I wish I could say the same of my rear lawn which has developed a few bald patches, courtesy of the dogs (whose 13th birthday it is today), and where the ground is still very muddy. A dry easterly airflow combined with a few days of strong wall to wall sunshine would soon remedy that!

Interesting to note that just in the short few days without over heavy rain, and a keen wind, my plants in pots waiting to be planted out are dry as a bone soil wise…

andymusic feels like very early spring, chilly….. least it’s dry, hopefully sun will come and shine on us soon.

oh well - despite any colder attempts from the north/north east I think spring now has finally sprung especially in the west of the UK - namely Wales

Max feel like forecasts well out for today.

Quite frankly, any wind direction will do for me as long it's not a moist SWly. Looking forward to some drier days ahead and the chance to get cracking in the garden. Seems to have been quite a wild day for some, especially along the coasts - Aberdaron 70 mph, Aberporth 69 mph, Capel Curig 68 mph, Mumbles 61 mph, St Athan 60 mph, Pembrey Burrows 58 mph. By contrast, it's largely been a reasonable day round here, just a light shower at dusk and not more than a fresh breeze.

Wetterfrosch models at mo seem fickle - northlies for end of the month back on - can't make there mind up lol

Absolutely disgusting weather today, hail, sleet and a howling gale! April or back to January??!!

Hope so!!!

oh well cancel the cooler northerlies - seems the highs are gonna take over now - lots of dry and increasingly warmer weather!

Forecast tomorrow snow for some this morning on tv

It's been a nice day for a change! Crazy to think a few weeks ago we had that snow, today hazy sunshine and a high of 17°C, it felt very nice

Lucky you! Here, all I got was a couple of brief spells of hazy sunshine but mostly thick low cloud, managing no more than 11.3 C max. Getting tired of seeing people on TV enjoying spring like weather in so many parts of the country whilst still stuck in seemingly eternal autumn conditions. The joys of living between the sea and the mountains, eh!

Been a lovely spring day, sunny with a high of 20.4C, perfect spring day for me!

gonna be getting cold in about a weeks time latest gfs 12z run also prog snow for the beacons middle to late spring

medium term forecasters seem convinced that April will end with a cold blast and so does the gfs for about a week

andymusic I do hope so. It’s time to get out in the garden.

Crepuscular Ray Looking like a much better "dry" day tomorrow though but like I said cooler into the beginning of next week

Just ceaseless drizzle here, and my running rainfall total for the year has just passed a metre.

ANYWEATHER oh yes always the same, up to 11.8C now was 9c earlier.

Marcus_surfer looks like you’ve got the milder airmass moving , hence the advection fog ….

Fog, mist and drizzle sums up the day after heavy rain earlier. Like something out of a horror movie this weather is

andymusic currently warmer for sure, but either continuous mizzle or rain and more cloud , mizzle rain in forecast. Hey ho!

snefnug signs of some slighty warmer weather except for a couple of days next week but also dryer weather in the medium to longer term - hopefully!

Update on my race as a barometer of where we are. I've never seen Pembrey like it. We crossed about 3 rivers which are not rivers, just hollows. Knee deep. Deep mud in places. Just awful. And did 4km (twice) along the beach into 50mph crosswinds (awful). We always get caught up in anecdote over statistics. But I think all our anecdotes this year are spot in. Just the worst.
