Pleased I'm not living next to a rivet in western Scotland, they are certainly going to get hammered over the next 24 hours, followed by Cumbria.

At least we have a couple hours rest bite :/

Windy here in Darlo but nothing unusual for November

 

Plenty of rain to the west of us but so far its not made it over to us

[Staffordshire]

What is stopping the rain getting over the Pennines? It is actually fairly sunny here in Leeds

[Pat Butcher]

Some pretty spectacular flying going on thanks to the Jetstream...

my home is in West mids so I experience a rain shadow quite oftener omelet mountains but this seems different - it has literally stopped

[joggs]

Heavy rain for the last 3 hrs here in Bingley and nothing 15 miles to the east of here thanks to the rain shadow effect.

[Mokidugway]

Given the speed of sound at at 36000 ft is 660 mph ,680 mph is pretty impressive ,but of course your flying subsonic in a parcel of air ..

[Liam J]

Much of eastern England is dry atm while the west is getting pasted.

[Summer Sun]

Bar the wind its not bad at all here east of the pennines some sunshine at times and mild

[Summer Sun]

GFS still has some worrying rainfall totals for north west Scotland

 

Around 200m for some parts by next Monday

 

 

By d10 the highest totals get above 250mm and widely over 100mm at the same time many parts of England struggle to get 10mm Cumbria looks set for a lot of rain though

It's called the eggwhisk effect.

[Thunder Snow]

Very heavy rain all morning but starting to become persistent

[Liam J]

Heavy persistent rain but the wind has dropped significantly, until this evening when it's set to ramp up again with a small area east of the Pennines close to 80mph according the NetWx-SR 4km model.
