WHat a shame the end of this lovely fine period of weather is nearly over. 

[William Grimsley]

Cloudy and breezy with raining leaves this morning here. Temperature: 12.8°C Wind: ESE 3 mph gusting to 8 mph.

[Evening thunder]

Foggy start again with a min of 3.6C, now clouded over. Yesterday was hazy with the sky only properly blue if you looked upwards, weak sun, and limited visibility.. so the high had become quite dirty really.

 

Time for a different form of interest and a new airmass to refresh things. 

[knocker]

Quite dismal with As and ragged Ci. Rain just getting into the SW of Cornwall.

[William Grimsley]

A mild and windy evening here. Temperature: 14.2°C Wind: ESE 9 mph gusting to 22 mph.

A soggy start as band of rain spread across the area, and soaked me twice, for the fun of it.

Quite tropical here starting the day at 16C, compared to yesterday's 6C. Breezy and cloudy with occasional drizzle.

[Wynn D Woo]

Occasional burst of light rain / drizzle on my drive to work and distinctly mild feeling.

[Andy Bown]

Frequent showery rain/drizzle all day so far but nothing particularly heavy. Noticeably muggy at 17.3c and 96% humidity. Bring back the chilly starts and clear blue sky warm sunny days lol !

I think you may find some big cells starting to move your way. Unfortunately, as per usual I get none of these! lol

They're nothing particularly interesting, just going to bring some heavy rain. I would be more intrigued if we'd had any warm sunshine to fuel the atmosphere.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Ground fog in the valley. Raining. Humidity 93%rh. Precipitation today  10.5mm. So far.  Temperature 16.7c.

Yeah, tonight looks more interesting if at all, may get one bang.

[Rich_Clements]

Bit of a shock this morning upon leaving the house, damp and mild, I had sort of got used to chilly and foggy starts.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Grey .. Dull..  Overcast..  Rain.. 15.3mm.   Humidity  95%rh.  Pressure 1015.4hpa.

[Dorsetbred]

Well that was a wet one wasn't it?

21.2mm and the rain continues this morning albeit very light at the moment but lurking over the channel is another story. Right bring it on.

Currently:

15.2°C

RH 95 %

991.5 mb steady

[William Grimsley]

Heavy showers during the night but currently mild, cloudy and breezy here. Rainfall Today: 1.6 mm. Temperature: 15.7°C. Wind: SSE 7 mph gusting to 16 mph.

[Evening thunder]

Mostly cloudy, showers around. 1.4mm of rain today.

 

It's odd, yesterday and today virtually all showers/downpours heavy enough to be of any interest are going east of here, sometimes by literally a mile or so.. It's as if there's some topographic feature to the south controlling where they form and their track, rather than just flat sea surface..

 

The few showers coming this way tend to be the ones that weaken/die.

A very disturbed morning with heavy showers and downpours developing from the South coast and spreading quickly North across this area, some sunshine too. The sort of conditions where getting caught out in a 5 minute downpour soaks you (me!!) to the skin, causes a lot of surface water then clears to warm sunshine.

 

15.8c now after a recent downpour, however half an hour ago it was 17.9c .

[MP-R]

Absolutely heaving it down in Aztec West now, could see it coming over darker and darker with a pronounced front to it. Now just need some thunder.

[jtay]

Tonking it down here at the moment and I got soaked through in a couple of minutes, first thing this morning. A proper showery day...

[Andy Bown]

LOW centre must be right over E.Somerset and W/SW Wiltshire right now judging by radar shower movements going anticlockwise around in a circle with quite an obvious gap between Warminster-Shepton Mallet (East-West of circle diameter) and Wincanton-Bath (South to North of circle diameter).

[William Grimsley]

Looks like some torrential downpours are heading my way though I'll bet £50 that they die out before hitting me!
