Quite frankly, any wind direction will do for me as long it's not a moist SWly. Looking forward to some drier days ahead and the chance to get cracking in the garden. Seems to have been quite a wild day for some, especially along the coasts - Aberdaron 70 mph, Aberporth 69 mph, Capel Curig 68 mph, Mumbles 61 mph, St Athan 60 mph, Pembrey Burrows 58 mph. By contrast, it's largely been a reasonable day round here, just a light shower at dusk and not more than a fresh breeze.

Wetterfrosch models at mo seem fickle - northlies for end of the month back on - can't make there mind up lol

Absolutely disgusting weather today, hail, sleet and a howling gale! April or back to January??!!

Hope so!!!

oh well cancel the cooler northerlies - seems the highs are gonna take over now - lots of dry and increasingly warmer weather!

Forecast tomorrow snow for some this morning on tv

It's been a nice day for a change! Crazy to think a few weeks ago we had that snow, today hazy sunshine and a high of 17°C, it felt very nice

Lucky you! Here, all I got was a couple of brief spells of hazy sunshine but mostly thick low cloud, managing no more than 11.3 C max. Getting tired of seeing people on TV enjoying spring like weather in so many parts of the country whilst still stuck in seemingly eternal autumn conditions. The joys of living between the sea and the mountains, eh!

Been a lovely spring day, sunny with a high of 20.4C, perfect spring day for me!

gonna be getting cold in about a weeks time latest gfs 12z run also prog snow for the beacons middle to late spring

medium term forecasters seem convinced that April will end with a cold blast and so does the gfs for about a week

andymusic I do hope so. It’s time to get out in the garden.

Crepuscular Ray Looking like a much better "dry" day tomorrow though but like I said cooler into the beginning of next week

Just ceaseless drizzle here, and my running rainfall total for the year has just passed a metre.

ANYWEATHER oh yes always the same, up to 11.8C now was 9c earlier.

Marcus_surfer looks like you’ve got the milder airmass moving , hence the advection fog ….

Fog, mist and drizzle sums up the day after heavy rain earlier. Like something out of a horror movie this weather is

andymusic currently warmer for sure, but either continuous mizzle or rain and more cloud , mizzle rain in forecast. Hey ho!

snefnug signs of some slighty warmer weather except for a couple of days next week but also dryer weather in the medium to longer term - hopefully!

Update on my race as a barometer of where we are. I've never seen Pembrey like it. We crossed about 3 rivers which are not rivers, just hollows. Knee deep. Deep mud in places. Just awful. And did 4km (twice) along the beach into 50mph crosswinds (awful). We always get caught up in anecdote over statistics. But I think all our anecdotes this year are spot in. Just the worst.

Will this rain never end? Hopes of being in sodden garden dashed yesterday as more sodd’ng rain tipped down. Wettest of wet dog walks too. Bah humbug!

10th Anniversary of (cyling) Battle on the Beach at Pembrey tomorrow. I've done probably 7 of them? Obviously none during Covid. I can recall one event being damp, but most of them being glorious and, remarkably, with an easterly (we travel NE up the beach then into the singletrack) and repeat. And, being on the beach/forest, it's always dry. For tomorrow's race the route has changed because the forest is largely flooded, which is pretty unprecedented even in the depths of winter. And it looks like we face a 49mph gusting SW'erly. Not in your face but enough to really make it a bit grindy!

We got to 50mph last here with the lashing rain it was quite a stormy night. More wind and rain to come.

60 mph is quite bad enough! Mixing units can happen to anyone. According to one report released after an investigation, one of the joint NASA/ESA Mars landers crashed because NASA was using metric measurements while ESA had decided to use imperial. On a more local note, at least the week of drier weather gave me a chance to strim the top off of most of the lawn. There’s no way I could have used the mower on it, though. I’d just have just ripped the grass out by its bedraggled roots.

Now who's a wally?Turns out that my extraordinary wind speeds are actually in km/h which took some coincident to reveal itself. Why didn't i think of that before? No idea when or how the units got changed and now i feel so embarrassed to appear so brain dead. Anyway, i still don't look forward to even the 60 mph gusts still consistently forecast for Saturday.
