Sky's going dark here and just a distant rumble of Thunder

Felt about 10 spots of rain yesterday evening and again this evening, for once Wigan was in the right place weather wise

It rained here overnight , but has since dried and brightened up ,sun feels really warm today, also the wind has dropped dramitically ,nice day overall.

27c yesterday in the shade here , 13c today ..freezing

Had a 30 second Hail shower here earlier(7pm ish)

This time of the year tends to bring HP's that drawer in easterly winds which is great for us this side of the Pennines, so far April has been a very sunny and warm month

Cloudy here all day until about 5pm when the sun made an appearance, really disappointing after expecting a lot more sun and warmth

When I went out to work this morning at about 7:25am,it was raining here in Wigan which I wasn't expecting ,however tonight when I returned one of the cars (my son's who is in Australia)on our drive was covered in what is usually termed saharan dust,where did it come from ,I thought the wind was from a N/NW direction...any ideas folks?

Bloody raining here , where's that come from

Not sure what the temp is as my outdoor sensor is knackered but its really white here and has stayed that way in the shade all day

Hi .I apologise if this is not the correct place to seek some advice , please direct me if there is a more appropriate place. My question is I have an Oria weather station (see attached photo) which I have had for a few years now, I know it is not the most accurate or technical but it serves a purpose,recently the outdoor sensor has stopped working ,i've tried to fix it but I have had to throw it away eventually.I have been searching the internet for a replacement sensor but have been unable to locate the identical one .Is it possible to purchase another make of sensor that will work ,I notice that most sensors operate on 433mz frequency ,are all sensors that operate on this frequency compatible . any advice will be gratefully received Regards Ian

Still disappointingly cloudy today after virtually wall to wall sunshine and 29c yesterday , fingers crossed the sun will break through soon.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms here (Winstanley)

I can vouch for that , we were swimming off the west coast of Sweden last week and it was not chilly at all

Just a light shower about 1 hour ago here,now quite bright again, definitely sheltered by the Peaks/Pennines

Looks like the HP is going to be situating itself over Scandinavia and drawing in some warm air from the continent ,which bodes well for me as I'm off to W Sweden tomorrow for a week with the wife.

I sat out eating my breakfast earlier and i felt a few spots of rain but it looks like it's passed now

I was looking forward to a nice warm day to get the grass cut before we jet off to Cape Verde tomorrow, instead it's grey,muggy and been raining for the last hour , roll on tomorrow.

Just finished work until Wednesday, it's disappointingly hazy this afternoon,hope it clears later , was hoping to light the BBQ for the first time this year

P****** down with rain here

On the positive front I'm off to the pacific coast of Mexico tomorrow morning for 2 weeks ,so no doubt i'll be enjoying tropical sunshine,warm seas and a few tequilas amongst other things...hope you all get the cold you crave whilst i'm away , save some for my return though

Absolutely stunned and saddened to hear about Dianne Oxbury ,I really liked her ,she certainly knew more about the weather than other local presenters and had a wicked sense of humour,my thoughts go out to her family x
