Felt really springlike in the sun today reaching a very mild 15.8°C. After last night's rain there seems to be a huge amount of water around, out in the forest there was water flowing onto the road from the flooded ground alongside which does happen at times but that was the worst I'd seen for some time.

Drumroll please!

It’s been dry for about 24 hours and yep the next rain is due spot on time for this mornings school run!! 

[MP-R]

Supposed to have cleared through by now with bright skies but oh no, it’s dull as dishwater again with drizzle.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All. patchy light rain and drizzle as the decaying cold front moves through. The overnight low of 6.7°C at: 03:23 has risen to 10.1°C, RH95% and light air movement from the WNW.

Afternoon and Welcome to Monday,

 

A nice partly sunny start but pulses of drizzle which wasn't forecast by the met office app this morning still it could be worse.

 

[Dorsetbred]

After earlier drizzle, it's been mild and dry for the rest of the day, the sea temperature currently in the normal range at 9.5 °C, so a fair few folks trying their luck on the baby rollers.

[Dorsetbred]

And so the star sets.

Despite forecasts for a colder weather in February shaped by Greenland blocking highs, very mild conditions have prevailed so far, especially in southern Britain, putting the month on track to be one of the warmest...

 

[matt111]

Yes it was a nice sunset tonight

Managed an hour in the garden after work. Should manage the same tomorrow. Wednesday, not so much.

Just back from walking the dog and after some of the recent mildness it feels pretty raw in the drizzle this morning temps of just 7C.

[jtay]

Utter dross. 

[Andy Bown]

Thankfully unlike other places there was no drizzle this morning. Cloud has broken since mid morning with hazy sunshine since. 
 

Outdoor work done happily between 9-12 and everyone’s bedding drying on the line/airers now. 

Looks like being the first dry day since last Monday. Happy Andy today! 

[jtay]

We're in a clearer slot now.

Noticeable increase in windspeed since earlier today:

[Rich_Clements]

 Dorsetbred aye its picked up here as well with a hint of rain in the air

[AWD]

Somewhere under there is England;

it seems that despite the consistently milder temperatures, getting any sort of prolonged dry weather is as rare as a Bristol City promotion!

The gardens need the rain
