apologies if already posted but convergence line showing slab bang down the Thames Estuary on the latest Fax chart for overnight

Dont think I have ever seen a dry line marked on a surface pressure chart for the UK, like there is to the west on this one.

Had about 15 minutes of light snow this morning followed and about half an hour of gruple late afternoon but apart from that been dry. Not holding my breath about getting any snow over the next couple of days, but at least should get some good frosts.

What are peoples thoughts on the conditions on Saturday evening? My son is going to the observatory at Greenwich with his cub pack to star gaze. A few days ago looked like might get some clear skies but thats looking pretty unlikely now?

Looks like some in the region may have something to look forward to overnight, I'm only at 50mASL so think I'm going to be kept waiting for my snow fix

As mentioned above another dull as dishwater morning this morning. For December so far had an average temperature of 5.3c and 49.3mm of rain.

Woke up to rain about 7.30, had about half hour of snow about 8 then back to rain, currently dry.

Out of Wednesday and Thursday, Thursday looks the better bet for anything wintry, although still marginal TBH. Wednesday uppers and dew points are the wrong side of marginal and freezing level is too high: Thursday evening uppers look better. But were precipitation is forecast dew points look too high and freezing level is also higher: So at the moment East Anglia and the far east of Kent look to be the areas that could see something wintery, although elevation above 250/300m would be needed and dew points need to be a couple of degrees lower than currently forecast for it to be snow rather than sleet. Further west looks dry.

Dropped down to just under freezing here last night with a hard frost up 10c now, nice and clear and sunny...a welcome break from the murk of the previous few days

Another dull grey start to the day today. Looks like today will see the last of the mild air with it turning colder, before the mild air returns early next week.

Yea the weather is not particularly exciting, having to put the heating on not because I am cold but because it is so damp outside that the washing will not dry and having to use radiators. Looks like could see some mist and fog overnight which will not help things....

You can change from imperial metric in the settings (cog icon on right-hand side of menu bar) don't even have to reload the chart, automatically switches it for you

Frustrating weekend comming up weather wise of the region. With the low to the east of us just close enough to feed showers into out area. I'm up London all weekend for Open House, looks like will need an umbrella whilst queuing!

At least tomorrow looks a bit better, brighter and dry for most, maybe just the odd scattered shower:

Yea i'm the same, got a week off work next week and would rather things were looking better. Not going away but if its raining then i'm stuck inside and got no excuse not to do the decorating that my wife is nagging me to do

Need to keep an eye on next Saturday, defiantly looking Autumnal at the moment.

Cetertainly looks an interesting book Oliver, will pick up a copy of the e book in a couple of days . just on a side note, you might want to update the info on the paperback page as looks out of date now:

Had a few rumbles here overnight but was just too far north to get anything else. 9.6mm of rain overnight though.
