday, the road between the A38 and Frampton Cotterell was so flooded I had to do a U turn. Normally I'll chance a big puddle but this looked like it was 18" to 2' deep. Not seen flooded roads and fields like this in a good while. At least the sun peeped out occasionally.
-
Dorsetbred Interesting that TORRO used the phrase 'Tornado Warning', which of course means something different in the US, viz. there's either a tornado which has been visually ID'd by a trained spotter or there is radar indicated mesocyclonic rotation that looks like it might spawn a tornado. I guess most people over here would be a bit non-plussed if TORRO issued a 'Tornado Watch' ...

Temperature is now down about 6 degrees from this morning. Brrr.
-
Very heavy rain burst here at around 7ish, just in time to catch our bin-men.
-
Miserable weather today. So bad I'm having second thoughts even about working in the garage!
-
MP-R Definitely milder today than it was yesterday. Even found a ladybird inside this afternoon.
-
MP-R My car is fairly predictable out of the sun, it usually registers about 0.5-1.0 degree above what is the true temp. It reported 14 down in Portishead and 15 when I was up in Cribbs at lunchtime. I need to replace my home weather station as it's conked out, which is why I'm always guessing the temp somewhat! edit: Horfield (Marty Hicks) reported 14.1 max today, and the Clevedon station reported 14.6. So not too bad for this time of year.
