South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 03/03/2018 Onwards

[Mapantz]

A cloudy start here, and clouds around  now. Not the forecast that was shown to be..

Temp: 19.8°C 

[Lyn-M]

Took until half ten (BST) to clear here, now it's full, warm sunshine.

[matt111]

Blue skies and warmer than yesterday, could actually end up the warmest day of the year so far here if like yesterday there’s no sea breeze this afternoon. 22.4°C. 

[matt111]

Just reached 24.1°C making it the warmest day of the year so far here.  

[lettice]

What a lovely sunny and blue sky day today.
A high of 24.9c at 4pm

[Mapantz]

Managed 24.1°C today. I've been doing quite a bit of work in the garden, the sunshine has completely worn me out!

Just had a peep at the charts.. It could possibly be a record a new May record for sunshine down here.

Good evening to my neighbours in the next door region. I'm posting here because i'm done with the thread that covers my region

It's been a cracking good day here with plenty of sunshine and temperatures around 23c. I've managed to get a fair bit done in the garden and currently sitting outside enjoying a beer and the evening warmth. Long may it last.

[Rich_Clements]

what a stunning 2 days, cool in the mornings but it has soon warmed up

[matt111]

Still 20.6°C now, first time it’s been that high at this time for a while. 

[Wiltshire_snow_lover]

Last two days have just been wall to wall sunshine with hardly any clouds in the sky

Welcome!

Evening all, just popping by to say 'hello'. Hasn't it been a cracking day, more of the same please. Busy time of year for us gardeners but perfect weather for it today. My flowery bower at work is now the best coffee break spot with the wisteria in full bloom, it smells heavenly. The building site from last year is now a sunny terrace and the new lavender hedge I planted in the autumn is bursting with flower buds, despite the cold of the winter trying to finish it off, the back planting of alliums are all out and the hedgerows are perfect fluffy drifts of cow parsley. Oh how I love this time of year!

The Wisteria is looking mighty fine! Mine is only just  starting to blossom - it's always the second half of May, in to the first part of June for me. I do love it though, especially the smell. Mine splits my garden in to two halves, so you get the lovely scent as you walk under it.

[MP-R]

After the early mist cleared, it was another cracker, warmer than yesterday with a high of 22C. Something more autumnal tomorrow before warming up again in time for the weekend.

There's another huge one at work on the pergola and that's usually a bit later than the other one, couldn't tell you which variety either of them are. The perfume though.....oh it's heavenly, love a nice still day, it fills the entire garden when there's no wind.

Morning All, the cloud has returned, although temperatures held up in double figures overnight, currently 13.6C.

Indeed. In fact with lightbulb sun and out of the wind, it's almost humid feeling. Had a some very light rain for a time earlier.

Hey that's my saying ! (c)

[Dorsetbred]

Temperature down and around the expected mark of  13.6C as the cooler air started to invade the area around 11:15, and progressively cooled off as the air mixed over the area and generated a welcomed 1mm of rainfall.

So far, no precipitation whatsoever.  Gone from brightly overcast this morning to just grey this afternoon.

[Mapantz]

Light rain for about 3 hours here, totalling 3.2mm. I don't remember that being forecast?

Temp maxed at 16.3°C
