06.00-08.30 ; Winter - fog & hard frost 09.00-13.00 ; Spring - pleasant sunny spells 13.00-19.00 ; Autumn - gales & heavy rain So, summer tonight? -
Not sure what’s gone wrong today? Probably 90% of the available sunshine and very pleasant from 11.00-16.00! Lovely hard frost first thing too.
-
So pleased that the clearer conditions actually occurred during the daytime today! Plenty of sunshine and only a few brief showers between 09.30-16.00 !
-
Oh my it’s actually rather sunny! What a novelty! It has come after another novelty, a bit of the white stuff in very wet blobby style around 09.30 !
-
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when the sky started clearing at dusk! Stars shining well now, of course! The grand total of 4 dry days in February. The even grander total of 188mm !
-
The amount of cloud outside of the rain bands is pretty frustrating to be honest! Yesterday was cloudy before and after the rain band, with lightbulb sun visible for a while in the morning. Now today the rain band stopped 3+ hours ago yet it’s only now the lightbulb sun is visible. And it’s very unlikely to get brighter!
-
dr weather I saw it lightbulb style in the thickening cloud for about an hour this morning before the rain set in around 10.30 .
-
Lol and there’s the only shower of the day right at school run time!
-
This is the 3rd frosty morning in 4 days and looking at the radar it will be the 3rd to degenerate into a damp if not wet late morning! We simply cannot get a dry day. Even during yesterday (for all its sunshine) there were several showers!
-
As Beka mentions the wind is pretty unexpected. Extremely gusty from the NE. However on the positive side it has cleared the air and we have increasing amounts of sunshine.
-
We were very pleased that the rain held off until midday so our boy’s football was played in decent conditions. Last night got down to -1.2c and it was very frosty this morning.
-
This is actually infuriating. It is raining lightly and persistently yet the sun is shining hazily too.
-
Yet more rain when every forecast and app last night had a fine day with just the odd shower!
-
Do you see a crocodile or a ship? It’s been a very good cloud day.

Thank goodness all the showers are dying out before reaching here this morning. It’s meaning a bright day (so far) with decaying anvils passing overhead.
-
My boy just emptied 41mm out of my gauge which is from early yesterday onwards! February up to 167.5mm ! That’s almost 10x as much as last February !
-
Below 5c now and a very gusty WNW’ly picking up. Still pouring too!
-
Mother Nature absolutely nailed it! My postcode marker is pretty much under the heaviest 8.20 radar colour! School run time for us is 8.15-8.35!! Sun’s out now !!
-
Just when you think it can’t get any worse then you see this primed to turn up at school run time!!!!!!
-
Lol it’s looking dry until around 05.00! I expect the dry spell will include a clearer sky to allow a moonlit period after not even a hint of brightness all day! Then dull and wet through daylight tomorrow!
-
Dorsetbred jeez! There’s already been another 30mm or so today!
-
Thankfully unlike other places there was no drizzle this morning. Cloud has broken since mid morning with hazy sunshine since. Outdoor work done happily between 9-12 and everyone’s bedding drying on the line/airers now. Looks like being the first dry day since last Monday. Happy Andy today!

One word to describe this morning ; benign.
