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.

Not a lot of rain here today, though it did get incredibly dark a few
times and there were some rumbles of thunder earlier. Very clear this
evening with details showing well on the hills.
BTW - yesterday evening the cloud seemed to be arranged in approx east
west stripes, and some of the contrails were in what I can only describe
as a helix pattern. What sort of air movement would cause that? Also a
nice sun dog.
