At last the sun has arrived here. Welcome back, old friend.
Temp now 14.1c and climbing.

The cloud today will burn away and alot quicker that yesterday and you can see it happening on "sat 24" sorry link!!
Yes, it looks like the cloud is eroding fairly quickly now according to the radar.
We've had one or two fleeting glimpses of sunshine here, so hopefully a change is on the way soon

Gripe No 1 - where's our sunshine??? I was expecting today to be bright & sunny, not a repeat of yesterday's cloudfest. NOT HAPPY!
Gripe No 2 - after triple_x1 mentioned it last night, I had Mull Of Fugging Kintrye going round & round my head for hours afterwards

Nope not a sausage from that 'blizzard'
In that case you can count yourself genuinely very unlucky, CC. We saw plenty of snow here during the final week of March, and it even hung around for a long time afterwards too.

Cloudy here too. Just a few brighter glimpses so far......*yawn*. Someone wake me up when there's a storm or summat. I'd better put on a few pounds before I hibernate, could be asleep for a while waiting for this storm shield to tire itself out
Bar that January snowfall, this has been one of the most yawn inducing 18 months of weather you could ever wish to see for this locale. Day after day of boring, monotonous crud. Sick of it.
Whaaaat???? Did you not see any of the white stuff during March?
I was thinking the other day about which have been the most extraordinary months of weather since I started following Netweather back in 2005 (I lurked for years). I ended up deciding upon March 2013, a truly astonishing month IMO.

One of the Telford mob must have left their cloud-generating machine running overnight, and covered the entire region by accident.........

Slate grey skies here this morning, not what I was expecting at all
Bish

Pretty much the ideal day for me here - clear blue skies, lots of sunshine, pleasant cooling breeze which prevents it from getting too warm.
Perfick!

After a grim first few days back in Blighty, the last few have been wonderful! Did get rather burned at the cricket in Worcester yesterday, however...
That's why god invented Sky Sports, Nick..........

Yes spot on i'm in that clear gap and hardly a cloud to be seen.
Yep I can vouch for that too, very nearly cloudless blue skies virtually all day here.
Perfect weather to stay indoors and watch the cricket on the box!

Absolutely torrential rain here up until twenty minutes ago, now completely quiet.
Judging by the radar, a couple of hours respite for most of us before the really heavy stuff to our south and west starts winding itself over the region.
Bish

Some very high rainfall totals likely through our region over the next 24 hours, looks like the worst of it will stay just south east of here with the Birmingham area really getting the most intense downpours.
lol, go on Conor, rub it in why don't you
Definitely a "rain stopped play" day ahead however.

I heard one solitary, distant rumble of thunder just after five this afternoon, but nothing since. Some nasty looking stuff heading right this way according to the radar, however.

Been a good old blustery day today here with some sunny spells, and a few hefty showers. Hail and sleet further up on the tops, went for a stroll up Parkhouse Hill early'er, the wind was really buffeting up there 60/70mph in some spot's..
I'm sure I've said this before, but you live in such a beautiful part of the country PM

No that's wrong bishop. Minima above 5c last night, air frost is still possible through May though.
Yes, there was clearly some sort of glitch - the Twitter feed accompanying the site didn't have us fall below 8.1c
Wow, fantastic hail here right now!
Bish
-
My local weather station shows that the temperature actually dipped to approx 0.0c this morning - surely that can't be right???
I know it's cold at the moment, but surely air frosts are unlikely by this stage of the year?
Bish

Very true, Dancer. I'd much prefer to live in this sort of climate, where you never truly know what the next day will bring, than somewhere with day after day of blue skies and baking hot temperatures.

Winds really picking up and getting quite gusty but i think the worse of the winds will be later on this afternoon
plus when them winds do finish with us today im sure there won't be many petals left on them flowering profuse trees.
Yes, the blossoms have only just arrived and already look to be on the way out thanks to these increasingly strong gusts.
Spring 2013 will surely go down as one of the most un-Springlike for many years in these parts.

Not unusual though for may 7th, I generally think May is summerier than August, august is more low pressure, and a reminder that autumn is close
We're well overdue a genuinely hot August, aren't we? The last one was 2003 I think.
From what I can recall, the hot spell in 2006 was predominantly a July event.

26.0C max today, warm air drawn up ahead of the change, unusual to see westerly winds in May, from tomorrow
Blimey, 26.0c?! Not very often you're much warmer than me - max of 22.1c here by my reckoning.
All change from tomorrow however.
Bish

Much better today, feels genuinely warm at last. Just hope this isnt summer.....
You can say that again! Last May we had a genuinely warm spell and we all joked about how that was our summer - and it pretty much turned out to be the case. Certainly June 2012 was one of the coldest & wettest summer months ever.
I must admit, I haven't seen any of the long-term forecasts for Summer 2013 yet. Fingers crossed it'll be hot & stormy

Gorgeous day today, absolutely gorgeous, i must say i think im starting to prefer days like this to snow filled days, probably because they are becoming less of a novelty lately? But unbroken sunshine and 20c+ has made this a great day and i have loved being out in it and catching a tan
Having endured the snow famine years (very roughly 1997 to 2007), I have to say I will never regard snow as a novelty. But I agree the weather has been absolutely glorious the past day or two, indeed there were times during March and early April where it seemed almost impossible to imagine this type of weather ever returning lol.
Could be a genuinely warm one today. Not a cloud in the sky, and already 14.5c at ten past eight in the morning.

Up to 21.3c right now, my warmest day of the year so far
Bish

I recorded my lowest May temperature this morning, -2.8c just before sunrise. I've only recorded two other air frosts in May over the past nine years.

An absolute stunner out there again today, totally glorious. Lovely and fresh as well.
We should edge past 20c shortly I should imagine. According to my local weather station - which if anything tends to marginally exaggerate higher temps - we haven't quite made it past 20c since the start of the month, despite all the recent sunshine. Our highest recent max is 19.3c yesterday evening.
