South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion Jan 2021 Onward

[jethro]

Morning all, Facebook did one of those memory things this morning from two years ago and I thought I'd share it here. February has always been the snowiest and often the coldest month around here, I'm hoping that once we get this week out of the way that tradition will continue and we'll all get some snow. Fingers crossed for a fantastic channel low in the next four weeks.

February 1st 2019......

'They said it would snow, it did, it still is, not forecast to stop until tomorrow afternoon. 5 and half inches so far, how deep will it get'   Very was the answer.

Dry and cloudy so far today. 5.2°C

[ARTDEMOLE]

Misty hills and in the valley. Maximum 4.5c. Now 3.9c. Humidity 93% Rh.

IF Donald Trump struggled to build a wall to keep out "American aliens", why did he not ask us for tips after we built the M4, coz it keeps out the cold weather!

[MidnightSnow]

Hopefully round #3 without the marginality.

Usually those systems slip south by quite a long way, hopefully that big fat blob that's modelled to bury East Anglia will slide down this way and cover right up to the tip of the Lizard. 

If anyone's ever down that way, can highly recommend The Lizard Cafe down by the lifeboat station at the Lizard.

Proud to announce I've managed to raise another snow lover/geek, my son sent me these pics he took yesterday. My work is done.....

Check the battery capacity, it's stretching to reach that far..

Cloudy all day and feeling chilly, with drizzle at times. Reached 3.9°C at: 14:07...

Currently 3.0°C

[Andy Bown]

It hasn’t reached 3c yet today, 2.8c currently. An utterly drab nothing day.

I guess the approaching warm front will shake things up. Hopefully some sun in the morning!

[Richard Fisher]

Don’t venture into the model thread there’s a huge South East party going on with the latest ECM run. Although likely to get really cold I can’t see our area benefiting much from this Easterly spell with regards to big snow falls. We are relying on organised fronts or snow showers developing and making it across this far west. We may have to wait for a potential breakdown of the cold spell from a front coming up from the SW before we hit the snow jackpot.

Never say never...its forecast 6 days away. There was meltdown in there earlier over one mild run . Fingers crossed we all get a slice of the pie.

Good Morning All,

 

Feeling mild again this morning with that fine rain having just started 

 

Looks busy in the MOD thread.

[lettice]

Dull start and 4.4mm of rain 1am to 3am
Was 7.2c at midnight.
Now 10.3c, WSW 10-12mph, 995.4 hPa

January rain total was 89mm
 

Have we had a downgrade this morning?
Last few days forecasts showed light snow from Sunday Night through to Monday afternoon for our area.
This morning the snow has been removed from Met Office and other forecasts for our area Sunday/Monday.

[Glenosnow]

Morning all,very cloudy here with the odd glimpse of the big yellow thing that I haven't seen in ages.......currently 10.6°C after an overnight low of 6.0°C with a wisp of a SW breeze and 5.5mm of rain so far.

I here we might see snow .......hmmm when I'm chasing woolly mammoths off my snowy tundra of a doorstep I'll start getting excited ❄

[MagicOtter]

Snow's back on for Monday in Cornwall - well, Netweather and the BBC say so. The MetOffice is a spoilsport and says cold rain, which is probably more likely. Back to dreaming of 2018, I suppose.

The snow Dome will be put in place by mon 

[Andy Bown]

After some drizzle mid morning it’s a pleasant Spring like afternoon. Just nudged up to 11c.

[MP-R]

Yes very different to this point yesterday. It was 3C and grey at this point, today it’s hit 11C with sunny spells.

Looks like a summer style shower on the way though and darkening sky to the SW.

[Mapantz]

10.2mm of rain in the last 24 hours. Mostly cloudy today, but a few sunny spells. Windy too. Temp managed 12°C.

[MidnightSnow]

You would think that there have been downgrades this afternoon if you go into the Mod thread. I'm actually liking the way it's going... more chance of the legendary channel low popping up for the SW & Wales. Still way off that yet but it's been a good day IMO.
