Damp morning with rain on and off certainly not a very inspiring day

A fair amount of CAPE south of Preston this evening especially south of Chester. Will anything make it this far north? Let's see. The last couple of times this sort of setup has occurred it has not gone well.

Turned out quite a decent late pm around my part of Cheshire.  Had a run out, around Holmes Chapel near Jodrell Bank, it did feel chilly when walking, needed my gloves.

Cells moving towards us look potent.  @Chris.R 2nd strike from the cell south east of Crewe.

Not done bad considering it looks like it's been dire for some parts of the NW.

That's it, brightness short lived.  Tipping down now, and any potential electrics in this cell lived and died in Stoke.

Ratings for the Easter 4 day period as a whole, 6 out of 10..Not bad, but nothing special, though better than I was anticipating earlier on last week.

Saturday probably just inched out Sunday as best day, though slightly cooler, it was sunnier. Both were dry days.

Good Friday in third place, a decent morning, the heavy showers took their time to arrive, not until mid afternoon, but a thoroughly wet few hours thereafter.

Today the worse of the 4, a drizzly morning, persistant moderate rain early afternoon onwards, only now showing signs of petering out, making for early getaways home for many. A cold day as well.

The outlook for the foreseeable is unappealing, lots of rain and overcast skies, limited sunshine, the dreaded SW wind will prevail, oh at least it will be mild, fuelling moisture and low cloud formation. I thought we might anchor ourself on the colder side of the jet with strong heights to our NW, alas the pesky azores/euro heights are nosing their way in, locking the trough in place to our west/sw for what seems an eternity now.. can we change the record that has been on replay since late June with only limited breaks..

Good Friday was great here; missed all the showers which was frustrating from a thunder perspective but nice that we kept a dry day. Saturday was beautiful all day. Yesterday was a bit meh  and today has been disgusting.

A pretty miserable day here for the most part, rain at times until late afternoon. Briefly brightened up but now some hefty showers moving through, not electrified unfortunately.

Heading across the border to North Yorkshire today and it rained all the way to Leeds. Wet drizzly stuff rather than heavy but a nuisance nevertheless and it slowed the traffic on the M6 and M62 quite badly..

Mind the gap.

 

Pretty impressive stuff on the other side of the Pennines though.

Winds are too far West of South. Was worried about that.

Its turned into a continously wet end to the day here, I thought there may be a window of dry before sunset but alas a wet drab end to a poor Easter Monday. Felt like someone turned the music off at 10pm this easter weekend, just when the party getting into full swing.. 'come on you've had your little bit of fun (dry weather!) now get back to normal', or the equivalent of an extended lunch break, 'now back to work'... what we all need is a proper break!

I really need to cut my lawn but looks like no window of opportunity this week, the grass and soil is just saturated but given the mild winter it is in dire need of cutting.

Touch of fog here, not too cold, but nice and calm. Still very wet under foot. Mixed week coming up, but at least temps are on the up.

Sunny with puffy clouds.

Very pleasant and unexpected after I couldn't even see the hills this morning.

Just been to Markovitz to order a bulk bag of 20mm limestone and was met with a bonus of ' We can deliver it today'

 

Get in there.
