Yup, raining here too with leaden gloomy skies, have to laugh really at the bad joke that weather forecasting is in this country!
Looks like a small trough moving in a NNE direction was missed, looks to me like your unlucky that it's not strong enough for it to produce storms, although it does seem to be still developing, a few brighter echo's showing up now.

Just walking to the station to go to work and it starts to rain with a rainbow developing . Funny the rain felt quite nice and refreshing .
May be a few surprises later today then, although the high cloud seems to have cleared here for now.

A nice start here, some high level cloud around, and fair weather cumulus blowing in from the sea, very diffuse. Temp already up to 19.2. Is it really September. DP is 18.2 and the humidity is all the way up at 94%. Gonna be a sticky day by the looks of it.
-
Day started off nice and fresh at last, however it is now uncomfortable again already.
-
Looking at radar, looks like the rain might be edging this way now. Is the actual cold front where there seems to be a squall of sorts developing just north of London, or the whole band.
-
Temp 21, a little windy but nothing major. Humidity at 85, sunny. dp heading up not down curently 17.5. What cold front and what rain.

I'm not sure it's going to rain here, have had ac cas up high and cumulus down low all day, along with plenty of sun. It's still warm and humid with it. I really wanted the rain today as it was around. But the clouds now seem to be getting more benign looking. The high cloud disappearing and the cumulus more diffuse.
-
So far it started sunny, now we have some interesting looking cloud but it is dry. I'd get exited with this cloud tbh if I didn't know it was just rain possible. There are still some sunny spells.
-
Wow what a day, started sunny, then was cloudy for a little while. Perhaps the warm front?
Then clear blue sky for the rest of the day. Did not expect that at all.

Midterm forecast
Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:
Mainly fine with some sunshine during this period, with temperatures increasing to perhaps become hot by Tuesday, with warm and humid nights likely.
40% chance of some light showers Thursday afternoon
Sounds lovely, apart from the warm humid nights, they can do one. Don't mind a few of those in the summer, but it's getting ridiculous now lol.

Technically it is, but until the trees turn brown and leaves are dropping en masse I still count it as summer as Autumn doesn't start until halfway through September on my calendar.
Storms in winter are extremely unlikely in my experience, but as I said above in my post I have witnessed thundersnow twice before so its not impossible.
I've come out of the no storms thread in Jan every year since I moved here. Although my longest storm, started at about midnight and lasted til around mid day in either November or October . In 2014.
And the night before I was watching flashes from a storm on the french coast doing the same thing, just hugging the coast.
-
Well it's been another cloudless day, not sure if that means the cold front hasn't come over yet?
However I think it has as the wind picked up mid afternoon and that made it feel fresher. That's the only difference here though.
-
Been a lovely sunny day down here all day, not a cloud in the sky. High of 26.2 so far.
-
Well had drizzle all day on Monday, Warm with mostly cloud yesterday, although some breaks did appear at times. Today there is a mist, but I can already see blue through it. Might be a better day for cloud amounts, fingers crossed.

Thanks for your comments guys. On this occasion I think the high res models struggled. But hey ho, that's the weather for you!
Looking at the latest radar, Arpege was certainly out with it's timing for today's rain - it came through much earlier than this model suggested, so a disappointing performance there (especially as I rate this model).
And GFS high res was out with the 'how much and where', but as rainfall is notoriously difficult to pin down, maybe not as 'guilty' as Arpege? For my location GFS looking almost spot on with 4mm of rain recorded against a forecast of 4mm. But for Mapantz on the south coast, the Isle of Portland just up the road has recorded 14mm against a forecast of 3mm.
Anyway, it's all good fun and not to be taken seriously!
Have had lot's of proper rain now, but nothing close to needing a met warning yet.
-
Well so far this cold front, (if that's what's over us now), has given us is drizzle.
-
I've now got lot's of unstable ac cas cloud moving west to east, normally see them moving from the south to north, normally on a NNE axis.

Oh err!!
What happened with Arpege's thoughts on timing with the rain? Here's the chart I posted last evening that was meant to be 21.00 tonight. And in comparison, the Rainfall Radar at 14.10 this afternoon. They look virtually identical. So is Arpege 7 hours out or did I drop a clanger and miss that there was a band of rain due this afternoon as well as again this evening?
Fri Arpege for 21.00 tonight
Radar 14.10
Well no rain has been through here as yet, not even that light blue bit. Was just cloud here. I'm wondering what that heavy stuff to the west will have left when it get's here.
-
Clouded over here now, and the wind is rising.
-
A very nice sunny start. Clear blue sky.

I'm personally watching that stuff in le harve goodness knows what that is, looks like a small low. Must be an upper low feature as there isn't meant to be a low south of us now.
Edit: My mistake there is a little low pressure south of us in the charts.
