[BARRY]

seems to have come to a halt over us tipping down now

[Guest William Grimsley]

There are some lovely lines of altocumulus castellanus clouds just to the W, WNW and NW. I can see 3 rain shafts. 2 in the SW and 1 in the WSW of, here.

I had the pleasure of watching the fog and low cloud clear twice today! Firstly at home in Warminster around midday to 13.00 and then in Westbury an hour or so later!

First morning for quite some time, where the sun has actually been shining from the word go. Currently 15.2C - If the dew dries up on the grass, i might give it a final cut for this year.  

[Mapantz]

I  have a small dilema .. I was thinking of going for a night fish at the beach later, Wave 105 keep harping on about rain, the BBC site has no indication of any rain, neither does the South Today forecast. I've just had a gander at the radar and i see some PPN in the South West, moving in this general direction. The NAE precip chart shows an area of rain creeping this way this evening, so i don't really know whether to go and dig some raggies or not? Could someone with access to the NMM give me an idea of what that has in store? It'd be muchly appreciated.

A beautiful day after fog cleared quite quickly this morning, the sun is quite hazy due to Cirrus and Altocumulus but the temperature is a lovely 22.7c so I wonder how much more it will rise before cloud from showers to the SW encroaches.

NMM06z shows negligible ppn in your neck of the woods, just the chance of a few showers tomorrow daytime....saying that, it's only showing a rogue shower over Dartmoor as the only ppn in our region for 14z today...radar shows it's a bit out on that prog!

[Ashme]

hmm.....quite a bit of rain to come for southern most parts by the looks of things....radar shows a finger of quite heavy rain stretching across south devon heading towards dorset/hants with a finger of more showery rain to the north of this over mid-devon and stretching into parts of somerset.....the whole area of rain is moving slowly ENE along the steering winds as a shallow trough continues to develop through the SW approaches and into the english channel

 

 

just to add, this can be seen on the sat24.com visible light imagery, as forcing is occurring along the south coast of our region, shown by bright cloud tops, with some embedded mid-level convection by the looks of things

There's some larg-ish convective drops of rain falling here now, quite few and far between though.  Things are on hold for fishing at the moment, i'll play it by the radar.

 

It reached 21C today,  4th day running of 20C and above, not bad for the tail end of September! 

[dec10snow]

Coming down quite heavy here now! Temperatures around 20C though!

[Costa Del Fal]

Foggy again here in Falmouth. Just wont budge recently!

No thunder. But, there is some heavy rain around in places.

The mist/fog just wont budge. Drizzling again. Thankfully southern Cornwall and the Channel Islands look best placed for any thundery potential Friday night.

[Nights King]

Been quite a wet early evening here but very warm for the time of year outside. 14.2c

I've just got back from fishing, had a few moderate showers but nothing to ruin the night. It did go slightly misty due to no wind but the bonus was that the sea was like a mill pond, and this was right by the entrance to Poole harbour which is notoriously choppy. I got a 5lb mullet and a few 1lb bass for my troubles though, nom noms tomorrow!

 

Currently 15.5C and a few more showers lurking. Night! 

[MP-R]

Wet start. Luverly juverly.

Yes it was rather grim out working in Bath! Not heavy rain but persistent drizzle/light rain. That narrow band of rain moved sooo slowly NNW, looking at the radar I estimate it moved 100 miles in about 8 hours!

 

12mm in my gauge from yesterday mid pm up to this lunchtime which was completely unexpected 24 hours ago!
