NOT the usual Moray Firth sparkling clear skies

5th April.  Heavy snow early then the thaw.

Bit different at this end of the UK. Good sunny spells with patchy cloud and a maximum temperature of 13.9C. Just 1 light, brief, drizzly shower.

Sennen at 15:20, facing into the wind, but still OK on the beach. It felt quite warm down in east facing Mousehole this afternoon.

Not looking so good for tomorrow.

15:20 should read 17:20.

Poor forecast the last 2 days. There was supposed to be a dark cloud at the time of the above photo.

This morning dark cloud & 2 raindrops for 09:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 & 13:00 with probability 80 or 90%. A quick look at the radar suggested otherwise, the early rain had cleared, & Wales was the place not to be. Nothing measurable here since 09:00 (now noon), just the odd spot, with sunny intervals. Had coffee sitting outside (in shelter from the wind).

St Ives harbour at noon, not great weather, but dry & much better than the persistent rain forecast.

These forecasts still need real life feedback. The rain radar shows no sign of anything more than a few spots for the next few hours.

Hefty showers throughout day here.

Total 8.6 mm, the most we've had in one day for 4 weeks. The last on 12 March when we had 6 mm.

Today we've had a showery morning, when the chance of rain was <5% (well 10% for noon). Only affecting the far tip of Cornwall admittedly, and we're so often out of step.

11.5mm of rain overnight, making the 09:00-0900 total the greatest since 23.0mm on 1st March. Another 2mm (approx) since.
