 B87 whats cfb

 In Absence of True Seasons Your not allowed a full day of sun! You've used your quota! Raining here and dull as dishwater!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 In Absence of True SeasonsSmall mercies darling! Small mercies!

 *Stormforce~beka* the blue photos were from this morning. It's now grey as per norm

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 In Absence of True Seasons I like grey. It's my friend. I especially like light grey ...

[In Absence of True Seasons]

 Summer8906 Well yes, the properly gloomy dark grey is obviously worse than the lighter grey, but it's nevertheless just shades of grey. This country really, really struggles to maintain a full day, or even most of a day, of clear skies, and it's incredibly tedious. I mean, we are here comparing levels of grey and how good they are - British climate in a nutshell.

Very mouldy bread is less palatable than slightly mouldy bread, but at the end of the day you're still just eating mouldy bread. 

Rest of the week definitely looking better though.

Temperate maritime. Humid subtropical, or more accurately subtropical maritime is Cfa.

 CryoraptorA303 Then why did they type cfb whatever that means rather than TM?

 B87 Thanks B87 ☺

After a promising start this morning (it was even briefly sunny) it’s now raining again although looking at the radar it should clear by mid-afternoon. Just can’t seem to get a complete day without it.

[CryoraptorA303]

 *Stormforce~beka* Cfb is the Koeppen classification.

[TwisterGirl81]

Feels chilly today, im so desperate for some warmth and sun that lasts all day.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll have to wait for May to come (yet again thanks to the late ssw) before we see temps of 22c or above widely, I don’t think we’ve barely reached 17c here yet this year.

Raining again.....is it really too much to ask of this pathetic country just to have a day where it doesn't fooking rain?!? It's physically making me ill.

I'm coming to London for a family day on Saturday and hoping for a lot better than we've been having here over the past two days. Dry feet would be good for a start! 

[In Absence of True Seasons]

Rain, wind, 12c. It's almost like it's December again! Or October, November, most of January, basically all of February and all of March... Lol.

My friend is moving to Australia for a year in May, near Sydney. Can't say I don't envy him. 

[Alderc 2.0]

Could be tough work in the next few days getting much in the way of sun for the south and south west, it’s pretty moist downstream of us. Wouldn’t be surprised to see plenty of drizzle to be honest. 

[Andy Bown]

 Alderc 2.0 latest fax chart shows a front straddling the South rather than clearing the coast, yuk potential! 

[Metwatch]

Not too worried if there isn't wall to wall blue skies at the moment. Still a marked improvement compared to recent, and should get the lawn done again this weekend. Later next week could see more high pressure so maybe a lot of us will witness the appearance of the long-awaited dry soils in the coming weeks  

Not much more than 5-10mm across modelling here and southwards from now on!

[Alderc 2.0]

 Andy Bown yup - mild and grim opposed to cold and grim. 

[SunSean]

 Metwatch Calling a forecast like that in mid April, an improvement, is basically the same as calling getting your jaw broken in a fight an improvement over falling down a flight of stairs and breaking your leg lol. Its still absolutely rancid with not a spec of sun hardly

[AWD]

Whilst it looks drier, I really don’t want more overcast, grey, dull skies.  I want sun.  Lots of it.  We’ve had soooooooo much cloudy, grey, dull crap IMBY, over the last year or so, that the weather needs to do more than just dry up now.  Overcast crap is still crap IMO.

Lmao i'm just very desperate for something much drier, and warmer than the almost constant 10-14C in the past few months which will finally change here from tomorrow even it it's only for a few days. Of course sunshine would speed up the drying process and be even better, but later this month or in May I think that might just properly arrive
