Thats ok then Sarzwix, as long as its later on on Sunday, after teatime, then it can rain as much as you want! Before that I need to be on the plot, and tho I dont mind rain, its much more comfortable if its nice, warm and sunny!

I've just checked the BBC 5 day forcast!!
It says -6 oC for Thursday night!!!!

[Mrs Dobby]

Yes, I saw that too Nicos, tho Metcheck doesnt show it, but it does show snow next week!

[SarzWix]

Where's me rain for Monday gone ??? *much wailing*. It's not forecast til Thursday now!!

[Mrs Dobby]

No, not Thursday, it's my day off this week and I want to get some planting done at the plot! Cant we have the rain ordered for Tuesday or Wednesday instead please Sarah?

The met office 5 day for the Manchester area is (as of writing) for a decline in day and night temps with a 0c frost warning in effect for Wednesday 17th into Thursday 18th and severe -5 frost for Thursday 18th into Friday 19th. Day and night temps starting Monday 16th will be in a steady decline through the week although temps are expected to be at or above seasonal temps. The 5 day can change quite a lot as the days progress and I have known forecasts for very low drops in temps raise by as much 10c by the time the 24 hour forecast rolls up for that day. However it's worth keeping an eye on this as the last week highs have bud burst a lot of fruit so don't forget fleece gang!

Hi,

Update to the forecast as of today, frost warning is no longer in effect but tonights temp (17th) is expected to drop to 2c. The lowest temp after that will be 4 to 5c. As predicted the night temps for wednesday and thursday have climbed 5 and 10c but its worth keeping a close eye on these.

Just checked BBC forecast, looks like a lot of NW will have rain Sunday & heavy rain Monday, so if you have anything to plant out Saturday looks like the day to do it!

Hi Clifton Growers, glad it's rained a bit as well, I've had to water everything for the last few weeks. Looks like it's going to perk up again towards the end of the week though & we should have some sunshine.

[SarzWix]

At last, it's raining!!!

Checked the Metcheck, and the BBC sites - looks like May is going to be the new April, non-stop rain for at least the next week...!

Why is it always all or nothing, what's wrong with a general mixture, last week was havingn to rush around watering everything all the time and this week I'll be running between the house and greenhouse in between the heavy showers!
