While not far away it’s around 4°C as it’s been most of the day, here it’s risen to 6.3°C ahead of approaching rain. Nothing but rain

Finally sounds like the MetO are on board with regards to snow chances tomorrow morning / afternoon. Before it was more of a rain event but looks like some of us will see our first flakes tomorrow

"Showers turning to sleet and snow even to low levels"

In the last 5 minutes, the back edge of the rain has turned readily to rain/snow so possible some surprises in the morning?

What's everyone's thoughts on snow chances tomorrow? I reckon we'll see sod all as usual.

If it's anything like right now it's raining and 5.2°C, it would have to drop a fair few degrees to do anything different down here..(Apologies for the IMBY comment)

I'm hoping this is right, can't see it though but never know. 

[Mapantz]

For here it looks to be circa 1am when the air temp takes a tumble and wind direction changes. Currently 6.7°C.

I prefer that to the one @Mapantz posted in the other thread.  

[matt111]

Up to 7.0°C now.

It's probably a similar temperature here. Just subscribed to NW radar so I can track any potential snow. Last time I did that I think Wales and the west country done well.

[CheesepuffScott]

Just had a heavy shower. Temp got down to 3.6°C but now 3.9°C and rising

[matt111]

Tropical 7.2°C here  

Not that it feels particularly tropical.

Gone up from 5.2°C, now at 6.5°C with rain imminent.

[Wilxy]

5.3°c, 87%RH, Dew 3°c

Finally some interesting weather on the way for many tomorrow with quite a mixture of showers on the way, better than the boring weather we have been having since xmas!

[CheesepuffScott]

I'm lagging behind at 4.3°C with light rain!

[Leon1]

Band of rain looks very heavy in places actually so let's hope for some evaporative cooling!

Unlikely - the stronger winds associated with it will have a negative impact on evaporative cooling.

[matt111]

A bit of light rain just now for a few minutes. Not rising as quickly now but still way higher than most at 7.4°C.

Oh yeah forgot about that. D'oh!

Hopefully at least a dusting tomorrow lol.

My profile picture is a bit more seasonal now... up The Ridge on March 2nd last year.

Patchy drizzle here an 5c. 

Hoping for some luck later.

[Nights King]

Look at this..

Just took about 15 screenshots of that...

The fact that it isn't showing it as heavy snow showers means that there could be a wider area of snow moving through the west country tomorrow. Actually the showers were in quite an organised band on their video graphics this afternoon. Shame it's not a few hours earlier as we all deserve a day off.
