Stormy Weather II

[cloughie]

Cleared up here this afternoon, now some sunshine, but the forecast for the rest of the week does not bode well!

[BBMmk2]

Ended up being quite blustery after the rain, I think we will have a mixed bag today.

[DracoM]

First rain for 25 days here at 6.35 p.m. yesterday [24th April]. Lasted about fifteen minutes, lightish, then disappeared.
Was its journey really necessary?

Today, 25th, darker, much cloudier, altogether more promising of rain and dampness.

Be grateful for the bit you got: we need more!
Looks like nothing really significant forecast here now till Saturday.
Perhaps about 2mm today.

[DracoM]

Yes, despite ominous clouds, seems very much the same here too.

Current radar map for S. England shows a patchwork of April showers -some useful sprinklings but no proper drenchings.

[cloughie]

Sunny but breezy, not too warm, so far here today.

[Pulcinella]

Thunder, lightning, and a decent amount of rain here now.

Still going where you are Pulcers as I write this, and that particular cluster of storms has now extended as far as Leeds, so it will be interesting to see if it reaches DracoM's neck of the woods. Click on the link I provided in#2880, and you can see where the lightning is firing off, the moment it happens!

Rain, sunshine, rain, hail, mostly cloudy.

That was rather my view of what we got here today. A bit of dampness in the morning then a brief decent downpour(no storm) at midday. A steady breeze and sun has removed most of it, but at least the air has been washed clear of dust and whatever the farmer was busy throwing on his fields yesterday - the wind and the speed of the vehicle involved didn't do much for accuracy of application.

Now bright sun and blue sky!

[oddoneout]

It may be a SW wind but golly is it cold here today - and the chance of rain seems to have largely gone - there are large clumps on the weather map but they are all either gone through or not likely to be blown this way, indeed there is a big dry void centred on my home town. Scattered showers seems to be the best we can hope for. Talking it up possibly and it would be inconvenient as I am out and about today, but my wish for rain overrides personal comfort at present!

[DracoM]

Things brewing oop 'ere. Hmm.
BUT garden looking richly after recent rain revived some and triggered others.
AND, boy, is it cold or what!

[LezLee]

Sunny, then cloudy, then piddling down, now cloudy again. Windy and really cold - I've had to put the heating on!
