Here is an interesting viewpoint on climate change: http://www.drroyspencer.com/2014/02/95-of-climate-models-agree-the-observations-must-be-wrong/

Rain shower just blown through with bright sunshine again - must be April.

Temperature now 4.8C/3.2C (+1.5C/hour). After the rain cleared there was a nice ray of sunshine but now thick and threatening cloud has rolled in again

Yeah if you really want scundered BMW turn on Ken Bruce on Radio 2 and listen to Sally Traffic with her road and snow reports!

Catch some women are just insatiable!

Heavy rain as expected here. Temperature +2.8C/+1.8C and 2.8mm of rain since 06:30.

Nice charts Catch and BUS. Minimum last night was +1.1C. Then 8.6mm of rain from just before 01:00 until 04:00 so fairly heavy with the temperature climbing to +3.4C just before it started. Currently +4.9C and 100% cloud cover after early sunshine.

Nasty!

From The METO: Red sky at night"Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning" first appeared in the bible in the Gospel of Matthew(Ed. Matthew 16:2-3, Jesus speaking). It is an old weather saying often used at sunrise and sunset to signify the changing sky and originally known to help the shepherds prepare for the next day's weather. Despite there being global variations in this saying such as "Red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailors warning", the scientific understanding behind such occurrences remain the same. Why does red sky appear at sunrise and sunset?The saying is most reliable when weather systems predominantly come from the west as they do in the UK. "Red sky at night, shepherds delight" can often be proven true, since red sky at night means fair weather is generally headed towards you. A red sky appears when dust and small particles are trapped in the atmosphere by high pressure. This scatters blue light and leaving only red light to give the sky its notable appearance. A red sky at sunset means high pressure is moving in from the west so therefore the next day will usually be dry and pleasant. "Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning" means a red sky appears due to the high pressure weather system having already moved east meaning the good weather has passed, most likely making way for a wet and windy low pressure system.

On Radio 4 at 06:05 Darren Bett said "unfortunately there is due to be no pattern change to the weather in the next week perhaps two weeks."

Today is Candlemas Day and folklore suggests "if its fair and bright winter will have another fight". For the uninitiated Candlemas Day is the Christian commemoration of the presentation of Jesus in the Temple at Jerusalem and the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary as ordained in the Jewish Law (Torah) by Yahweh the God of Israel in Leviticus 12. It is known in the States as Groundhog Day and Punxsutawney Phil has indeed popped out of his burrow this Sunday morning, predicting six more weeks of Winter - ie. rain and gales! http://www.usatoday....y-phil/5101379/ Today we are halfway between the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox ie. Midwinter. It also coincides with Imbolic the ancient Pagan Festival. If Candlemas Day be fair and bright Winter will have another fight. If Candlemas Day brings cloud and rain, Winter won't come again. If Candlemas Day be dry and fair, The half o the winter's to come and mair; If Candlemas Day be wet and foul, The half o the winter's gane at Yule.
