Lol I know

It was windy & it was pretty heavy at the time-

Equalling the great Kent blizzard of 2020!

Depth 0 Kentimeters!

I'm not sure why the Spanish met office named a low pressure system which barely affected them? 

It's been a bit breezy down here on the South Coast today but nothing out of the ordinary, winds gusting around 40-50mph at most here in the Hastings area. 

One or two showers made it inland but most seem confined to The Channel and it's fairly mild. Temperatures locally peaked at 10.3c.

I agree it’s been a lovely day here in shoreham, bit breezy but fairly mild even warm in the sun, nice and dry all day for once best day in weeks almost, why was this considered a storm on the south coast? had windier days from a sea breeze in summer...

Is that a hook echo coming up towards Rye? If you play the last few frames back it looks very defined!

There's a wave on this storm that rapidly intensifies right over them, they named it for that, plus high seas

It’s lost it’s definition now thankfully as it’s heading straight towards us (Folkestone and Dover) but the precipitation seems heavy now...had a very heavy shower about 15 minutes ago.

[Crepuscular Ray]

Painful hail and some sleet from a shower near Farnham (the Surrey one) mid-afternoon. I so wished I hadn't forgotten my gloves. It wasn't as windy as forecast, though, although a friend told me that sea conditions at Hove were the worst she had ever seen.

Been out in Windsor this evening, that wind is freezing

[alexisj9]

The wind with that shower set off a car alarm twice lol.

I'm not seeing any evidence of that Alexis but stand to be corrected. The 'storm' they named and issued warnings for was by their own forecasts, only going to affect the northern tip of Spain.

That's the feature I mean, has it not materialised, it was in the models when they named the storm, it was a wave below us starting on their west, rapidly forming a low, with rain, which was going to hit the south coast at the time, but not it stays south. May be they jumped the gun?

Hi all, sorry for this rather off topic question. I wondered if anyone knows where I may be able to find a record of monthly average highs for London? Eg what was the average high in July 2018. I’m curious as to what the average high temperatures were in our hottest summer months but can’t find it anywhere on google. Everywhere just seems to list the overall mean... Would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction. 

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Hard to call later I think some wet flakes on the highest of ground the EURO4 is being WAY to progressive with its snow idea.. 

This little surface low was not even showing Friday.. 

EURO 4s idea.. According to this somewhere in Western areas is  is getting a good covering.. 

 

 

AROME says NO!

 

ICON Says NOPE..

 

 

GFS Sort of just not in the same places as EURO 4

  

I cant get access for some reason to the NMM to look at uppers.. I think this is down to how far north this feature moves.. If it can stay far enough south (EURO 4 idea) then maybe snow on the northern edge as the colder uppers are not mixed out as much.. where as the ICONs idea moves it way to north and mixes the cold uppers out to much.. 

Either way more heavy and for a time persistent rain in some areas that really don't need it!

Most will read these posts and think this winter was so crap you had to get to nearly 1000ft to see heavy snow falling,but even at that altitude it couldn’t even settle..As for blizzard conditions,do me a favour.

I have  seen falling and settling snow in April yet the whole winter this year not a single flake of snow seen,here.

Beautiful blue skies and sunshine this morning, finally. Can get those garden jobs sorted before I fly home tonight. Currently 7°C with a keen SW’ly wind. 

[Atmogenic]

Another beautiful morning hopefully this is what most of March will be like with scattered showers.

[Ben Lewis]

So nice to have blue skies.

So much better than grey skies & cold rain 

[LightningLover]

First day of meteorological spring! Some hazy sunshine here at the moment, with a slight breeze.

Let’s hope this spring and summer brings a convective season for everyone to remember! 2019 was nothing short of phenomenal for Bexhill! Fingers crossed...

Hopefully this is the sort of thing you are looking for KK. You can alter the date parameters to view any month and year.

Just cut the grass for the first time this year. Lovely day in the sun.

[Zak M]

Other than the cold, it definitely felt like Spring today!!

Some interesting cloud formations here today with a little shower passing by this afternoon:

[snowrye]

Lovely seeing the sun, and im hoping to see and feel more of it soon, a decent spring will ease the pain of a shocking so called winter
