Despite the dire forecast, it's still bone dry in the Clapham / Ingleton area (as at mid afternoon Thursday 9th Sept.). Rivers are just dribbling along their beds.

Anyone elsewhere in the Dales had any amount of rain yet?

We had 0.5 mm last night and we had a few drops around 3pm.
Looks like it could rain any minute

Yeah - saw that on the rain radar. Looks like Castleton got clobbered too.

On the radar image it seems to keep drifting north towards us then keeps splitting to avoid sunny Clapham. (Normally it's t'other way round!)

Still dry here - and almost tea time.

There was quite heavy rain in Malhamdale from about 7pm (plus quite a bit of lightning).

Only 7.5 mm in the gauge near Clapham, Saturday morning (11th).

Quite a lot more rain fell slightly further east (Ribblesdale). Brants Gill is up noticeably but the Ribble itself doesn't seem to be too affected.

Anyone know what effect the rain's had on the two rivers in Ingleton?

Nearest river gauge is on the wenning at bentham bridge, which comes down from Clapham - it rose 10cm, but slowly dropping off now:

All looks a bit overcast around the area, but not raining:

That weather resource at Muker in Swaledale is a new on on me; thanks for pointing it out.
