Torrential now, that's 22 hours of continuous rain, the heaviest stuff looks currently North of Manc

  Goldilocks weather is what I need!  I’m helping my daughter put up a wire netting fence to keep her chickens off the veg patch!  

---

2 horrendous days in the Peak District. 48 hours of heavy rain and cold!

---

Dry and fairy bright down here today with only 25mm of rain so far this month!
However I feel that total will go up over the next few days....

---

Still torrential with the band thickening again to the South.

 

---

This has now been the wettest calendar day I've ever recorded. I'm up to 61.8mm since midnight and rain is still coming down fast and hard. 🌧️

---

56.4mm rain since midnight last night. If you add Saturday`s rain that makes a total of 71.2mm. Absolutely crazy weather!

---

Yes it’s fair to say it hasn’t been the best weekend in Manchester. :D

 

---

It could be worse Joe it could have been cloudy for a lot of the day like it was here. Worst Sunday since the vile February the 30th 1327.

 

---

I suppose I should say that today has been the cloudiest day since yesterday!

---

24 hours and still going, I can't remember an occurance where a band that has been around for so long is still broadening and in some areas intensfying.

 

---

Getting serious now. 

Flood warnings for Greater Manchester

https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/warnings?location=Greater+Manchester

 

Flood sirens sounding at Todmorden

LOL!!!!

Yes seriously bad here this evening. 

A lot of weekend plans will have been completely ruined/rained off.

I’ve just travelled back from Yorkshire and the M62 was more like a river than a motorway. 

---

There are posts on Facebook of flood sirens going off. The rain was bad down this way yesterday but looks horrendous up north. Lots of floods it’s seems.

On another note, I’d question whether the yellow warning from the Metoffice is sufficient

---

I think an Amber warning would have been more appropriate for NW England today. 

---

Yes I would agree. The stationary nature and intensity were well-modelled.

---

One of the wetttest days of weather I remember. Absolutely abysmal. It is still coming down

Rochdale weather station reporting 86.6mm since midnight

Rostherne 38.3mm since midnight

OK, I'm a few miles west of you two, but we've not had anything like the volumes of rain just a little further east has had. Yes, it's rained for much of the last 48 hours, but mostly just drizzle, with the odd hour or two of dry - although it has been intermittently 'moderate' the last hour or so.

Looking on the radar history, there's a pronounced gap of lighter/patchy PPN between two bands of heavier stuff.

 

---

 

Maybe I'm just being dramatic because it's been relatively dry lately and I've been soaked a lot repeatedly today. I don't know

 

Really has been quite bad round these parts today. Not like 2007 where we got off lightly here whilst Western parts got a deluge. Although the rain has been pulsing SE to NW the wind has been from the NW meaning no rain shadow here. 

---

 

Don't be harsh on yourself , there's been a definite area of lighter & more patchy stuff between two bands of heavier PPN. I've seen the pictures of flooding round Manchester, and the boundary between 'lots of rain' and 'persistent but much lighter' is a fine one. It's also one that hasn't seemed to move much so, if you're under the heavier stuff, you're under it for a while.

What looked to be at long last a wet weekend for the east for a change and us westerners enjoying a weekend has ended up in yet another deluge for us to wipe our weekend plans as a result.

Was planning on playing golf today and instead of locally - most courses were closed as waterlogged - i ended up driving an hr to Llandudno where they had only had showers. It took to colwyn bay before the rain eased back. Played a full round before the heavens opened and had the pleasure of driving back through torrential driving rain.

Northwest England gets all the rain on an easterly... never when its snow.

 

Annoyingly... we are expecting 5o get more heavy prolonged rainfall on tuesday whilst - yet again - the rest of the country misses out. Leapfrogging everywhere else and sitting over us.

---

What a phenomenally wet day!

---

40mm of rain has fallen here between midnight and midnight. A really wet day. 

It's just about petering out now. Total rainfall from this feature- 63mm. Over 100mm for the month now. This added to 150mm last month.

Wetter at this point in the summer here than 2012 was.
