About This Group

A new place for those in the Southeast of England, London and East Anglia to chat about the weather and their daily lives.
  1. What's new in this group
  2. snowrye Saw your words & went straight to radar and it indeed shows snow in Dartmoor. Not the only place either, Lake District on the tops and the Welsh are getting in on the action
  3. I've not posted in a long time but can relate to some of the earlier posts about this seemingly never ending spell of overcast skies, frequent rain and dismal lack of any real sunshine so far this year. Perhaps my memory is fading in old age but to me this seems like one of the wettest and sunless starts to the year here in this corner of the South East for some time. It's not particularly cold in the overall scheme of things but here we are almost at the end of March and so far I don't think the temperature has even reached the 60's F yet, flatlining around 10 to12c day after day with one or two slight lurches into 14c territory. In the 9 years I've lived here on the South Coast this is the first year I've not at least sat out in the garden or on the seafront and felt any real warmth or started to get a bit of a tan. Temperatures aside, it's the absence of sunshine which is really noticeable. Months of seemingly endless overcast skies have a debilitating effect on the mind for me personally and I know I'm not the only one feeling that way. Moan over. Max today was 11c, zero sun and winds gusting to 30mph
  4. Froze were the Days lol I was about to visit the forum to comment on this. The meto app has heavy rain billed for now but it’s dry and patchy sun.
  5. Another accurate forecast for today from the BBC website...as of Sunday they had today cloudy with continuous rain throughout and outside...
  6. Neilsouth it's chilly, very normal temps for March at the moment, if anything, a bit below average for the SE. Yesterday was 9c max and 4c min. Today is 11c max and 3c min tonight. Regardless, average temps in March = pretty cold. Definitely jacket weather at minimum, coat weather depending on wind and personal tolerance. Mild in March for me is anything over 13/14c and sunny. Last Thursday for example. You're bang on btw about actual temps vs perception of the temps based on rainfall, cloud cover, wind levels etc. it was one of the main reasons why the whole argument of "but the CET was around mean/average temps!" for July 2023 was so frustrating to me. It just straight-up ignores the fact that A) most of the month was plagued by cloudy conditions and many days were rainy, and B) CET and mean temps are strongly affected by nighttime temps, so mild nights make a month look much warmer on paper even if 99% of us don't give a single monkey's about how mild it is at 3am because we are in bed.
  7. Eagle Eye But the issue I have with that is, with most of March being cloudy and wet. They never use the "FEELS LIKE" indication unless the temps are below. The feel difference between 13C in calm sunny days and 13C under cloud, wind and rain is stark. Never really tells the whole story, which is why I've always had an issue with it.
  8. Neilsouth Thats becuase it's below average right now. However going through March it was above average. March is a cold month, we had April-May temperatures quite a lot of the time.
  9. While the beeb/met keep peddling the climate change agenda "MILD", it's once again feeling COLD. In fact so far since last year say Oct, there's been ONCE i've not worn my coat. Hate it
  10. We have come just south of Bordeaux, France in the hope of some better weather for Easter. I have just watched the ECMWF predictions and the whole of Western Europe looks dire! This huge depression comes in across us all and then stalls over the UK essentially as a vast unwanted Easter egg of rain. So it's not going to be any drier where we are - the one good bit is that when the sun DOES shine it's a bit more powerful.
  11. Definitely an April shower sorted of day here. Come over all dark suddenly and we've got a little squall going through.
