Andy Bown Andy the narrow band of rain is part fo the low spin activity shown below
The rest is forming nicely in the channel at the moment, so looking to be damp later and seems to be set to track northwards, so we are just on its western fringe at the moment, from a track perspective.
Overnight the low of 8.1°C at: 05:04, currently 11°C, RH77% and light air movement from the S.

Weird...fairly placid...all of a sudden all hell let loose.Was there a sting jet or similar.The trees were really struggling bending this way and that.Can confirm sleet splodges too.On arrival big branch got snapped in the wind at home residents chainsawing and clearing it up.
Wouldn't have though so on a sting jet, as the showery outbreaks stretched from Norfolk to Cornwall. The showers were variable in intensity and as is common with heavy showers:
There is a particular type of wind that is generated by rainfall.
If a lot of heavy rain drops fall from a cloud, they drag the air down with it. This is deflected by the ground and flows as a wind outwards in all directions at ground level.
This sudden outflow is often felt a minute or so before the rain actually gets to you, so can give warning of an approaching shower in fairly still conditions.

A bright afternoon, enable me to get on with the decorating, as decorating in the gloom is quite challenging. So finished the room, now to put the furniture back in readiness for the granddaughter visit on Sunday.

Morning All, the overnight low of 8.1°C at: 01:33 has eased up to 11.2°C , RH82% and a light breeze from the NNW, as the front crosses the area. the first part didn't create a drop, the second part has some rain on it, but doesn't look to be that much now, expecting to see it here around 12ish.

Dry again this morning. Looked at the radar and have risked putting washing on the line. First time this year, especially as the garden is slow to get sun and warmth being North facing.
Had washing on the line for the days and last night, with the warmth yesterday it did well, today somewhat slower but enough air movement to dry it even though we lacked the suns' warmth.
Suggestion is for this weakening feature to cross the area early tomorrow, so the washing is coming in tonight.
Meanwhile you have to love GEFS, hope ability with this chart for Saturday

is it really going to turn foggy this afternoon? It is barely ever still foggy at 14.00/15.00 even under a midwinter anticyclone!
Well at least it'll be different (If it did happen) to the rest of the week.
