  1. July 2023-June 2024 total for the EWP is going to be something if this keeps up. If an annual total was to record the same as the current July 2023-to now total, it would put that year in the top 20 wettest years on record and we still have three months to go.
  2. Going to be another snowless March for my area. Since the frigid March of 2013; Marches 2014, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021 and now 2024 were snowless. March 2022 had just a few flakes falling right at the end of the month, Even before March 2013, Marches 2009, 2011 and 2012 were snowless. I don't recall seeing falling snow during March 2010.
  3. Good Friday 1987 was a superb day, remember that well, it was a better day than bulk of the days during the following summer.
  4. Pretty much a huge bust for many across the world considering the hype. Did anywhere get a decent display?
  5. A really potent frigid NEly hit the UK around the 24th-26th March 1898 brought what turned to be the severest wintry spell of 1898, nationwide. Comments from that period Addington: Strong gales blew on the 24th, 25th, 26th with showers of snow which formed great wreaths by the sides of hedges. Bury St Edmunds: Snow storms set in on 23rd and continued for 5 days. snow plough was used on the roads on 25th. Cheltenham: a blizzard Haslemere: Gale with snow, 8ft deep snow drifts in hollow lanes Lexden: First snow to lie this winter Ross, the Graig: Strong gale and violent squalls of snow Tenterden: 4/5 inches of snow at night London 24th March: 33°F, 30°F 25th March: 36°F, 33°F 26th March: 36°F, 35°F Manchester 24th March: 40°F, 34.2°F
  6. Another burst of spring warmth during the exceptionally warm February-May 1945, this time centred around 23rd/24th March. I noticed that wartime restrictions on weather data being released in newspapers immediately after an event was starting to relax as it was clear the war in Europe was soon to come to an end. Temperatures 23rd March Bath: max: 67°F Birmingham: 69°F Blackpool: 67°F Coventry: 67°F 10.5hrs of sunshine Edinburgh Royal Observatory: 68°F Glasgow, Springburn Park: 71°F 9hrs of sunshine Harborough: 66°F London: 73°F Lochaber: 69°F Manchester: 67°F 10.1hrs of sunshine Plymouth: 62.3°F West Kirby: 66°F 10hrs of sunshine 24th March Edinburgh Royal Observatory: 65°F Glasgow, Springburn Park: 66°F 7.3hrs of sunshine Lincoln: 69°F Manchester: 68°F 7.9hrs of sunshine Ullswater: 67°F
  7. I thought we might get away with it this March in terms of wetness, but it is going to be yet another wetter than average month.
  8. 21st March 1983 was a very active day with showers, thunderstorms, gales, hail, snow, whirlwinds and even a shower of sea shells.
  9. 20th March 1989, remember this well. It was the start of Easter school holidays, it was a Monday. Rain moved in from the west during the early afternoon and the temperatures were such that there was a possibility that this could turn to snow. As the afternoon went on, it gradually turned to snow and by 5pm, there was a covering of snow on the ground. Went out in the evening to make a snowman during a graupel and snow shower. It was the 2nd evaporative cooling snow event within a month (the other was 24th Feb)
