I consider 'The North' to start as you leave Staffordshire and
cross into Cheshire.

Acha, awa' wi ye! It's all relative.

As far as I'm concerned 'The South' starts as you leave
Inverness-shire and cross into Perthshire on the A9 at
Drumochter. The North **of England** starts when you cross the
Tweed, or Carter Bar, or pass Gretna heading southwards.

It is indeed all relative, but the term 'The North' tends to
refer to northern England, rather than the UK as a whole.
Scotland isn't in 'The North' at all, Scotland is just Scotland

Still no sign of gales here. Almost flat calm, 8/8, 10ºC,
boring.

Heavy rain here, quite breezy.
Very unpleasant to be 'out and about' in.
One of those situations where the rain hangs on
in this area of NW England for some hours after
it has cleared from the rest of the country.
Just driving in from the Irish Sea.....
