Same story here temp maxed out at 18.3c but now dropped back down to 17.4c, wind also picking up now!

[MP-R]

Looks like I'm in the sunniest part of the country today. Classic clear spot over Somerset - very common in westerlies like these.

[CheesepuffScott]

A few brief sunny spells but still mostly cloudy. Temp got up to 18.8°C but is now 17.9°C

[Wilxy]

Much cloudier here now with the threat of showers. 15.3°C

[Mapantz]

Overall, not bad today really. Not masses of sunshine, but it felt warm and the temp reached 19.6°C. As it stands right now, the Spring average temp here is exactly the same as last year, 10.4°C.

[Andy Bown]

0.5mm of rain from a few blustery showers this morning. Those sandwiched a sunny start and sunny/windy afternoon.

[CheesepuffScott]

A sharp heavy shower just now, temp 14.0°C

Nonetheless, there was a handful of sunny spells today, and it felt pleasant, even when the sun went in. A high of 19.3°C @ 13:55

Dry with sunny spells all day, felt quite warm in the sun but feels cooler now. Reached 18.8°C, currently 14.8°C 

[Andy Bown]

Absolutely torrential rain in the last 10 to 15 minutes. The heaviest for nearly 3 weeks, probably creating localised flooding exacerbated by run off from the bone dry ground.

[MP-R]

A grand total of 1mm from 'all that rain' that passed over here.

Just coming over here now.. light at the moment. Temp down to 10.5°C

[Andy Bown]

First outdoor work day of February half term ; heavy showers from the South around 07.00 .

First outdoor work day of Easter holidays; heavy drizzle from the East around 07.00 .

Today, first outdoor work day of May half term; showers from the North arriving now at about 07.00!!

How!?!?

[CheesepuffScott]

A bright and dry start (for the meantime) after an overnight low of 7.2°C. Currently 9.7°C

Heading down to Torquay in a few hours. Forecast isn’t as looking as wet or cold as it did last week thankfully. I can live with showers 

[Lyn-M]

Yesterday was another dry day, all the showers went round us, again.

[Dorsetbred]

Likewise everything today was "around us" to the west. east. north but sod all here. Oh well that sums up a forecast of showers really I suppose!

I wonder if Mapantz is going to treat us to a new thread for summer, considering this one started last winter, spring has been covered, something new for summer????

[Tobertron]

There were certainly some beefy showers around later last night. My work about 5 miles to my north was right under the heaviest stuff, with 23 mm recorded from just a few hours rain. I only managed 8.2 mm here but still had some pretty heavy bursts. All good for the gardens.

[matt111]

Sunny spells and a couple of showers today, not really amounting to anything. Reached 19.0°C. Currently 13.6°C which is similar to this time over the last few days but it feels quite a bit cooler than it did then. 

[Lyn-M]

Are we really getting some rain here tomorrow?  Nowt here again today, a few spits and spots fell in Yeovil this morning, but nothing at home.  Month's total stands at 18mm.

[CheesepuffScott]

Dry here since I arrived in Torquay, sunny spells all afternoon and blue skies from around 5pm although a bit more cloud built in around dusk. Pleasant though

[Dorsetbred]

Patchy light rain around with an overcasst start as radar suggests some more patchy light rain heading in to the area over the morning. Overnight low of 7.2°C and current temperature is 12.5°C

[MP-R]

Dull and drizzly again this morning. Quite dark too so feeling autumnal. 

Im struggling to find a completely sunny day in the 10-day outlook.

[CheesepuffScott]

Grey and drizzly here with a few heavier periods of rain earlier in Torquay.

[CheesepuffScott]

Sun is starting to shine behind the thick cloud and it actually feels a little warm. Looks much wetter back home

It’s not really wet Scott, not in Warminster anyway, pimply rain and drizzle on and off for the last 5 hours but not even 1mm in the gauge.
