It was just like flaming June today apart from no heat, wasps, flies, ice cream vans, thunderstorms, humidity, or Spanish plumes, but apart from that, it was just like flaming June today.
I think today was the most perfect pv (solar) output curve I have ever seen.

It’s official…..Wettest March in over 40 years for England
It was bound to happen as soon as they started saying driest winter and probable summer drought/hosepipe ban at the end of Feb. People think weather patterns are random but we have too often seen above average rainfall after the media starts talking about drought for it to simply be a coincidence.

Friday looking to be a tad windy....oh, and of course, very wet!
MY DDs football team has managed 4 football matches since the start of December due to weather interruptions and no doubt this Saturday will be a water-logged pitch again and then it is a 2 week break for Easter and then we are in to the final few matches of the season. Last year she was golden boot for her age group, this year she is likely to miss out just because she is half a dozen matches down.

Do you remember before 1.2 degrees when we used to say you were more likely to see snow at Easter than xmas....

As above no sun at all today , yet another rubbish week ahead likely wet but a mild weather pattern that's not been seen here in the east for a while...I blame all the cold lovers for this...they wanted that SSW, and thanks to them its happened and now none stop rain and nothing spring like in the future either
IT may not be the weather of choice but we will all appreciate the rainfall later in the year

Some more stat digging for ya! From January 1990 up until this month so far, out of 399 months in total, March 2023 is currently the 6th dullest month out of all those 399 months. Sure, there is still another 13 days left after todays 100% overcast day but with the forecast looking absolutely dull as dish water, the month is still guaranteed to be in the bottom 20 at best. Truly woeful month.
2018 had a very dull March and April - and then a very sunny May, June and July.....

And I thought my temperature drop was good on Friday!
Went from 9.1c at 7:54am to 2.6c at 10:54am
BBC Website Weather hourly is showing temps fairly stable at 7C till 5pm then dropping 5 degrees to 2 degrees at 6pm - never seen anything similar before.

This thread died quick.Signs of another cold shot later in the month looking less likely now,probably explains the lack of posts in here.
Might as well shut it down once their is no sign of any cold weather around!
Apart from the sleet forecast for tomorrow morning and -5 for tomorrow night....
-
So coming up we have:
Notably cold March night tonight
Cold drizzle tomorrow evening
Warm drizzle Sunday
Windstorm Monday
Another sleet fest Tuesday night
Followed by cold Easterly nastiness for the foreseeable
I guess it is interesting weather but would prefer spring warmth tbh

Nonsense it's all the national news is talking about Frist before moving on to everything else.
BBC News website, top story is currently about some over entitled, overpaid presenter who thinks he is above the rules. Snow and Ice live is in right hand 'other stories not important enough to warrant a photo' column. Yesterday snow and ice was the main top left most space on the pave story.

Worth popping over to the Midlands “have a look at what you could have won” thread for some nice photos.
I love the way ess than an inch in and around London made it the top story on the BBC News website whereas much more today but elsewhere in the country and it is a footnote....
-
So tomorrow afternoon for another sleet/slush fest and then possibly more on Tuesday night - oh and some noticeable winds tomorrow and Sunday into Monday. I guess it is not dull even though it feels that way.

Well done. There's something quite special about being out in steady snow. Trust all that runninmg about toasted you up nicely!
Did the snow settle quicker on the astro than elsewhere? I was in Clarence Park doing my daily walk until about 4.30, by which time the sleet had turned to heavy snow. Was startled by the brilliant white of the games courts erlier where the snow had somehow not thawed whilst everywhere else was just wet.
Would have preferred to watch the snow fall but had to watch the match and couldn't see a lot as so much went onto my glasses...

Sleet turned to steady snow about 4pm in St Albans. What's more it's getting steadily heavier andeverything is turning white again.
Mesmerising to watch! Radar suggests it just might bow out with a flourish in about an hour.
Really enjoyed being linesman on the school football match 4.30 ko on the astro. By the end we would have had to stop anyway as you couldn't see the lines. DDs team won 7-0, I can only imagine how unpleasant it must have been for the girls on the other team.
Ptobabl;y got about the same 2cm we had this morning.

Had a 10 min snow shower today when driving from crowborough to herstmonceux. Thought it would turn to rain as I left the elevation of crowborough but it didn't!
So what are everyone's thoughts for snow Chances here during early march?
WE seem to have had snow/sleet symbols on the BBC long range forecast for the last week or more - but they never get closer than T120 before being pushed back or disappearing....

Morning - quoted above from the mod thread. This is a positive for us lot I think, yes? I know it’s almost march etc but with uppers like that if we can generate some showers off the sea and a breeze to pull it in, we might actually see something?
It’s been 2 years since I’ve seen any snow so I’m hoping so!
You need to move to somewhere with a snowier climate - perhaps Southern California?

7.07 for us according to BBC website (aside: all snowflake symbols have now disappeared for Wed night into Thursday, a few now for Sat AM but no sign of any lying snow):

BBC symbols have sleet and snow from next Thursday - T144

Originally the cold spell was supposed to have ended yesterday, car said -4 at 9.30 this evening so I don't think so - now saying it may get a bit warmer by Wednesday. As someone who pays the heating bill I prefer the mild much if it is not going to snow. The odd frost and sunshine day sure but this is our second longish cold spell of the winter and it is costing a fortune

Channel Low in January bringing only rain here in East Dene, climate changed dramatic. 30 years ago that would have been drifting proper snow.
Have to disagree - channel low into established cold air, snow as you say - channel low into mild air with warm ground is more like a standard Atlantic depression. Compare last night with the December event.

Latest BBC forecast suggests this thread will get a lot busier over the next week, North Home counties are on a promise currently although unlike December no deep cold before any snow arrives.
