It just goes to show - if you want to know what the weather will be
like, look at the radar (and satellite imagery). It may also provide
an explanation for the odd continuation of the rain symbols in the
site-specific forecast - presumably the wrap-around feature as the
'hook' of the occluded front comes sweeping in from the west.
However, the rain associated with this does not look that close to
you right now (just getting to Anglesey at 1230BST). Why have an
hourly forecast if you do not distinguish between the hours?

The MeteoGroup version of events for Stoke (and that is not just raw
model data) via BBC Weather centre shows sunshine and showers till
c17h then rain takes over - I guess that would be the wrap-around
arriving. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2636841

Indeed. The radar is the best short-range forecasting tool.
