The radar seems to be fixed, but it looks like nothing more than some
scattered patchy light rain or drizzle.



I don't think it has been fixed, that rain is far too patchy for such an
organised frontal band with embedded convection (last visible satellite image
before darkness) over the sea to the west. It also does not fit in with my
"ground truth" obs. I wouldn't trust the radar ATM.

Mmm? Comparing it with the latest IR Satellite image I would say it's
not far out, although I would expect more echos over Northern Ireland.
Any observers reporting rain there atm?
