Rain this afternoon was light but now in heavy pulses. It was
supposed
to be
drying out this morning (according to last night's forecast, now
changed!)
as the front moved east. Instead a trough has appeared on the latest
chart
(from Wetterzentrale) running down central Britain in a line north
south.

Any interesting developments along this trough?

I can see the development on the radar over the past few hours. It
was
forecast to dry up here this afternoon. Instead, an increasingly
heavy
drizzle has set in. We don't often see that down here - my 85 year
old
mum in Durham always calls it "the sort of rain that really wets you".

Well, we always know what she means.

Yes, I was about to post on this. it now seems to be moving S.E and
intensifying rather than NE as forecast. Will the BBC News 24 presenters
spot this. Not if the Bank Holiday forecast was anything to go by!

Will the presenters spot this ? If you'd have watched BBC1 1330 weather
before Neighbours you'd have spotted it :-p

It seems the showers/rain are being prolonged, or even enhanced, due to
dynamic forcing aloft in the left exit region of the upper jet -

Something very difficult to pin down even at a short lead time.
