[Richard2901]

Yet another totally dire day. Infuriating cloud that won't break up or shift despite the satellite image showing clear skies in all directions. Just the same story as the whole ghastly summer really. Very cool as well at only 13.7C.

This weekend has been a write-off just like pretty much every weekend in this summer of endless grey muck. Nothing more than a few glimmers of sun since Thursday.

No doubt the cloud will break up completely just after sunset, like it did yesterday, only to reform in time to ruin another day

[Milhouse]

After a cloudy day its turned out fairly pleasant with good sunny spells. Looking at the radar some lively showers have sparked up over on the south bank of the Humber but the movement of these seems to be in a southeasterly direction so we should miss them. Max of 16.8c so far so not that warm.

[NW Leeds Russ]

Just started raining heavily here now.

Looks like a thin band of rain but it's quite heavy and certainly came out of nowhere

[sunny scunny]

Heavy rain here which is unexpected.16c.
