I didn't even realise that it was a regional word. It's just a word I'd use in general conversation. I was brought up in Yorkshire.

There’s a thunder and lightning storm out at sea from you at the moment Tam, then I think you’ll be getting some wet weather in the next day... time to batten down the hatches...

It was supposed to rain today and tomorrow and meant to be thunder storms today but nothing ...and weather forecast for tomorrow is very low chance of rain now.

It never seems accurate ..

The noun "dugs" means something quite different in English, often preceded by the adjective "shrunken".

It's definitely a Lancashire word. Not Yorkshire.

Two different meanings of mither in Northern England it means to bother or fuss over and in Scots it means to mother.

See mithering here:

But I think the word was relatively widespread in Northern England.

I think it's used in Yorkshire but the Lancs use it more. Be interested in who started it

According to t'internet it's Welsh. Seems Scotland it's to mother but northern England it's to bother

No the use of mither in Northern England is entirely different from how we Scots use it, they pronounce it myther we say mither. Myther used as to suggest being bothered as in irritated or being fussed over in a negative way our use of mither as in mither tongue (original language or dialect) or to be mithered by another person is to be shown care.
