If you had to lose one of the following weathers....

Scorching sun. No worries about 35c + heatwaves then! -
Interesting start to the day - was -1.1c a short while ago with plenty of frost and ice after yesterday afternoons rain. Then a band of small showers popped up off the coast and moved in, causing freezing rain for a short period and the temp to shoot up to 1c in a matter of minutes! I could see and hear the ice melting off the gutters and dropping onto the conservatory roof below! In fact, it’s going up so fast my weather station graph can’t keep up with the change, but since starting writing this post, it’s now over 3c. One of the fastest temp rises I’ve ever seen! I’ll add a photo in a bit of the graph when it’s caught up, in the meantime this was outside just over an hour ago: And here is the graph:

A rapid drop in temperature last night as the cold front with its associated squall line passed through at around 2am. Dropped from 10.4c at 1:54am to 7.4c at 2:04am and then 6.5c just another 10 minutes later - not bad! So jealous of the snow that’s going to fall elsewhere the next day or two. My poor leaky conservatory will turn into a sieve once again once the rain gets going.

If you put in the 5 day forecast for your area it shows you there’s a warning for each day and then click on it tells you it’s a wind warning. The amber for SE is a bit east of you. Your location: My location: Amber warning area:

Broken my cold record on my station here overnight! Forecast low was -2 but the lowest was a short while ago at -5.6c and is now -5.0c. Not bad for this locale! We have a small frost hollow effect here, being in a shallow dip, so there’s no wind at all. Up at my dad’s on the cliffs of Capel it’s not gotten below -4c as he’s not lost the breeze.

Also no frost here with the strong breeze - currently 0.7c but feeling much colder. I see there’s regional squabbling again in the model thread. Some saying it’s great at day 9 for snowmageddon (when will they learn) when M4 south is under rain. How they think it’s going to end that way I don’t know, let alone being so confident they start up with the “well it’s great for us” party. Edit: I note that when someone more southerly mentions it looks great for the north and they just hope it improves for south they still get shouted at!
