  1. A very pleasant sunny day here, despite a cold breeze. Some low overnight temperatures with frost as a reminder that it’s still early spring
  2. B87 Much of the SE had epic thunderstorms with rare daytime darkness on August 6th that year, which I remember. That was the highlight of the month
  3. Freeze Yes, a mate lives in Hove and I’ve really noticed the difference (cold onshore wind). Just a fleeting milder snap here, back to cloud and occasional rain
  4. A pleasant early spring day here, with some sunshine and temperatures reaching 17°C
  5. CryoraptorA303 ooh, good news that the warmer months are getting sunnier Still hundreds of hours away from where I’d like the figures to be, but any improvement on our generally woeful sunshine hours is welcome. I’ve been interested in the weather for about 42 years now and London winters have always been predominantly wet and gloomy, but at least they used to have a variety of weather types and temperatures, including an occasional snowfall. It’s certainly changed into something much more dreary and depressing, unfortunately. Perma-autumn is quite apt
  6. CryoraptorA303 Europe is a very cloudy continent, unfortunately, away from southern parts (like Mallorca). The UK is one of the cloudiest parts of a cloudy continent. Seems to be getting worse, too. Plus the UK appears to be going down the toilet at the moment. All very depressing, but I’m lucky that I only work there and live in a much saner country. As a keen gardener and home-grower, it’d be nice for some sunshine interspersed with a bit of useful rain, not this awful long run of poor weather
  7. raz.org.rain Yes, that wouldn’t be very pleasant. Don’t mind brief periods of humidity if they lead to thunderstorms, but otherwise, drier air is preferable. Greyhound81 I love cold, sunny weather in winter. Much preferable to this mild, wet onslaught.
  8. Summer8906 Horrible, if so. Am really hopeful of some above average sunshine months this year. In all seasons
  9. Kiwi Am not surprised by that. Crap weather, nothing works properly but mega expensive. Wonderful. Can’t help but feel that a long, hot summer awaits with all this rain
  10. Tipping it down yet again in west London. Think they’ll have to rename Heathrow, Swamprow
  11. The day went from bad to worse here, absolutely chucked it down frequently throughout the afternoon. Huge puddles and surface water everywhere. Poor worms can’t cope
  12. The grey, drizzly grot is back with a vengeance. Yawn
  13. I like snow but like thunderstorms and sunshine even more. Shame there’s no ‘pointless grey muck’ option, considering that’s what the UK does ad nauseum.
  14. Shaping up to be a very nice day here in London. Had an hour of pointless grey muck but it’s cleared off
  15. B87 Indeed. 24°C wouldn’t be too bad, but only if sunny. The trouble with these cool summer months is they are rarely sunny. A high pressure sat to the west giving us a northwesterly flow is usually a recipe for explosive infill with clearances appearing at 7pm. No thanks.
