Wow, very heavy rain here - feel sorry for those at the Reading festival, though it currently looks less wet there than here.

[Steve C]

Just gentle rain here and very muggy. Not my favourite Saturday weather by a long shot!

[Anvils in the Sky]

Morning all,

 

Feeling a little underwhelmed to be honest. Nothing but light rain here - as has been the case since it started in the early hours. (Of course, the second I type that, it starts to pick up in intensity! Just a little though. Yet, oddly, the grey of the sky starts to lighten in colour at the same time.) Therefore rain so far, I have to say, of 'nuisance' rather than 'useful' value.

 

On the positive side.......

it's Saturday....and it's a long weekend. And tomorrow and Monday are looking better I gather?

 

Have a great BH weekend, chaps and chapesses, whatever you're up to.

Doesn't that stand for in the middle (or something like that) in Italian?

Very humid this evening despite the cloud and lack of sun this afternoon... could this be the calm before the storm?!

Literally translated it means "lets cross over"  Its a phrase I tend to use when with friends quite a lot and they often look at me as if I am a bit of of a barnpot..

[Ruthie]

Light rain here in brentford, and its misty and murky!

[Kent Snow]

Muggy, misty and absolutely tipping it down. 19C.

[alexisj9]

Muggy misty and light rain, East of us on radar it looks like it's hammering down tat the moment.

[Methuselah]

Grey and spectacularly grotty with occasional rain...

[Captain Shortwave]

looking rather unspectacular on the radar at the moment.

[Methuselah]

Nothing remotely promising is how I'd describe it, CS. Good chance we'll see some torrential drizzle, though.

[Summer of 76]

Since 6.30am this morning I have a total of 17.4mm, the rate has dropped right back since when it started.

I will need to go out and pick up some booze from the supermarket later, I'm sure I will be attacked by a wild thunderstorm when I go out 

 

One of the very few advantages of being incapacitated. My local convenience store now deliver to my doorstep, all I have to do is phone them my order and it's here within half an hour. Not just booze I hasten to add, I occasionally eat as well.

 

It really is a glum old day here, 18c, overcast and misty and the type of rain which is just a notch or two up from drizzle. I really do feel for anyone who has anything planned outdoors today.

[BLUNT]

Tipping down here, terrential rain

[Anvils in the Sky]

The murky low rubbish cleared just enough a minute ago for me to spot a really impressive convective cumulus tower going up to my south. (The crud had covered it again by the time I grabbed my camera though.) Great to get a glimpse of some decent stuff going on higher in the atmosphere - in an area the lower clouds are ensuring is pretty much out of "eye-shot" at the moment.

 

Sorry, can't think of a visual equivalent of "earshot" at the moment. Brain refusing to move beyond first gear this morning.

[A.J]

time for a new thread me thinks....so please finish off any posts......link to follow

[Tamara]

On the basis of the very unpalatable expectations of today, I'm much in the minority of very readily living quite happily with it simply staying overcast with some rain in the air but not much else going on. However, whether it stays that way though is another matter ... until the quieter and better weather starts to arrive from tomorrow.

 

Monday looks a beautiful day to enjoy - one to look forward to
