TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER

[Stanley]

Yesterday afternoon couldn't be said to be wet but it was rainy enough to keep the flags damp all afternoon. At 20:00 it was dry but heavily overcast. First thing this morning it was dry and we had broken overcast, the only change since is that the overcast is more heavy now. The glass has fallen to below 1003mb and the forecast is for a dry day of sunny intervals with the chance of a light shower around eight or nine o'clock this morning. The west wind will be brisk and gusts to over 45mph giving us a high of 19C and a low of 12C tonight with a wind chill of as much as -5C this afternoon. The outlook is for brighter and warmer weather over the weekend and into next week.

I've had a short walk to the Co-op and got some eating apples and peas.... We have sunny spells and light showers..
The wind isn't as strong as was forecast yet.....

[Stanley]

Yesterday turned out better than the forecast and the afternoon was quite pleasant. At 20:00 we had late sun. First thing this morning we had a breeze and broken cloudy overcast, it is still the same. The glass is up on 1010mb and the forecast is for a mostly dry day with sunny spells but a chance of light showers later this morning. The constant west wind is moderate and gusts to over 30mph at times giving us a high of 20C and a low of 8C tonight with a wind chill of -3C this afternoon. The outlook is for a three day spell of very warm sunny weather but then falling back to more normal temperatures.

We are being spoilt at the moment too.

[Stanley]

Those are some very acceptable figures Cathy. Things are looking up for you!

The light rain stopped around 10:30 and the sun came out so I have had a short walk.....

Yesterday afternoon tried to behave itself but the short sunny spells sometimes ended in light spatters of rain, you could hardly call them showers. At 20:00 we had some half hearted late sun. First thing this morning we were overcast but dry and it hasn't changed since. The glass is up on 1019mb and the forecast is for a dry sunny day. The constant SE wind will be light and gives us a high of 24C today and a low of 14C tonight. The outlook is for dry weather, even warmer tomorrow but then cooling down gradually to more seasonable values.

We’ve had rain overnight and it’s still drizzling just a bit.

[Gloria]

Just had large clap of thunder and it’s chucking it down

[Stanley]

No thunder here but we have constant rain.
I have looked at the lightning app and it's showing strikes out towards Ribchester.....

[Gloria]

We aren’t far from Ribchester, just at the edge of Longridge, and it is sooooo muggy here at the moment. Just been to Preston hospital and it was nothing like that there.

[Stanley]

We were lucky in Barlick Gloria, no sign of thunder as far as I detected and not muggy either.
Yesterday was cooler and fresher than forecast and the afternoon was quit cloudy but we had some welcome late sun by 20:00. First thing this morning it was calm and clear but I see now we have an overcast of broken high cloud. The glass is down again on 1005mb and the forecast is for clear sunny weather until noon when it will cloud over and we can expect rain in the afternoon. The southerly winds will be light to moderate and at noon when the rain arrives it will gust to 30mph. We can expect a high of 20C and a low tonight of 8C. The outlook is for bright sunny weather and similar temperatures to today except for Thursday which is forecast to be overcast and wet.

Yesterday afternoon the overcast turned to rain at around 16:00 and at 20:00 it was still damping. No late sun! First thing this morning it was calm and overcast but dry. It hasn't changed.

You're doing better than us Cathy.....

[Gloria]

Lovely sunny start to the day here. Just below us in the Ribble Valley is a blanket of mist, and it’s a thick wall of it, bet it’s fun going down the M6 at Preston.

[Stanley]

Sunny here in Barlick as well Gloria.....

Raining here, and it’s blowing your way Stanley.

It started at 07:00 Gloria and is still with us. I shall ignore it!

[Stanley]

I am back from my shopping. It's wet and windy out there.
I now have my meds, milk and a Panasonic electric razor.
I had noticed I was down to my last 30 toilet rolls so I have rectified that.
Very successful, I am glad I went.

We had mist for a while then overcast. Now the sun is shining and I shall go and post a letter. Back up and doing a load of washing. Just cooked this week's fried sweet potato chips and have given up on summer, I have gone back into a tee shirt and long sleeved shirt on top. I know when I'm beaten!
