    Are we the only place in the UK that hasn't got much sun today? This afternoon it's become very cloudy and can't see us getting any hotter than the 23C we got yesterday unless this cloud shifts. Thought we were on to get at least well into the mid 20's today. Hopefully we will get something thundery tonight to make up for it.

    Got a max of 52mph on the coast cliffs yesterday here using my handheld anemometer. The wind was constantly blowing in the 30's during the mid part of the afternoon.

    Got a max gust of 17mph at ground level in the garden however I went to the cliffs between Aberporth and Tresaith yesterday and had a gust of 52mph on my handheld anemometer. There was a small period of time where there were many gusts in the 40's.

    Hang on, is that for inland areas? Quite worrying if thats the case, I can say right now with trees in leaf, winds of that level are going to bring a lot of trees down.

    Only had one or two day's of thunder here so far this year. Going to be the worst year I can remember for thunderstorms if things don't change soon. Even last year had more thunder by now and that was a rubbish year in itself.

    It's interesting to think about why these two words were given for these different patterns as el Nino is the boy and La Nina is the girl in Spanish.

    Got a max gust of 35.7mph from the southeasterly yesterday up one of our hills with a 32mph gust and quite a few of 31mph and 30mph. Was expecting a bit more then this to be honest with most maps showing gusts in the 40's mph on many models for inland areas but I think it maybe because we are more sheltered from an Easterly or Southeasterly just like we are from Westerly's.

    Lack of storms has been the main reason i haven't liked this summer so far either to be honest even though for sun and dryness its been pretty good. Even the storm problem is just bad luck on our part because other places in the country have had a really good year so far and with tonnes of footage on this forum to prove it.

    The thundery showers we had here yesterday didn't happen until around 5:00PM or 6:00PM so there is still plenty of time.

    Got down to -11.8℃ last night!!!! The coldest temps I have ever witnessed was when we were living down in SouthWest England with a low of -12℃ or so back in the snowy and cold winter of 2010. Going by what we had last night we were only a few degrees off of having the coldest temperatures I have ever experienced. We can't run the taps upstairs at the moment as water isn't sinking down the plug holes.

    Just hit -10℃ here!!!!!!!
  12. wimblettben
    Well it did turn out colder than the other night with a low of -9.5℃ which now makes it the next coldest night of this spell so far. It was frosty through the whole night and clear with starry skies. Now it's sunny but still very frosty.
  13. wimblettben
    Currently -7℃ or so at the moment so its another very cold one. I wonder if we will get the coldest night of the year so far from this spell tonight. I would think we would given that the lowest a few nights ago was -7.9℃ and it is hovering around -7.5℃ to -7.6℃ out there currently with already a hard frost.

    Wonder If it's finally our turn to get snow tonight and not just a repeat of dangerous icy roads and paths from sleet and freezing rain
  15. wimblettben
    Still not had any snow here this evening, just been the odd sleet shower here or there but there hasn't been any precipitation in the last few hours. Hope the roads around here get gritted soon because the sleet from earlier hasn't melted and there are pockets of black ice in places as well which is not good. Heard a few cars earlier driving slow or struggling a bit to go up the road next to our house.
  16. wimblettben
    Been having on and off spits of rain last hour or so and in the last fifteen minutes there has been a brief couple of minutes of heavier falling of sleet. Wonder if we will get higher snow chances later if the temperatures continue to drop, but regardless of anything i think some icy patches on the roads are a given around here now.

    Just taken these appearing to our North and Northwest about fifteen to thirty minutes ago! Not sure if it means we will get anything of note from it though other than sleet or freezing rain, and thats if it even makes it here. Wouldn't be surprised if it has produced some thunder given the fact that there is clearly an anvil there on one of the clouds. Oh and it got down to -7.9℃ here in the garden last night resulting in a widespread frost by morning which looked really good in the clear sunshine skies.

    Just taken these appearing to our North and Northwest about ten to fifteen minutes ago! Not sure if it means we will get anything of note from it though other than sleet or freezing rain, and thats if it even makes it here. Wouldn't be surprised if it has produced some thunder given the fact that there is clearly an anvil there on one of the clouds.

    Got down to -7.9℃ last night so a bit colder then the other night.

    Got down to -7.9℃ last night so a bit colder then the other night. Currently -2.7℃ right now with still a widespread frost around which looks nice in the sunny and clear conditions.

    It reached -6.3℃ in the garden here overnight Tuesday 6th into Wednesday 7th which produced quite a display of frost by the morning. Wasn't as cold here last night and today though but looks like it was more southern parts of the UK that got the colder temperatures last night.

    Had a bit more closer thunder here around when that very brief but intense squall came through. One of the roads just below us in the village has a small area of flooding at the moment. Highest rainfall rate my weather station picked up was around 9mm/hr but I don't think its very accurate if the rain is too short lived.
