South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 09/12/2017 onwards

I feel quite lucky I've seen a snow flake before Christmas, but what's been driving me mad is the minute snow shows up for up north the mad thread goes into meltdown then on the other hand if snow somehow shows up for us lot down here they all start chucking their dummies rattles and nappies out the pram . It drives me potty . I keep saying to myself I will stay away from the mad thread which last all of an hour before I have to go in and read through what's being said . I know I do it to myself every time. OK rant over back to having a giggle at what you guys are saying.

Temp reached a max of only 4c during daylight hours here today; up to 8c now.

It's a bit like watching "Miracle on 34th Street", you know the story, you the characters, and you certainly know the outcome....no miracle...but is there a twist.....

Yes. A twist of the knife every time it snows north of the M4 

[matt111]

Temperature still steadily rising as it's been doing all day, now up to 8.9°C with the rain not far away.

[matt111]

Just as @Mapantz and @Dorsetbred said, the rains breaking up. 

[Ciderwithrosie]

The rain is lashing down here at the moment , which was quite fun . 

Very dark and glooomy today in all sorts of ways . As I was driving to Exeter this afternoon  the temperature rose and by 5.30 it was 9C . 

[Dorsetbred]

Mornin' All, currently 3.1°C and a clear night sky with Jupiter sat next t' moon. Some mist rolling off the heath this morning after last nights rainfall, which amounted to hardly anything, less than 1mm.

[Andy Bown]

It may have only been 2 days of damp gloom but it seemed longer! Such a relief to open curtains and see the crescent moon!

[knocker]

Overnight rain long gone and a nice clear morning with some Ci. Little wind and temp 5C

[khodds]

Ah! A glimmer of sky and it already seems brighter today than previous days! Lovely misty morning 4.5c

Although the mendips still look shrouded in gloom from my window ?

[jethro]

Morning all, it's not a clear sky here but there are breaks in the cloud and I can see bits of blue :-) However, it's not misty or murky so the cloud base must have lifted, that's akin to a minor miracle around these parts. Hopefully it'll clear as the day wears on but it's already a vast improvement on the last few days

[jethro]

OMG I can see the sun!

What a great opportunity... I had 2 weeks clearing out and painting the inside of a boat on Northam Quay in Southampton.

We got a Rugby shirt at the end of it.

[matt111]

Different start to the day to the last few days. That yellow thing in the sky has appeared again ☀️ 

Yellow warning for fog just been issued for overnight and into tomorrow. 

[ARTDEMOLE]

Nice to see the sun with a few scattered clouds, not that we shall see anything other than the fog on Thursday. 7.0c. Humidity 93%rh. 

[Rich_Clements]

A very foggy commute this morning, it's still foggy here in Gloucester but feeling milder than of late.

[Dorsetbred]

Sunshine is very pleasant but it confuses the heck out of the office aircon, it's now 26.5C and still climbing today...

[knocker]

Cracking morning but come over a bit cloudy of late with Ci and small Cu. Arh, just had a look at the Dundee sat. and we are right on the edge of the cloud from the system to the west at 1300

Hope Knocker’s animal friend remembered to stock up on nuts. That lucky squirrel

Lovely satellite shot there knocker!

Much better day today. Up to 8C, no wind with almost unbroken sunshine. Shame I've been cooped up working on a dissertation for most of it.

[Andy Bown]

First park visit of 2018 for me and my boy, now home playing in the garden. Well he's playing and pottering around and I'm squeezed into the one available sunny corner sat on a chair drinking tea!! 

[knocker]

The Ci, probably more Cs, has thickened and become much more extensive in the last hour.

[matt111]

Hope you’ve all enjoyed the nicer weather. Meanwhile I’ve been in bed all day. 

Sunny all day for a change and just about reached double figures earlier with a high of 10.1°C.
