South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/01/2020 Onward

Woke up to a covering of snow, rain, sleet, snow and graupel showers all morning at work (near Bristol). Just had biblical hail, thunder and lightening. Feel like I'm in a meteorological demonstration lesson!

Sleet shower... Least i can say iv seen a flake of snow this "winter"...

[matt111]

Had a heavy shower here not long ago that had a bit of sleet in it and a big temperature drop from 7°C to 3.9°C in less than half an hour.

A sleety mix here now.. 3.6°C

Yep. More flakes mixed in, the more it goes on.

This must be similar to whatever went through here at approx 5am this morning. Just went upstairs for a velux check and it's making the same dinking noise.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Was nice to see actual snowflakes for a while. Not long enough though. 

[Leon1]

Some sleet in Bath under some clouds that were so dark the streetlights should've been on and then some hail just a minute ago. I saw a photo of by the uni on the hills near Bath and there was no accumulation but some actual snowfall there today.

[jtay]

There might be a few flakes in this over Salisbury at the moment. 

[Andy Bown]

I have such a chip off the old block ; “gone gloomy daddy” “hailstones daddy!!”

[CheesepuffScott]

Variable sunshine today, but it has been a brighter day than recent, showers at times and some brief wintry interest this afternoon... a cool day with a max of 6.5°C at: 12:41

Currently 3.5°C

[Lyn-M]

Sunshine and hefty showers, included rain, hail and sleet and a noticeable drop in temperature from 6°C to 2.5°C at one point around midday.

[Don]

Saw a smattering of snow while on my way to Bristol this morning around Marlborough and Swindon.

[matt111]

No further showers after the sleet around lunchtime so ended up being a dry afternoon with sunny spells and a very cold wind. Reached 7.9°C, currently 4.5°C 

[CheesepuffScott]

Mostly clear and breezy. 2.2°C

The forecast for sunshine doesn't look too bad tomorrow, moreso the first half of the day, before the cloud arrives. Milder from Thurs with temperatures up to 12°C for the rest of the week.

[MP-R]

The temp is currently as high now as it has been all day, a bit odd...

It hasn't reached 10C since 16th January here but that looks like changing to end this ghastly month. Today was a rare day of interest in a month I can't wait to finish, and throw in the trash weatherwise.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a clear starry start to the day, with icy cars and slippery pavements this morning, currently 3.1°C...

[Dorsetbred]

What's  that about red sky in the morning...?

[CheesepuffScott]

A bright start this morning, after a low of 1.8°C overnight

Currently 2.2°C

[Nights King]

Another light dusting of snow here this morning. Wasn't expecting it to settle. Melting fast now though. 

[Dorsetbred]

Interesting to see the roller coaster ride on the MOD forum, they're in a downer now, even as far out as the next 16 days (mind you who can forecast that far out?) Wautumn rolls on as far as we are concerned, so maybe a few more red sky mornings..

[Mapantz]

Currently sunny spells and 10.4°C.

[Wilxy]

Quite a nice day today and much milder than this time yesterday 10.4°C

[Andy Bown]

Started icy and frosty, in fact quite treacherous on some surfaces. A beautiful mostly sunny Springlike day just nudging into double figures.

[CheesepuffScott]

A nice sunny day, got into double figures here with a high of 10.1°C at: 14:07

Currently 9.4°C

[CheesepuffScott]

Down to 5.8°C at: 18:30 but slowly rising since then. Now 6.2°C
