Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[tug benson]

Looks stunning from my work in Livingston, the weather app on my phone says it's to get wet this afternoon, am struggling to believe that app when am looking out the window and all I can see is a big blue sky without a cloud in it

http://forecast.io never lies. Rain clouds the exact shape of Great Britain are apparently going to form this afternoon and refuse to move before they dissipate. Hmm.

Stunning morning in Central Scotland, all you commuters would have had a great ride into work this morning.

Didn't get up in time

Yep, I commuted by bike for the second day in a row for the first time ever! Forecast looks slightly dodgy for the return trip though.

I don't believe this afternoon will bring anything more than light showers

That's what the man from the met office said yesterday as I set off, in the dry, for my commute. 8 miles later I hit a hail storm and heavy rain. After 14 miles I squelched into work . It's been showering heavily at times in Greenock ('nuff said) this afternoon. It better dry up before 5 o'clock!

Thunder and lightening now in rosyth . Locals putting out buckets to capture fresh water

You aint gonna believe this, it has been a cracking day in Port Glasgow..
One slight shower around 3 ish...
What a difference 4 or 5 mls east.

My mate went out for a cycle from (dry) Greenock, and came back wet! He had been up "the port" and got caught in that very shower. Must have followed him back to Greenock . The sun is out now, but just wait until 5 .

It's only fair that you define "cracking day", for the non local, in relation to Port Glasgow

I work outside...( today was weedkiller application)
any day with only one shower is cracking for the Inverclyde area..
Mind you I use cracking if it only pours for 12 hours per day
Port Glasgow has one, nay two good points and both leave the town one heading west and the other east

I checked the Met Office app for this area
and it was to be sunny intervals and then around 12 to 1ish rain showers....

Got home, via Loch Thom, and it was sunny all the way!

Back to weather forecasting school, methinks.

Wonderful thunder and lightning this a'noon, most a bit north of Embra - Forth must be pretty full by now.

Could see the thunder/rain clouds over Edinburgh way when i was cycling around Stirling the night
