Default Little or no shower activity ?

Severe and unpleasant as this low has been with regards to the main
frontal system and the more than 24 hours of strong winds, one thing
that has been notable compared to, say, the deep lows of April is how
little shower activity there has been here. One might expect a low
like this to give the normal "sunshine and showers" on steroids with
funnel clouds, large hail etc but there's been nothing of the sort,
here at least. Occasional spells of rain (not really showers, more
like short-duration frontal rain in character) overnight, but little
rain - or sun - during the day - just a near 8/8 sheet of cloud,
rather low most of the time, now starting to rise. Has this been the
case elsewhere?

After yesterday's gale, rain & unusually big seas, a windy but mainly
sunny day here. I did see 1 small shower pass just to the north, but
that was it.

Out of the wind in east facing Mousehole it felt very pleasant. Sea's
back to 'just a decent swell' now http://www.minack.com/webcams.htm

Nothing here at Worthing in fact despite the wind its been a sunny afternoon
with scattered cloud, very pleasant in the sun out of the wind.

=============

We're not in the sort of airmass that would be typified by the
conditions you describe. The low centre had only crept as far as Lancs/
Cumbria by 12:00UTC Friday and is thoroughly wrapped by its occlusion.

.... similar here, though as Stephen says in another part of the thread,
I wouldn't have expected too much - surprised we didn't get a 'spit in
the wind' sort of shower, but the day has been dry, blustery, with cloud
base lifting slowly & fragmenting from early afternoon, though still
half-cover.


One tree down in Ferndown (nearby) which has caused traffic chaos and I
understand that there are other such events across the county (Dorset).

Yes- though we just got enough of a shower at tea time to stop me
thinking about hedge trimming
