Something a little sparky as just spawned off to the north of that dying cluster... fingers crossed it might rear up into a beast as it tracks northwards. Very localised though I would have thought.
After a frustrating day of seeing everything either west or east of here, my first storm of the day and it seemed to appear out of nothing north of Manchester.
absolutely hammering it down at the moment.

Other than a few drops if rain, dry here all day.

Not sure about the warning of thunderstorms but biblical rain here for the last half an hour.
looks like the dog will have to walk itself tonight.

I have to say, give me this all day long, much more comfortable and interesting going for rainfall records than heat records.
Yeah we’re never going to beat the south when it comes to heat but we can take them on with rain.
we’ve had thousands of years of practice when it comes to wet weather.
it sounds like it’s eased off a bit here but our little stream on the other side of the garden fence is pretty well full to the brim now.

Rochdale town centre will be flooded out I'm sure. River Roch must be raging torrent.
Rochdale centre never used to flood but seems to be threatened with flooding pretty much every year now.
the flood siren has been sounded at Walsden at the top of the Calder Valley so no doubt those at Todmorden, HB and Mytholmroyd won’t be long behind it.
over the hill here in Bacup no flooding yet but still hammering it down.

Hasn't got above 15c all day. Got the window open and it feels really cool compared to what we saw a few days ago! 20c difference.
Yeah I meant it’s warm compared to the cold stuff we will be getting in a few months.

20 minutes out walking the dog and we’re both soaked to the skin.
at least it’s warm rain though

The monsoon has started here now, absolutely hammering it down.

Disgusting day’s weather; cold, windy and wet throughout and a far cry from the conditions this time last week.
i just hope that next Saturdays Ale Trail sees something closer to Easter’s weather than today’s.

Best get the outdoor jobs done whilst the weather is usable.
Save on the leccy bill too by hanging washing on the line.
Us folk that live in hilly areas are more prone to drizzle if not heavy rain forcing us to find alternative means to dry the washing. If one has a large family, that is a challenge.
True, dry days when the washing dries on the line are pretty rare in this part of the country and even less up in the hills but today has been an excellent day for leaving the drier switched off.
thats said it’s felt cold out of the sun

Why have we got this awful wind. It’s showing 14 mph on the forecast when it’s been far more here for days. Just like a Mistral no gusts just a constant blow and no shelter here from this direction. Been howling all night!
We often get these really gusty easterly winds here in the spring and like you say they are often much stronger than anything forecast.
a few years ago I had a few fence panels blown clean out when just a few miles down the valley at work it had hardly rustled leaves.
It’s not quite East Lancashire’s equivelant of Cross Fell’s Helm Wind but pretty strong and cold when it blows.

Hopefully no more fires... it is dry as up in the hills though... the wind is really drying things out...
Yeah we had that wet couple of weeks but as you say, the wind is really drying the ground out now.

Very windy today...gusts have brought a few large branches down, only 40-45mph but as trees in leaf the effect and sound is magnified.... in Denton felt quite warm in sunshine out of the wind....
A reminder that it’s still only April, pretty warm in the sun, bloody cold out of it.
at least it’s dry though although that and the wind aren’t helping with the spate of moorland fires around here over the weekend.
right conditions and wrong idiots and bingo

Well we're managing to stay dry in this current phase of weather but being on the northern extent of the showers to the south we're getting fairly strong & gusty easterly winds siphoning down from the pennines....which makes it feel pretty chilly despite the sunshine of today.
Yeah, a decent day but once that cloudy murk moved in late afternoon it went damn cold.
certainly cold enough to cut the dogs walk short.

Sunny and dry
Yeah pretty decent through the middle of the day but cloudy later in the afternoon, at least here and not that warm once the sun disappeared.

That’s probably why the dog gave me one of those looks when I sent him outside.

Had some puppy proofing to do in the garden this weekend so after giving yesterday’s monsoon a miss, today’s cold sleety showery weather was at least usable if not particularly comfortable to be working outside in.

Woke up to this
I’d phone that number and get it moved if I were you
not a bad effort with the snow though.

Hills have a sprinkling of white around 280m asl. Could be hail / snow.
Yeah a little bit here on the cars and grass but I don’t think i’ll need to get the shovel out.

A situation is developing. Plenty of water to find its way down.
There was flooding on the Manchester Leeds line at Walsden near Todmorden early this afternoon so that may be a lot to do with it.
conditions around these parts are nowhere near as bad as Boxing Day 2015 but it’s been a wet day and river levels haven’t been much higher since.
at least that looks like the last of the monsoon though with a drying trend from tomorrow onwards.
-
This is one forecast they got right.
heavy rain all morning here and rivers are full to bursting.
-
Another very wet day on the cards here tomorrow if the forecast is to be believed.
-
Heavy snow now but not really sticking other than on the cars and grass.
probably a different story further up the hill though.

Looking at the forecast and the early Met O advisory, I’d be more concerned about the potential rainfall up here in the Pennines rather than a snow threat and TBH I’ll be surprised if we even see a flake of wet sleet.
happy to be proved wrong though.
