Heard thunder from a storm that was passing north of Swansea this afternoon, most of the showers were north of the M4 like they have been for the past few days with coastal areas staying dry. Very nice looking clouds and thundery skies today though...let's hope for something better than just a rumble soon!

For the past couple of weeks, we have missed the worst of the showers, with far more inland. Saying that though still around 50mm of rain so far this month, mostly in the past 2 weeks, with another inch of rain at least (maybe 2 inches) likely by the end of the month

[Herefordweather]

Surely some localised flooding across Wales? I've had 19mm here in Hereford now and its still torrential. Will help the rivers thats for sure!

[J10]

Looking at radar returns, around an inch of rain in the past 24 hrs, no reports of flooding (to my knowledge), but river levels are high and there is a lot of surface water.

[Marcus_surfer]

25.3mm of rain here in the past 24 hours, was expecting more however.

[virtualsphere]

20mm here today - was also expecting more given that we had 27mm on 9th April.

[mikeocarroll]

11.7mm here since midnight. The largest part of that was in the main rain band this morning (when it got quite gusty too) but since then it's been intermittent showers, some heavy, some light.

@herefordweather - there were some reports of localised flooding earlier, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17837119.

The ground here is wetter than it has been since early January, getting back towards its normal state after 3 months of dry weather. Even this month has been fairly dry here with just 65.4mm so far including today's rain, much of the rain in coastal areas in the past 3 weeks has died away inland.

Your so dry yet here it seems to have been quite wet! I have had 22.2mm of rain in the last 24hrs bringing my yearly total to exactly 300.0mm so far which isn't too bad considering we have also had some weeks with no rain atall!

[Carl46Wrexham]

Today is starting to look like a non-event.

Hindsight being the wonderful thing it is, the forecast should have been : Cloudy with outbreaks of showery rain.

[snefnug]

how about rain, with brief outbreaks of non rain? Ceiriog river is thundering past the bottom of our garden, through the grey curtain of rain everything looks green, in a wet watery way. newly planted beans look a bit sad, I would to if I was stuck out in that!

[J10]

We have missed the showers so far today, but some look like pushing in from the NW.

[keithlucky]

A lot of rain forecast next week with flooding becoming a problem doesent seem to be any balance in the weather one extreme to another.

Bit of late April snow action?

Not really seeing it myself, uppers are too high and think the NAE must be undercooking the dewpoints (even allowing for significant evaporative cooling) as that chart is for Midday. Perhaps a bit of snow over the tops of Snowdonia & Brecon Beacons, but only talking the very tops.

It is pretty cold out for the time of year though.

[benb]

Blizzards and heavy snow above 300m in Snowdonia and the Brecons, according to this-

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/mountain-forecast/

It'll be a nasty day, regardless.

[Jackfrost]

Not often you see snow forecast for anywhere outside of the Scottish Highlands at this time of year.

Take a look at this, especially at the date:
