When is it going to stop... Raining

[SpokeyDokey]

SE Lakes. Cold and damp. Just had a rain shower. Depressing really and doesn’t seem to be an end to it.

Forecast: big yellow sun for Thursday only now instead of Thursday to Sunday as previously predicted.

Next is to get the wind to calm down a bit too

It has at least swung round from the biting Northerly! (this may depend on your location ... but I suspect it's broadly true ... )
I'd guess that's a big factor in the "effective / feels like" temps we've had this April.

We have something called sunshine here in Dewsbury currently. I'm not sure when this last happened - sunny and vaguely warm - but it'd probably be in June last year.

Very warm in Mancland today, maybe touching 19C!!!
Windy as hell though

Sunny, warm and a little windy at times all day in the Costa del Tyne and Wear. Lovely stuff.

Same here.

On Saturday I experienced a very chilly cross-headwind up the A58 climb from Littleborough to Blackstone Edge which made it tough.

Today it was a warm cross-tailwind which made it much easier and more pleasant.

Actually getting to Littleborough in the first place was much harder today though!

I actually mowed the lawn today!

I my part of SE Lakes this evening there was a bit of a breeze and it felt warm. It was quite nice. At lunchtime I took the dog out and it was warm, dry, sun/white cloud mixed breezy.

You mean locals are no longer skating on the Tyne.

Wind has dropped in Mancland. Lovely morning. Bike still not dirty and the 'bog of doom' was just rideable last night.

Bright sun again. My home office gets quite warm with the solar heating through the picture windows. Looking out it's too bright for me to see what the sky looks like. I assume that means full sun without clouds. It is just too bright to actually see for certain. Think i might close the curtains.

I don't know, it's raining too much and now too bright. Are us brits never happy with the weather?

First evening this year that I didn't feel the need of putting the heating on
A bit windy, cloudy, but warm: this will do great for my gardening activities

Enjoy it while you can; @classic33 's "heatwave" (or maybe warm-ripple would be more apt) is due to come to an end on Friday. So that was 2 days of almost dry weather we got (in true Brandane style I managed to find a shower on my way to work this morning, no doubt my fault for daring to use the motorbike on the strength of Classic's forecast ). Bank holiday weekend looks like a mixed bag, and we know what that usually means.... ☔☔
