Let's run this thread until the end of the month. I confused people aren't posting as it used to be busy and is interesting to see what's happening everywhere.

Here today - cloudburst at 0800, cloudy with a little sun through till 1500 since which there has benn drizzle on and off. Tops of 20c and now 16c.

patchy rain today sunny now 15°C

[highcliffe2]

Cloudy from the word go with some heavy downpours at around 8 this morning. Never really saw the sun and annoying rain at the moment, feels like autumn. Top temp 22c :shock: , now 19c

It's going to be a cosy night, the heat of last week seems a million miles away

[Supercell]

Prtly cloudy some medioca sized black clouds and temp is 17C

[highcliffe2]

A fine start to the day with some nice cloud formations out to sea. Just had a light shower from some dark looking clouds which hasn't showed up on the latest radar? Temp 18.6c

Torrential downpour this morning at about 9. Now overcast and a quite a breeze blowing - currently 18 degrees. In Hertfordshire at the mo. :roll:

Anyone looked at the met office rainfall - is that band of rain currently over ireland coming our way? will it be bringing storms - or is it not warm enough now ?? :cry:

[highcliffe2]

Yep, that huge band of rain currently over Ireland is coming our way, very unlikely that it will bring any storms though

[PRIME]

The BBC forecast Storms on Sunday in the East - does this look a possibility as the temperatures have dropped and don't look to set to pick up before then ?? :?

[SP1986]

18C here and cloudy

Remember the spring showers in May never get any heat but they can be ferocious - I think the whle country has the chance of thundery showers then.

Lovely summers day here in London, Temp 23c partly cloudy skies more sun than cloud and moderate breeze from the west, a few showers this morning but the heat is building nicely now.

Temp 25C here at about 2 o'clock though its cooled down a bit now still at 22C though very nice interlude before the rain arrives later on

[PRIME]

Do you think this rainy spell will reach us tonight or will it be tomorrow now - seems to be moving over quite quickly !!??!! :?

[Supercell]

Where abouts in the UK are you??

If your in the west it will probs reach you this evening.

[PRIME]

nope in the East - so tomorrow then !! Hopefully not whilst walking to the station !!!!! :x No storms then this week ???? :cry:

[Supercell]

Yes im afraid you will get the worst of it as most of the rain band wont have arrived until tomoz and it will also have intensified. So im afraid it looks like when you wake up the rain will be with you and for a large part of the day. Sorry I think there maybe a small chance of some t-storms as we get back to the routine of sunshine and showers at the weekend

[PRIME]

Thats very good news about the storms - not about the getting wet in the morning though !!! :roll:

[Andy Bown]

A cool day with sunny spells interupted at 1630 by the red echo showing up on the UKMO 1700 radar-torrential downpour for half hour and now cloudy with showery rain. Max of 20c, now 16c.

[Supercell]

Well its raining with on and off heavy bursts but its quite light t the moment. Quite a gusty wind as well

[highcliffe2]

An awful start to the day with moderate rain been going for around 5 hours I'd say. It will be here for most of the day It might not even reach 21c anywhere in the country :shock:

[Andy Bown]

A dreadful morning, heavy rain and 16c.

Hopefully the same in Birmingham to save Englands cricketers

[PRIME]

17 degrees here at the mo - quite a chilly wind and torrential rain since early thing morning - looking at the radars it looks set to get worse as the day goes on !!! :shock:

[SP1986]

pretty moderate-heavy rain here and a warm 19C despite the rain

[highcliffe2]

Rain stopped now and patches of blue skies viewable now Still very breezy, possibly gale force gusts :shock:

[highcliffe2]

Really dark clouds to my north-northwest, nothing showing up on the radar though :shock:

[highcliffe2]

Clouded over from the north-west I believe with a heavy shower - huge droplets :shock:

Torrential downpour lasted about 5 seconds
