Yes, quite difficult to achieve but today has managed to be worse than anything in the last few days. Steady rain, a cold wind off the North Sea and the temp varying between 4.5 and 6C. Currently steady rain at 4.7C At least by the weekend we will have lost the Easterly winds so perhaps warm rather than cold rain?

Lovely day here today ( before the easterly muck sets in) Around 11C but feeling warmer in the sun. Took a stroll in the woods just NW of the town and spotted two red squirrels. Always nice to see. Not sure at one point if they were playing or fighting when they eneded up on the same tree but they both settled down quickly. D80DC20A-9E23-41F2-84D6-08DCBC8FD86D.mov

edinburgh_1992 Not heavy here either but has been sleeting here at low levels for the last couple of hours despite the heaviest precipitation being offshore. Currently sleeting at1.8C. Inland snow lying down to around 200 mtrs and falling to lower. Here is the A 822 currently north of Crieff at just over 200 mtrs asl. edit. Not far off snow here now.

Been nice in the sunshine here today in lighter winds with just a couple of rogue showers. Those the type with large drops of rain which happened of course just as I started the first grass cut of the year. Noticed an active ants nest which I am sure is very early, Also bumble bees, a wasp and some midges.

Model Output Discussion - Spring Has Sprung
Norrance replied to Community Team's topic in Forecast Model Discussion
WINTRY WALES As it is quiet the off topic posts can stay for now. One thing that I noted is that despite the two record breaking events in Chine the overall winter temperatures in the same areas were well above average. Only really Northern Scandinavia and NW Russia in the NH had sustained under average temperatures over most of the whole winter. edit. Sorry other mods. -
If you had to lose one of the following weathers....

Definitely scorching sun for me and even more so if humid.with it. -
I had just moved down to London in 1979 so a cool and wet Summer 1980 there was probably what I was used to at home so it made no impact on me whatsoever. Overall I lived in London for four Summers and luckily none were anything like as hot and humid as even the cooler ones are now.

The gloom showed signs of breaking up for a while this morning but the cloud won out. Feeling colder than the current 7C with the breeze having veered round and strengthened a bit from yesterdays SSE to due East today. Hoping for but not really expecting a nicer day tomorrow in Edinburgh as heading off there to meet a few old pals for lunch and a few beers.

Met Office and BBC Weekly/Monthly Outlooks
Norrance replied to Blessed Weather's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
UK long range weather forecast Friday 8 Mar - Sunday 17 Mar A largely dry start to this period with variable cloud and just a few light showers, sunniest in the west. However, while such conditions will be maintained across the north, there is an increasing chance of more unsettled weather returning from the south or southwest during the first weekend, with spells of rain moving north and tending to weaken as they do so. This sets the broad pattern for the subsequent week, with periods or rain or showers in the south accompanied by strong winds at times, and brighter but occasionally showery conditions across the north. Temperatures are most likely to be close to normal, but perhaps mild at times in the south and, especially early on, locally rather cold in the north. Updated: 14:00 (UTC) on Sun 3 Mar 2024 Monday 18 Mar - Monday 1 Apr During the second half of March, pressure is likely to remain higher than average to the north or northwest of the UK, which would push the focus of unsettled weather further south than usual (especially early in this period), although there are signs that changeable weather patterns may return more widely later in the month. The greatest build-up of rain is therefore most likely to be in the south, with northern areas rather drier compared with normal. Temperatures will probably be near average overall, with some colder interludes most likely in the north and east.

Scottish-Irish Skier Have been to Val Thorens previously so can say that you would be guaranteed snow in the area and some pretty exciting skiing. We were there in March and the level snow was about 7 feet with the recent individual winter falls being identifiable where the road had been ploughed. While there we had one heavy fall and also experiences diamond dust in bright sunshine in very cold air up top. Incidentally I have skied Schladming twice with great conditions and Bad Gastein once so you were maybe unlucky. Schladming also had the bar that was open all night where you could go for a pizza (or more beer) when the night club closed. At least one person in our group who shall remain nameless (but may be known to at least one person that reads this) went straight to skiing from that pub one morning.
