I personally love an Summer like 2009 just standard average summer fayre not terrible not poor by anymeans plenty of usable weather. But sunny and low twenties is perfect for me anyway. I often wonder how people on this forum would cope if we had bang average summer period like what we had between 2000/02 typical standard british summer i dread another 2022 style heatwave.

MIKE LEVITT MIKE LEVITT It snowed in early December couple of times and settled so not an snowless winter but certainly slim pickings again.

Nothing worse then cold and wet just grim January 2021 springs to mind cold rain at 3c Cant see anything wintry here in coming week just cold rain and sleet even if does snow wont settle. Hopefully luck will change but cant see it anything juicy on the models is always 10 plus days away and waters down as get near time.

Deep cold and snow laying on christmas day is rare but snow actually falling on big day itself isnt that rare. Im at sea level and it snowed on xmas day 93 and 95 sure it did in 96 aswell also 99 and 2000 though cant remember it laying 2001 snowed just before christmas same in 2003, 2005 just after then 2009 and 2010 had laying snow and snow on day to then was an big gap till 2020 where we got brief flurry that left the thinnest covering.

Couldnt really ask for better weather 19 but feels like mid twenties in the strong summer sun nice breeze to. Hopefully the heat will stay away as far as possible for rest of summer unlikely i know.

Rain turned to snow this morning around 5am got brief cover before quickly thawed in the strong March sunshine . Two short spells that have produced lying snow this week after another pretty much snowless winter far better weather wise then god awful boring Feb just endured. Really hard to get decent snowfall here in March or even in deepest winter these days slim pickings. Amazing difference being further inland and higher up does some great pics. What an contrast this afternoon from this morning felt warm in the strong March sunshine daffs out some tree's in blossom took this pic of an snowman hanging on surrounded by green.

If we cant get snow then frosty sunny weather will do better then relentless wind and rain being very benign so far lack of very stormy weather this winter which has being very welcome. On an side note its now nearly 10 years since we had an significant cold spell in January very damning stat and worrying trend since then had odd covering of snow in Jan which has largerly melted same day. Still few weeks left yet for that to change looks highly unlikely. Let see what Feburary brings long way to go yet but if we dont get any snow in Feb this will be the third winter in last 10 years without falling or lying snow another unwanted stat and even for our low lying location very unsual if not expectional sign of the times i guess least we got lying snow in November at time i thought this will be probably more then we get in winter might be right

Some much needed rain last few days chucking it down at min with hail thrown in to.

Another beautiful day not in an cloud in the sky 13c but feels much warmer perfect

Beautiful day here high of 17 c gone abit hazy now after clear blue skies here earlier. Still cant complain for early April

Heavy showers rattling through here swear some flakes mixed in might be wishful thinking. Either way being more frosts this month then in winter put together and sharp contrast from Wednesday to Friday when was soaking the sun up in garden.

Indoors? your aloud out go sit in the garden if possible it's beautiful out here lovely after an misersble wet stormy winter. Blossom and buds and nature etc responding. Shame this virus has taken the shine off it somewhat no pun intended.

Cheers suprised got that low this winter. 2014 was an stinker -9.0 bad times how depressing nowhere has got below -15 since 2013 seven years ago quite telling. I guess the 2018 low shows what can happen with the right set up in place and in South East England to.

While it does seem that way is that actually true ? Only two years ago we had widespread snow across the Uk. Plus the hot summer of 2018 hot spell last year to with the temperature record broken. This winter has being guff though for cold just rain wind and more rain and more wind never felt mild either because of the vile wind making it feel about 5 degrees colder that what it actually is. Last two days was beautiful here sunny and calm. Back to awful cold rain today at 3 degrees earlier just to rub it in cold but not cold enough for snow. Be interesting to note coldest temperature recorded this winter and how it compares to other winters ?

Cold rain 3 degrees vile after two lovely sunny days, last few days of winter ending on an torrid note quite fitting. Couldnt be more different from this time two years ago. Roll on spring and some dry weather hopefully
