Southwest and Central Southern England - Weather Chat

[Andy Bown]

Stunning sunny day with Cirrus beginning to encroach from the West. The temp dipped a nudge below freezing this morning with -0.1c as the minimum and there were some icy surfaces due to the ground not drying after showers yesterday evening.

Yep, it's lovely out there. Let's hope for the same next Thursday, so I can get outside for a break from the in-laws.

[Mark Neal.]

Decent day here with Long sunny spells after the fog and frost cleared. Temp of 7.6c. Cloud thickening to the West ahead of the warm front.

A few ponderings from myself regarding the next couple of weeks, courtesy of the MOD thread which I thought may interest a few. Just don't get too carried away.

I don't think I can handle not seeing snow again this year. I have never seen a winter with no snow falling up on the highest hills here.....did that make sense?
I think over the next few weeks the back side of some cold fronts may produce a bit of wintriness on the hills here, a bit IMBY-ish I know but its lonely on this lil island!

Yes, if you don't like stairs then head over to the mad disc thread where you'll find a good few ramps for your viewing

Your comment about not getting carried away is a worthy one!

Just the steady plink plink plink sound of the rainfall on the window at the moment.

Quite a grey drab day otherwise at work with the rain moving in this evening. Currently trying not to get too caught up in the MOD thread excitement, too far out still...

[Mapantz]

A thoroughly wet evening. 5.3mm before midnight, 1mm at the moment- steady rain still. The temperature has certainly increased quickly though,

11.1C currently.

Mild and pants and winter continues as the last one left off so far 

[MP-R]

Much milder than of late, already 10.7C so the mildest day of the month so far. Yuck pretty much sums up the weather today. Thank heavens it's only going to last 2 days.

Some stunning charts out there for Christmas eve and beyond!! Obviously a very long way off and as we all know that can radically change , but what i like is the fact for the last two days the trend has been showing for some more cold/snowy weather a possibility now even for down here in somerset!

 

If the high can retrogress westward or stay in its current projected pattern then this could bode well for a postcard Christmas IMHO.

 

Now all of that might just fall flat but hey isn`t it nice to Dream about a White Christmas and seeing those charts brings that wish/feeling alive in the child within!

Does look more interesting but long way off and I have a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that if it comes to somerset it will be after the 2nd of January and last about a week.

12.2°C and grey with bits & pieces of drizzle. I could get the budgie smugglers on with this heat!

Cor Blimey, now I know why I've never been in this thread before, I am in the middle of my lunch and the topic/images of budgie smugglers comes up

9.5mm of rain overnight, but after a dark drizzly start the day has turned quite bright with some sunny spells between fast moving Stratocumulus which is bringing the odd drizzly 5 minutes on a fresh Westerly wind - typical warm sector weather for this area and currently 11.8c .

All kinds of things get aired over here in the west in our discussions, when the atmosphere's quiet!

[Evening thunder]

Same weather as at Mapants place and also 12.2c, not sure the rest will be the same though lol

 

Nice yesterday morning with fog in the Otter valley (first 3 pics) and over towards Exeter (other pics), before it turned cloudy later.

 

  

  

[ARTDEMOLE]

Cloudy. Damp. 10.9c. 

[ARTDEMOLE]

Maximum of 11.0c.  Raining now.

Horrible day today, really noticed it first thing when it seem to take ages before it got light, & when it did get light I was met with cloud any drizzle.

 

Give me a cold clear crisp day over this anytime.

 

Fingers crossed the cold predicted next week comes off.
