It's been so mild this winter in western Europe generally speaking that we would probably need some very cold uppers in place at this time of the year to see low daytime temps, has felt more like late March down here. I can see night temps still being quite low next week, it would seem to me that it will be the last 2 days that will decide the fate of the February CET record.
Strong SE wind along the south coast, now veering more easterly, just started raining and temp up to 8c. Possibly almost 24 hours of PPN to come from this channel low, all rain of course south of the M4, another top up to PPN totals.
I remember having an old Weather Lore book when I was at school, probably printed well before my time in the 1940s/1950s, explained a lot about weather fronts, wind direction, air pressure. I remember for late winters it would say, beware in late winters pressure falling, SE/East winds off the cold continent, likelihood of widespread heavy snow particularly in the SE of the UK, with a picture of a village in Kent covered in thick snow. Joke!
