What a strange day. Got to 0.7° last night and took its sweet time warming up. Fast forward to lunch time and it gets to 11.9°, lovely in the sun, warm relative to what we're used to. It even reached 9 on the UV index. Then by 3pm it's dropped to 6°, and constant rain for the next 4 hours. 12.8mm in total, mostly isolated to my general area. Tipped it down for a time. Probably the humber estuary causing trouble with its convergence, as the wind changed direction to the east. It even caused a funnel cloud in May last year! This crazy weather isn't any good for my plants either, can't wait to get the veggies transplanted but this incoming plume seems short lived.

It went down to 0.7C last night here.The plant trays all went into the shed and conservatory They are getting a bit leggy they need to go into the ground.These cold nights keep turning up.It needs to stop raining a bit too.The ground needs to dry out and warm up. 0 C forcast for tonight. Will it be the last one ? I wouldn't bet on it.

I seldom say 'I'm glad to be going home' but this was one such occasion. In all my time coming to the NY coast and moors, I've seldom felt so cold and yes, I am well aware of how cold the area can be at this time of the year, given how cold the North Sea is. Yesterday morning, the forecast showers arrived at 8am and, although it brightened up later, the wind was bitingly cold. Back home this morning, it is a beautiful start to the day and no wind to peg the temperatures later on. I'll be back in NY in a couple of weeks.

Another frost this morning. Also feeling sorry for myself with a very heavy cold. Urgh. BL

3 hail showers this afternoon but plenty of sunshine in between. A ‘proper’ April showers day looking from the inside out, enough to lift the spirits….barely keeping about 5/6c though so still feeling like February when out in it. I’m still wearing my full winter kit when dog walking!

We had a hail shower about 8.15 as i was driving to work, short and sharp, snow/sleet showers up at cropton forest first thing according to reports, it really needs to warm up, log burner lit again tonight with it being 2°c outside currently.

mike57 Yes, that's what I heard. We had a hail storm on the moors at 9am and it then stayed dry but bitterly cold until 3pm when it unexpectedly rained really hard. The sun came out later and it has actually been a nice evening, with the cold wind dropping right off on the NY coast. Alas, it seems we may be getting showers from a feature from the North Sea early tomorrow which may stick around until late morning. I do not normally say it, but I am actually glad that I shall be heading back to Cheshire later tomorrow.

Derbyshire_snow Local FB groups are reporting sleet and wet snow but no snow on the ground.

A bit less rain but the air temperature is absolutely dire and we have cloudy nothingness

mike57 Would not be at all surprising there has been snow over the NYM this morning It is absolutely baltic here in Sheffield it feels more like December here then April it is absolutely vile.

A Face like Thunder Yes today has started with showers, which even had a few wintery bits in earlier according to Mrs Mike57. 5C, and a strong northerly wind this morning. I dont mind cold but this wind and wet just seems never ending this winter. Stove is lit and will be burning most of the day again.

A bit to my surprise, the sun came out at times during the afternoon, although still interspersed with mainly light showers. The main issue was the beastly wind on the coast which pegged temperatures drastically, with the East Yorkshire coast not getting above 5C today (BBC radio weather forecast). More of the same tomorrow it seems.

The good news is that it's finally stopped raining (for the moment) and started brightening up a bit, the bad news is that there's now a howling and cold N / NE wind on the coast.

And still it is raining! and the wind up again. The spinning on a coin is what is driving me mad, there’s no possibility of consistency in temperature. No one expects consistency in weather. Rain, sun, wind from one day to another in this country is a given, but is it too much to expect at this time of year some levelling out of temperature? Yes, May next week! Am resorting to reading the model threads to see when the jet stream might feel like shifting….am I losing my sanity?

Looked at the radar this morn and it looked like it would clear by lunch but NO, its kept on drizzling/raining all afternoon and through this evening, log burner lit again and its a week away from May, really starting to 'grind my gears' now....

What a miserable day on the NY moors. Despite the forecast of rain heading away south late morning, it continued to rain for most of the day and non-too warm either. Still raining on and off until recently. Can we hope for a drier day tomorrow? I certainly hope so. Edit - one thing that has not been a problem today is the wind, but it seems to be blowing up a bit now, which will not be a bad thing if it blows the main area of rain away..

RebsAbbo Yes the noise from overloaded clogged mowers was evident in our village yesterday afternoon. I should have cut ours yesterday, but also had loads of other jobs to do. Needless to say we are back to the same old wet today. Still raining at lunchtime but appears to have stopped now. Cold at 7c. Cycling is off until Thursday due to bike needing repairs, a walk at lunchtime resulted in me getting wet.

Hmmm, missed opportunity for getting in the garden yesterday but hey ho! Grey and light rain so far this morning…hopefully it’ll clear by this aft. @Wold Topperthink you should have underlined your word ‘again’ . However, impressive stack & presumably overflow? Thought you had a covered store? Keep up the good work!

Back on the NY moors and coast until Thursday. A pleasant enough afternoon, a bit of sunshine, cool despite the lack of wind, but dry which was welcome. Not sure it's going to last that way with rain forecast for tomorrow to move down from the North. Not sure how much we shall see near the coast, hopefully not a lot!

RebsAbbo de-stoning and ridging for spuds i see , twas a pleasant day on the Wolds today, i took advantage and spent the splitting logs, again....

Finally the bite in that wind has eased, a thoroughly pleasant spring day on the wolds. Not a lot of warmth to the sun yet but the absence of wind is enough for now….and finally the planting has begun in earnest this year

Not sure where that gale last night came from. Around 10pm really blowing hard, according to MetO max gust in Bridlington was 38mph, I would estimate 50mph + here. Not too bad this morning, some showers about but also some sun, but cold and still windy.

Real clear skies currently, could be a cold one tonight for April, log burner ticking away nicely...

A light frost again this morning Temp got down to 1.5C.Mrs Ponti was prepaired for it .Plants were under cover early. A Meteor 2.3 scan from 10.45 pass.

Brrrr, woke to a ground frost this morning. 2C and sunny now. BL
