Edit: Hang on, it's pouring again, but strangely bright.

[Convective/Storm Discussion early to mid June (merged)]

It's not much to look at on the radar, but here in S Manchester it's just rained, quite hard for 10 mins and now lighter. No thunder but the drops had that melted hail look to them. Refreshing after the humid day we've had.

[Storm Reports]

Heavy rain with thunder 04:00 to 04:30.

The thunder was all loud: no distant thunder heard, presumably muffled by the rain. Quite different sounding to that on 25 June. Rumbling about every 30 secs.

The rain was about 5mm in most open vessels in the garden, enough to wet the soil to a depth of 15mm, below that it's still dust.

[Snow Wintry/precipitation Reports 16th-18th March 06]

Light snow in SW Manchester - Trafford Park, from 9am to 11:30. Never settled, not even heavy enough to wet the ground where it melted.

[Snow/wintry Precipitation Reports: 28th November]

Very pretty scenes in Trafford Park, Manchester. " heavy showers in the last half hour are laying around, even on wet untreated surfaces. It was frosty last night & clear at 7am, so the ground's cold enough. Big flakes right now, they look wet judging by the speed they're falling past my window. Light NWish wind, temp just above freezing.

Jingle Bells all the Way!
