I don’t suffer from SAD but this constant cloudy weather is starting to get to me now. Anyone know where the sun is? 

[AWD]

 matt111 Some pokey sun in Westbury currently.

 Dorsetbred That top one is 5 miles from where I am currently sat and it was bright rather than sunny when i went out an hour ago

[Andy Bown]

There’s no fog just Stratocumulus and occasional hazy sun.

[Dorsetbred]

 Andy Bown  Rich_Clements Still far better than down here where its just mizzle and some heavier rain earlier.

GEFS is having a hiccup:

I'm always a bit weird at this time of year.Fishing has finished..work hasn't properly started..but I'm allergic to being indoors..not up to top notch plant price haggling so I tend to drive aimlessly about using.petrol but achieving absolutely  nothing lol

[Mapantz]

Horrible. Damp, drizzly and dull as dishwater.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

Thick cloud and drizzle. Just walked Sophie to dance club in it. Minging. I'll take your hazy sun ...

 Mapantz I don't like global warming ...

[matt111]

As others have said it's been damp and drizzly most of the day here. Not even a hint of the sun. 

[Super_Uwe]

Nothing further to add in Kingsbridge today I'm afraid...vile!

Even some heavier bursts of rain too. Very murky too.

[Andy Bown]

An almost rain free S/SW!? Blimey! 
 

It feels humid and if the sun breaks through I think it could get quite warm. 

[jtay]

Much better this morning. A dry walk, albeit over sodden fields.

Just put the seedlings out on the patio, as the Sun tries to break through.

[AWD]

It’s cloudy today.

I've always laughed at us being a cashless society.Two more companies have card glitches.Either shut or begging for cash to keep functioning.No pun intended but I think the  penny will drop soon.

[AWD]

I can’t remember the last time I used an ATM or cash.  Even local, self employed tradespeople local to me take card and/or bank transfer now.

Generally speaking, I don’t even carry a wallet with me anymore.  I have my few bits of ID locked away in a hidden compartment in my car, otherwise I just use ApplePay.  If anything goes wrong or suspect, I can lock my card/account within seconds in just a few clicks.

Morning All, what's this I see, POTENTIAL for a couple of dry days? An overcast morning after the overnight low of 9.0°C at: 05:59, currently 12.8°C, RH93% and light air from the NNE.

From Above, with cloud breaks visible

On Golden sands, I see a shadow being cast from the soul on the beach...

 

[jtay]

Feeling lovely out there now. It just shows what a difference a bit of Sunshine makes.

[Mapantz]

Sunny spells and light air helped the temp climb to 17.3°C here, making it the warmest day of the year so far.

[Andy Bown]

Yes very pleasant albeit cloudy again now. It doesn’t ‘feel’ like March though. In fact there’s almost an oppressiveness to the air. Still and warm and hazy like a summer afternoon.

[SummerShower]

 Andy Bown funny you say that as I'm sat out for the 1st time this year and actually sweating a bit even though its only 14 or 15, and hazy rather than full on sun.  Perhaps it's where the surroundings are just so wet.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 Andy Bown I just went out in a rush to the chooks as the neighbours cat was attacking one again! And had the same. It feels like a summer afternoon. Most odd!!
