Occasional showers but nothing major as they soon pass through due to the winds which are gusting to 37mph. Sun shining, some cloud.

Great drying weather:D

Gonzo

heavy rain, dark, miserable 17C

Ha!

Still like a good Autumnal day here, the wind is really picking up. I was cutting the grass and its like March on the ground I dread to think what harvesting conditions are like.

Mike

Dark skies and very heavy rain here now.

The cloud and rain appear to be mostly bypassing the south coast alright!

I cut my grass on Saturday and it was hard work - mower kept getting clogged up and filled up very quickly. It was the same if not worse last time I did it earlier in August. I suppose in a normal summer I'd have been able to do it more frequently so wouldn't have come across these problems!

LEIN

Very blustery here with a nearby shower.

Snowbie

One rain shower here today and feels nice and fresh again after it.

LEIN

Wasn't much in that shower. Think i got the side of it :mad:

Winds have been very strong overnight particularly towards early morning with regular gusts in the late 50s reaching 59.9mph.

Now calmed considerably and rain seems to have cleared. Brightening at the moment.

while its hugely informative not to mention endlessly entertaining to see post after post quote statistics and figures , does anyone actually know when the weather will improove because its been so unbelievably awfull this summer , im seriously thinking of emmigrating ,
believe it or not i still meet an odd person who says last year was worse

LEIN

Just had a moderate shower.

Drove through some monsoon type rain on the N11 just after Killmac heading south, had window wipers on full speed and it still wasn't fast enough to clear the huge drops of rain.

Still more fun to come, can see some very dark clouds heading my direction!

TheGreenGiant

just after having an insane hail shower with thunder and lightning

rhonin

After a night of heavy showers its a lovely sunny morning. Cold but still nice.

mike65

Fine morning, this is going to be the best day for the next 5 days as far as I can tell.

Mike

RoisinD

11.9mm overnight.

Currently dry, 14.5 degrees. Very little wind, high cloud, feels warm with sun trying to burst through.
