We're at 135mm of rain so far for April at the nearest sepa station and 631mm for the year so far! Attempted to do some gardening between the downpours today and nearly lost my welly in the bog making some flower beds... Similar to others with some of the downpours containing hail with a quick cool down. Some more heavy showers tomorrow and Monday before a drier day again.

It must be spring: 4c in northern Scotland after recent snow and 18c in the south east of England. Some pretty heavy downpours moving through here too this afternoon. I didn't bother staying up to watch the snow last night but I think we ended up with a decent cover given it was still melting in the rain first thing this morning.

mardatha Lots more to come from a quick look at the models unfortunately, it's looking like a really wet week and into the weekend with lots of generally light rain interrupted by bands of heavy/torrential rain. I'm glad I managed to get the grass cut for the first time yesterday as I'm not sure when the next chance will be! Roll on my summer hols!

Clear blue skies and strong spring winter sunshine which feels pleasant. Yesterday was similar but with a bit more cloud. it's still very muddy underfoot. It would be nice if we could get this every day for at least a few weeks As @Northernlights mentioned winter isn't finished yet, and there is still the risk of some snow for the next couple of months... This winter has been a reminder to stay grounded when it comes to cold/snow forecasts in this country. The charts looked very cold from early December with many comments of 1947/63 in the model thread which I thankfully ignored after 20 years of experience on here (although the north did well and we managed some snow here so I can't complain too much) If we hadn't got that 3 or 4 inch fall early December I would be disappointed though particularly with the bust early Jan where the front went south.

Quinach apparently returning to normal conditions here yet it's been soggy for months I guess they must have testing lower down in the soil or estimated it from the rainfall stats. Doesn't feel like it's been dry here though! I'm other news, pea soup with drizzle, mist and fog for the last few days. We managed a few glimpses of sunshine at lunchtime today. It feels very much like spring now.

Hawesy Yeah I'm not expecting a widespread dumping of snow. We should see falling snow, and we are at just under 200m here so that's only around 0.5c difference in temp needed from the 300m estimate so there is still a chance here of some settling... It looks like a bit of a mix down south, looks largely like another bust but some places reporting snow. Just one to keep an eye on

jellybaby1969 I decided it was a good idea to go for a run at lunchtime and had the rain stinging my face, the wind felt that it was pushing be backwards at one point The squall line just went through here with absolutely torrential rain for a minute or two and with that the wind speeds have reduced down.
