South East and East Anglia weather discussion/Chat - 18th February onwards

[Milocation]

all I can observe is cumulus clouds followed by what I believe is a nimbostratus and then blue sky, this sequence just repeats and repeats and repeats. ALL I WANT IS THUNDER

[alexisj9]

Getting lot's of cumulus cloud today, just seem to be arriving bigger as the day goes on. First one with a few drops in now. Looks good enough to be called an lp. Not sure if we'll get anything thundery though. Just the normal april shower stuff.

Urgh.. Reading the MOD thread the desperation and anticipation of wanting it to snow this week is making me want to throw up. It's The end of April..... Get a Grip!!! 

Back to reality, felt pleasant in the sunshine today, stayed dry all day. Arctic blast Meto/BBC? What Arctic blast? 

The GFS 12z says good bye to the colder air come May with better prospects, still no real warmth though, hopefully that will change!!

Just give it time, it always does eventually

[Captain Shortwave]

Pretty chilly today with a few showers, not overly heavy and just rain. Given the breeze hasn't been too strong away from the showers then it hasn't felt too bad.

 

[alexisj9]

Had several more very light showers here, has felt rather chilly to be honest while the sun is covered by cloud though, milder when the suns out though. High of 9.2, so quite a bit off of recent temps, but certainly not cold. Temps did drop a few degrees during showers.

[Methuselah]

We had a shower of what I call 'spring hail'...something too soft to be summer hail but too hard to be graupel.

[Milocation]

Hey all,

Those charts were about as accurate all winter as 'my lottery numbers each week" = Nada

Just back from an evening run and I can almost put money on it that nothing other than rain will fall from the sky. 

Roll on May and some warmth

Your temps don't reflect having snow flakes mixed in with rain, sleet maybe 

[andreas]

I've signed in properly now! Yes, sleet - i.e. white when falling but not settling.

 

[TheGate]

Snowing here, mostly wet but settling on garden table. Temp is 2.7c.

Taking the kids on a fun run....they may go back to bed when they look outside
