Continuous rain since about 1200z, initially slight but mostly moderate

Indeed, a very poor forecast.
An initial 'pulse' of rain was predicted to move into North Wales/Cheshire
earl;y on, then fizzle leaving most areas of NW England having a reasonably
sunny morning but clouding over later with rain by evening.
Instead it was cloudy with a little brightness in the morning, then light/
moderate rain in the afternoon.
Max temp 9.1°C, now 6.7°C with light rain.
