  1. Bogman had to encourage a massive bumblebee to go outside again on Sunday after it flew in through an open window. Seen several others buzzing around outside this week. Minimum temperature was 11.6 last night. Currently 14.5. Feels more like mid April than mid February.
  2. TEITS I remember sometime in 2000s in our region the forecast was for 15cms of snow. Greater Anglia cancelled all their trains and the BBC had reporters outside all across the region reporting on the snow except there wasn't any and all the reporters were just standing in the rain. I think they may have found half a cm of slush in Norfolk somewhere but that was it. There was also an occasion in the mid 90s where the forecast was for 15cms of snow to fall pushing up from the south. I remember listening to the local BBC forecaster on the radio every hour who kept insisting the snow was coming despite nothing falling from the sky. All morning this happened until eventually early afternoon they said rest of the day mainly dry just bits and pieces of rain or drizzle. Didn't even mention the snow they forecast that didn't materialise. Almost as if they never forecast it in the first place.
  3. Ali1977 most likely some will move it south and some north and we'll be none the wiser.
  4. throwoff yes despite all the promising background signals, teleconnections, battered vortex, tealeaves, seaweed, uncle Tom Cobley 'n all. Something somewhere has overridden all that, confounded all the predictions and delivered us another rubbish 'winter'. Probably a butterfly farting in the Amazon rainforest or something. So the much predicted weather change is coming. For us just looks like going from mild and windy to average and wet. Still at least we will lose the hideous warm nights. Sorry for the rant but I've picked up that hideous virus that's been doing the rounds and am currently confined to bed. Not covid I feel much worse than when I did have covid. The models and the actual weather are doing nothing to aid my recovery.
  5. As expected, after a very mild day yesterday, the temperature didn't fall below 10 last night 10.2 was the lowest. So, in keeping with the last 25 years, an early date for this to occur. Another very mild day today, 13.4. still 12.7 at nearly 6 in the evening, in the middle of winter. Crazy.
  6. CoventryWeather I think that was the case in January as well and yet it still ended up in France.
  7. Apparently ECM has snow event for Shetland, GFS for the North of England and the UKMO for the Southern Half of England for next Thursday/Friday. We all know it will end up in France though
  8. Looks like my 10 degrees minimum benchmark could be hit in the next few nights. Both Friday and Saturday nights currently forecast minimum temps of 10.
  9. ChillyJuju Don't swap the duvet anymore 4 tog all year round for us. Was just too hot under a 10 tog. Always have the window open as well. Last time we had a thicker duvet on was 2021 but that was because the heating was busted. Before that was during the 2018 BFTE. Maybe it's just a getting older thing. Used to swap every Autumn and back in the late spring but find in just too warm at night now.
