Thanks @*Stormforce~beka* it was a cracking day. This morning starting off damp after the overnight rain, with the low of 6.8°C at: 07:08, currently 9.9°C, RH92% and a light breeze in from the WSW, with a few clouds at an altitude of 1,700 ft. From Above, the next inbound front showing clearly, with a few deeply embedded cells over the SW approaches On Golden sands

Morning All, the morning kick off with 100% wall to wall blue skies, which have since downgraded with a few towering cumulus at an altitude of 1,500 ft and scattered clouds at an altitude of 2,000 ft. Seems as though the showers are already firing up inland (around Salisbury) and a nice bow over the Devon / Dorset border adding more rain to those that received it yesterday. From Above, the inland showers forming and the bow over the Devon/Dorset border showing nicely On Golden sands, the sand has returned

I also knew with that tank full I'd make Edinburgh easily. I also managed to fill up at Tebay, to get back in the car and unknowingly had a wasp to my shirt, sat in the car and felt an amazing "ouch" moment. So I suffered for the 4 days I was in Edinburgh with a wasp sting. Never to be forgotten!

Andy make the most of it, it looks unlikely to last long: Met Office Outlook Wednesday 3 Apr - Friday 12 Apr The ongoing unsettled spell of weather seems likely to continue through the first few weeks of April. Initially, the heaviest and most frequent spells of rain and showers are likely to be across southern parts of the UK. Often windy, especially in the south and west. Saturday 13 Apr - Saturday 27 Apr Through mid to late April, there is no strong signal for any one particular weather pattern to dominate over another. As such, further rain and showers are likely at times, but there is also a reasonable chance of some drier and sunnier spells of weather. So wellies and waders to the fore, for a while longer!

Morning All, as noted a fine BLUE sky earlier this morning, now filling with some spring like Cu. The overnight clear sky allowed the temperature to drop to 3.7°C at: 06:37, currently 13.3°C, RH72% and a light breeze from the SW with scattered clouds at an altitude of 1,800 ft. From Above, the bands of showers over Devon and Cornwall showing nicely. On Golden sands, looking a little busier today.

Tad blowy with Hurst Castle having these figures Gusting 69mph as suggested in the Met Office forecast. Parkstone yacht club in Poole harbour showing an increasing wind speed: Lots of broken branches down in the area, and one place I went in to had to manually operate the sliding doors to prevent the wind causing damage. Not a lot of beach left:

Morning All a nice sunny start to the day (I am talking about hours ago mind you) albeit brief, before the deluge started. A cooler night with the low of 2.8°C at: 03:48, currently 6.2°C , RH93% and a freshening breeze in the S - SSE. From Above On Golden sands, the beach has all but disappeared again.
