Lashing down in Knowsley

Gloomy in Salford Quays, and that aint just the weather !

Wet and gloomy in St Helens, but then again it always is!

Been raining in Chester/Ellesmere Port area for the past half hour.

Pouring down in Warrington now .

And here

and I've got a 2.5 mile walk to go pick up my car from being serviced

might see if I can cadge a lift off someone in the office!

Light rain by 7.

Met Office reckons heavy all evening!

Absolutely lashing it down. All bets off now, could go either way. Nightmare!

Miserable grey skies but still dry here in Huddersfield it seems, was hoping for no rain back home

Gotta get used to this. I cannot remember a grand final without e weather.
