Evening all

No snow here in lowland East London but it's been a very cold day especially out of the sun and in the wind - a maximum of 6c would be adequate in January, not April.

A frost already forming on the cars by 8.30pm suggesting a very cold night approaching - not sure what the lowest minimum temperature ever recorded in London for April is but would be interesting to see if we are approaching that tonight.

Gritters out tonight in Croydon as a precaution

[andreas]

Currently -1.4, the lowest April minimum since I began recording fifteen years ago. Also colder than any night in the 'winter' of 2019 to 2020. 

[Hotspur62]

Got down to -2.7 here in locksbottom but beautiful morning and frost already melting in sun.temp currently -1.9.

Wasnt expecting to wake up to a light snow covering on grass and cars this morning, thankfully nothing settled on pavements and roads. Still a bitter wind blowing too. According to another dog walker I saw this morning, it was blizzards at 10pm last night, Id already gone to bed so missed it.

light snow covering here also but melting now in sun, still got gusty cold winds, and yes saw blizzard conditions yesterday evening could see in a security light snow whipping around and a white covering on our garden. The car was   covered in snow till about an hour or so ago but temps outside only about 3 or 4.

Nothing as yet here in Ramsgate but the sky is looking more convective. Wind biting cold. Maybe some flurries today??  

[alexisj9]

No snow here as yet today, which actually makes a change this week. Anything expected?

[lassie23]

has anyone had any weather today?

[PiscesStar]

Morning All! Well the charts seem. Relentless with the cold pattern at the moment. More nuisance factor than anything else.... A renewed push from the north for the weekend doesn't help much... No snow but that wind is biting....  

[suffolk lady]

another chilly start big covering of grey cloud as well, plus side wind has eased. As we live near beaches saw the pic i am posting as once the weather warms up we get loads of tourists, also hubby and me had 2nd fizzy jab yesterday he has very sore arm i've only got a slight ache lets hope that is the only side effects we get

There is no weather. I went and got a weather refund because there is no weather.

The cool spell is just meh

[suffolk lady]

whether there is or whether there isnt that is the question!!

[Freeze]

Better today, sunny skies and reached 11c

[lassie23]

Hope summer comes because this cold only delivered five snow flakes

[Atmogenic]

tbh if this cold spell is just going to be what it has been like today, i can manage it. It's when its cold, overcast and damp that i hate so much from the cold spells.

Hi - I think that may have been Sunday 6 April 2008 - in Crystal Palace we woke up to four inches of snow and a fun morning was had by many in the local parks. Most of the snow thawed during the afternoon. That day I recorded a maximum of 9.2 and a minimum of (+) 1.7, so it was less cold than today is likely to be, exactly thirteen years later.

I thought it was an afternoon event. I remember looking out at snow sweeping across the bridge for about an hour: it was hammering down. 

But I may be misremembering. 

ah I think I’m out by a decade! I reckon it was Monday 10th April 2006.
