Hi Chris this morning when I left it was about 3c and it's gradually crept up all day, a bit earlier it was 13.2c but now dropped, obviously a warm front has passed through

Well im nearly ready to hoist the white flag now guys.

What a shame, hopefully we will get a lovely summer and try it all again next November.

Very gusty here

[ManiaMuse]

Super mild sat outside at lunchtime even in the wind, bit of sun made it feel almost like Spring.

Beetham Tower was humming really loudly for a while this morning. Strange as it didn't do it on Friday and it stopped after 20 minutes or so, wind must have to be from a really specific direction or something.

Reading the model discussion and moan/banter threads is hilarious, think some there should take a break from watching the models for a while and enjoy the warmth!

[Chris.R]

A  dry and off and sunny day. temp falling now with a max earlier of 12.4c. Min overnight was 10.4c.

Winds been very fierce here!! Massive ceremic plant pot, a heavy one at that all smashed to smithereens!! Thanks Henry that was a lovely plant pot that was given to me from mum!

Winds definitely the theme of the day.  Gusty and sustained, Henry's quite slow moving so expected to peak later tonight into early tomorrow.  Central Belt of Scotland could be at risk of the most severe winds gusting up to 90mph, but it will be felt down here too.

I'm expecting this much vaunted 'cold' theme for Mid February will probably just end up 'at near average' or nothing out of the ordinary...hope i'm wrong, but everything 'amazing' seems to show it's hand at Day 10, and either get's watered down by the time D-Day comes along, or doesn't happen at all.

I'm expecting this much vaunted 'cold' theme for Mid February will probably just end up 'at near average' or nothing out of the ordinary...hope i'm wrong, but everything 'amazing' always never seems to show it's hand at Day 10, and either get's watered down by the time D-Day comes along, or doesn't happen at all.

Aye, a far cry from early and late 2010 when charts seemingly got upgraded closer to the time!

Beautiful nacreous clouds ,20 miles up

[itsnowjoke]

Dark here completely and very gusty been to the shop and struggled when the wind caught inside my hood lol

[itsnowjoke]

I've put tv on mute just so I can listen to the gusts as lamppost watching has completely gone out of the window 

Edited February 1, 2016 by itsnowjoke

[itsnowjoke]

Not gusting as much now oh well 

[iand61]

Breezy all day but the wind is starting to really get up here now so it looks like the local 5p carrier bags may be blowing around violently this evening.

some impressive looking clouds as it went dark as well.

 

[itsnowjoke]

Would rather have a thunder and lightening session and I don't like that lol it makes me feel uneasy

[pip22]

Just watched the BBC forecast she says 70mph gonna affect us.

Seen them nacreous clouds coming home from work, think its the first time i've ever seen them, slightly more rare than snow and thunderstorms.
