We have begun the day on a much cooler note than for sometime with only about 6 or 7 C. The rain is forecast to set in from 7am & last most of the morning. We are forecast a couple of hours of sunshine from about 5pm this evening before rain returns. Our max is expected to be about 9C while our min will be 5 or 6C! So a cold wet and windy day today!

A day of strong winds again. Apart from a drop of rain that is suppose to turn up at some point this morning the majority of the day is dry with ..hopefully...some sunshine. High of 11C with a low of 7C.

a sunny but cool day yesterday and after a 80 mile motor bike ride I was decidedly chilly in my extremities when we got home.
It has rained heavily off and more on since 3am.

The forecast rain from 7am didn't put in an appearance but when it finally arrived, around 8.30am, it arrived with a bang - literally! In the space of 10 minutes we had 2 thunder claps preceded by lightening flashes. I can't remember a time when we had a thunderstorm so early in the year! Apart from soaking all the poor kids, & their parents, grandparents, etc., got as they made their way to the school just over the road from us, it also brought hail, well, perhaps frozen rain rather than hail, as the ice was quite small.
All in all the storm probably passed in about half an hour or so. But with the storm we got almost hurricane strength winds with the rain being blown along the road looking like the waves of the sea running past from right to left. (NW to SE). We have had a few brief showers but no more thunder or lightening. The very strong winds however have not abated at all & we can hear them them all the time.
We have had lots of brief sunny intervals but it remains cloudy most of the time & cool! If the weather forecasts for the coming weekend & all next week we can expect weather the opposite to today's with a lot more sunshine& higher temps once again. Seems it will also be a lot drier with little rain forecast. The exception it seems may be in the south of the country where possibly heavy downpours could happen. As the week progresses the northern part of the country could feel the heat as well. Certainly they forecast a much drier scenario for NW UK.

A calmer day today but still on the chilly side as we only have 7C at 6am. At least the wind has dried down and we couldn't hear it anymore when we went to bed last night.
This morning the day had begun cloudy but it will be a day of sunny intervals and possible showers, especially during the afternoon.
Temps are forecast to remain a little below average for the middle of April. We expect about 11C max today, which is a slight improvement on yesterday's 8C.
