It seems quite common that when such dreadful weather is approaching South
GB, the weather here is good. Just drove down to Belfast City airport and
back (120 miles) with only 1/8 Ci, a temp of about 18C and what seems
unlimited visbilty. Overall, it is a lovely summer's evening.

And very pleasant up here as well, though the cloud is rolling
in now. A max of 19.0C with a good deal of sunshine, though there
was a sharp shower in the early hours.

It looked at one time as if NW England would miss out on this one
though that now looks unlikely to be the case.
However I still think it won't be as bad as they are making out, NE
winds don't usually bring much rain here, a lot will break up over
the Pennines.
