Current obs on my station and its falling as freezing rain, can hear it on the house and path outside. Can’t see a lot as only one small old fashioned streetlight a few meters away but the leaves left on the tree in the front garden are falling off readily as the accumulating ice weighs them down! Kind of wish it was light to see it happen but equally relieved it’s dead of night as it’ll be lethal at the moment.
-
Ridiculous there’s no warning for the far south. It’s widely way below freezing!
-
Coldest night of the year here now at -3.7c, second lowest was February 9th at -3.6c Last low before that was -4.5c on December 12th last year.
-
Coldest since February here now, -2.4c Wonder how low it would have reached had the grim murk from the west not been approaching.
-
If only we could have a weather surprise for once, the precip slipping under the cold, giving some heavy snow to wake up to in the morning.
-
A very cold day, maximum just over freezing and already down to -0.3c. Looks like it’s been foggy all day up on the Downs. Very brisk on the seafront this morning, earned our warm drinks
-
Saw a few flakes this morning briefly, not settling of course but more snow than I saw the whole of last winter in that one small shower! Currently -1.0c and watching that blob incoming from the NE
-
Nice! I’m at work in London office next week and should be able to see it if I go up the top (Gherkin) Nothing here, just grey and coldish at 4c
-
First frost here too, not a lot but still nice to see
-
First snowflake icon of the season on MO 5 day forecast for me. Know it won’t happen but it’s early this year!
-
Scared to post anything at the moment in case it jinxes the whole situation. Also limiting myself to short bursts of model thread as it’s a bit too like a seesaw in there for my liking
-
Another unexpectedly rainy day, from the MO saying yesterday it’s be dry we ended up with 21.59mm! Locally quite a bit of surface water now whenever it rains. Came across a section of road I’d never seen flooded before but a small stream runs under the road there so I wonder if the drains are just oversaturated now.
-
Didn’t have a single flake fall all of last winter, yet SA get snow in summer. In all seriousness, that is crazy weather!
-
44.5mm of rain here today and chucking it down again.
-
Up to 43.99mm so far today - MO warning said up to 45mm at the most in their warning. Might just break 2 inches if it keeps it up for another 40 mins. Cool night last night though, down to 3.5c before the wind started up again

IMG_8464.mov It has gotten worse since I took those 15 mins ago. All local buses now suspended in Folkestone and dover
-
I see the end of the amber weather warning has been brought forward to midday and the area shrunk to Kent and Sussex
-
It’s gone crazy here last hour. Was woken in the night several times by the rain battering the windows and saw some lightning flashes. Pressure on my own station currently 959mb (have cross checked this with others in Folkestone and all reading 959 - 960)
-
Anyone central southern south coast are at the centre of the low at the moment so as you know, that means winds are calm for the moment.

We get it, you don’t want to go. Most of us don’t want to go to work either if that helps. Pressure down to 978 on my station, steadily dropping away

Yes, had a couple of noisy gusts since the rain arrived! The highest winds aren’t supposed to arrive until the early hours of the morning, so why people are already saying it’s all over/a bust etc I don’t know.

I think you’ll be ok and fair better than us on the south coast

An interesting post from an amateur French forecaster on Twitter, who mentions there could be a sting jet forming:
