      Our forecast yesterday was for rain overnight and into this morning. We ended up with no rain :fingers crossed: and the sun is trying to come out.

            We were pleasantly surprised with a 15 minute shower at 11.30 last night. Currently it is blue skies with a light breeze, a fresh 11c going to 20c and a fine day ahead.

              Cloudy, damp but bright enough. Forecast says 16c later, not so sure about that ...

                Drizzle, mizzle, mist and rain forevermore. Not much sun.

                Gave the green patio a good scrubbing yesterday as it was hot and sunny. A cup of bleach in a watering can of hot water and a stiff yard broom. Always works.

                Mild max 15c. Lawns growing away, but too wet to mow. Moss appearing.

                      Damp, drizzly and grey. Thank goodness for some Autumn leaves to cheer the mood.

                        No, that is the second front, first front went through here around dawn, just enough to lay the dust.
                        Not seen any dust for a while.:scratch::biggrin:

                          Decent rain overnight as forecast, 7mm, it's made a good start on washing in the lawn feed that I put down on Saturday after scarifying (just autumn feed, not weed/mosskiller, before anyone tells me I should've done it the other way round).

                          It's been fine all morning but there's more rain in the forecast for late afternoon/early evening so I must fetch in the washing before then. The rear mat from OH's car can stay out - it had to be scrubbed with pet stain stuff because he gave some friends a lift to/from the footie on Saturday and one of them trod in dog poo and didn't notice:yikes:. An extra rinse won't hurt it and it's forecast dry for the rest of the week. We were out yesterday so the offending article sat out in the garden until this morning.

                            Air feels damp now but no rain yet. I've still scheduled in some mowing after leaf blowing. :fingers crossed:

                              Persistent heavy drizzle with a lively breeze. Miserable for walking. :sad:

                                Rain overnight and woke to a typical November morning although a little early. Fog, drizzle and very grey. The fog cleared around noon but it's still a grey, damp afternoon. 11C/52F
