Turned very mild but humid at the coast this afternoon, 16c. Some sunshine, but a lot of rain we didn't need overnight. Fields south of Brid via Driffield towards Beverley are still waterlogged with plenty of standing water, it's been like it for months now.

Dry today, but a cold N wind and grey skies.
Lunchtime brought 7C, wind N force 3-4 and 100% cloud.
More rain forecast over the weekend which we could do without.

Another horrible morning, foggy and wet
Went for a later bike ride after the rain finally stopped. Wind force 3-4 SE, 11C and some gaps appearing in the clouds.
Didnt get wet from above but another wet spell has added to the general level of water and mud on the roads, arrived home in a filthy state and had to change.

A Face like Thunder I think we've jinxed it, grey and wet (again) as I type this...

Not to bad today, light winds at lunchtime, force 2-3 W, 11C and mainly sunny. At least the ratio of better days to wet days seems to be improving, but any persistent rain still runs off as the ground hasnt dried out.
Some signs of showers, but nothing here

A nice day yesterday, sunny and light winds. I was able to cut some fire wood and cut up some 8x4 sheets of plywood for a woodwork project, which needed a fine calm.day.
Awoke this morning to a frozen car windscreen which was unexpected car temp showing 2-3C.

Gray-Wolf A decent day at the coast as well.
Lunchtime brought 10c, with sunshine and a force 2-4 E wind. Some very high cloud, but the main thing is NO RAIN, after yesterdays grey damp drizzle.
The farmers on the Wolds seem to be getting back on to the land again, several tractors out doing field work, although I suspect the lower lying areas are still waterlogged.

The problem here isn't just rain, it's also wind as we are very exposed, you end up having to pick it all up and wash it again unless you physically stitch it to the line, and that assumes you can even find it once its blown off.

reef Ours is the same, and that soggy that it squelches when you walk on it

Another poor day today.
Light rain at lunchtime turned heavier whilst out, did 8 miles and got wet.
10c with a force 4-6 SW wind and 100% cloud
Looks a little brighter now.
Mark Bayley Just think, mud mud and more mud...

Two nice days, and then today...
Woke up to rain, which had stopped by lunchtime, to be replaced by low cloud/fog. Bike ride brought NW winds force 2-3 which was aborted due to the rain starting again just after the 4 mile mark, headed back home, 10c and low cloud.
Still foggy outside and of course everywhere is sodden again.

Yet another wet spell, moderate to heavy rain at the coast this morning after a better few days. Problem is all the problem wet spots are filling again.

Wold Topper The Wolds will dry out fairly quickly, but our last trip towards Hull on the train last Saturday there is still a huge amount of standing water on the flat lands between Driffield and Beverley, and I suspect their situation is worse still.

A slight improvement today. Got rid of the nagging damp easterly, but overall much windier today and still rain about
Lunchtime brought force 5-7 SW winds with 13c and some brightness for the first half turning to very light rain in the last 10 minutes of my hour out.
Looking at the MetO charts low pressure is never far away so more rain on the cards.

Aother thoroughly miserable day here after some early brightness.

Love Snow Its gone downhill even further this morning, on the coast woke up to moderate to heavy rain with a lazy (blows through you instead of going round you) easterly wind. We really don't need anymore rain at the moment

The last few days have been fairly quiet weather-wise, a little rain and drizzle, but not enough to cause a problem. The winds have been calmer, and are firmly in the east today. Bearing in mind wind is the cyclists enemy its been much more pleasant. The worst field puddles are disappearing, but the ground is still very wet.
Today brought 6c with force 3-4 E winds. All over grey cloud today, with some very fine drizzle, and quite misty.
Grindale Mere at lunchtime

I had just started work, having left school at 16, and was immediately plunged into the 3 day week, power cuts and a lot of industrial disputes. Overall not a good period nationally. Personally not a time I look back on positively either.
Weather wise it was the last of the cool summer years which were part of my growing up. Looking back at weather records for this year the absolute maximum was 28c recorded in June in Southampton. Years which failed to reach 30c happened during this period. Nowadays I suspect that there is no set up where we wouldn't reach 30c anywhere.
Also remember it as being a wet year, plenty of wet walks to and from the station or bus for work, but that and various rail strikes did mean I put a lot of effort into passing my driving test.
So, looking back definitely no rose coloured spectacles, either at a personal, national or weather level.

Down hill again at the start of the week after a reasonable weekend. Lunchtime brought Force 4-6 N winds driving a peppering of showers on shore. Temps at 8c but drops in the showers. Had a heavy shower of ice pellets whilst out at lunchtime. Not like graupel which is white and slightly soft, these were clear and hard. Very unpleasant whilst riding, had to shelter while it passed over.

Well nearly 20C here with a force 8-9 SSW gale, given the wind strength surprised the yellow warning wasn't extended.
Thank goodness its not July/August, with the same set up would be very unpleasant.
