Cool misty start. 6.2C

[ThundersnowDays]

Fog here this morning is clearing so hopefully it will give way to clear skies.

[Frosty hollows]

On twitter Fergie reckons the fog will clear by 10 to give a warm day with possible t/storms later!

Properly misty this morning! I saw it coming in on the webcam, very eerie. It was slowly creeping up the street like a river.
Nice and sunny after it cleared.

Temp: 14°C - Hum:  65% - Bar: 1007.42hPa - Wind: 8mph  E - SE @ 8mph.

looking nice and convective up there in the sky now......feeling pleasantly warm to boot.....very nice 

[MP-R]

Yep plenty of altocumulus floating about at the moment. Warming up too at 13C.

[Andy Bown]

First shower has gone up in the Bath area, expecting it to develop rapidly.

Pleasantly warm with sunny spells among Cumulus, Altocumulus and some Stratocumulus which is residual from the earlier mist/fog.

Showing white on the radar too so looks like a real cloudburst. Things are going to develop very quickly today I feel.

Now, this is when I need to have free time this afternoon to chase!

Sky looking very convective here too. Towering Cu and rapidly darkening. Warm too

[Frosty hollows]

Couple of thunderclaps....I think I'm going to get a soaking on my way back to work!

 

[William Grimsley]

The sea breeze which we've had for the most of the day has now brought low cloud in off the sea, ruining what could of been a pleasantly warm afternoon here.

had a beefy storm (for time of year) hour ago. Now very muggy and cloud starting to tower agaim

[jtay]

I can see all the bubbly stuff up over Salisbury Plain and some whispy stuff to the South/South West, but it's flippin' lovely here.

[stevofunnelcl]

heavy showers developing here, just had some hail falling, with big raindrops

[Lyn-M]

After a misty start, it's turned in to a glorious spring day with the temperature hitting 16.6°C earlier this afternoon.

[MP-R]

Looks like a bust for this location today unless something kicks off in the next few hours. May just have to do with a pleasantly warm evening with sunshine and light winds (life is hard!)

[knocker]

Pleasant day here, partly cloudy with Cu and Sc.

[MrNooo]

Misty first thing, sun broke through, heard 4 thunder claps around 2-30. Sky appeared to clear of convective clouds, but sat here typing now looking out of the window they are building up again, so maybe lucky although dont wish for any more rain. Quite humid out and very pleasant.

[fromey]

frustrating day, been to far south for anything decent, watched as at storm developed just a few miles north of me towards bath!!!

[Wilxy]

Cell to my ENE about to turn thundery!

[Frosty hollows]

18 months since I've seen a storm...we are usually on the periphery of decent convection,but we got lucky today.Such is the nature of t/storms,we had a torrential downpour at 1.30 and my OH working outdoors 5 miles up the road just got a few rumbles. More convective skies to my SE and still muggy. Maybe round 2 on its way

[Mapantz]

More days like this pls?! Topped out at 16.1°C making it the warmest day of the year.
