Some people were reported to be stuck on the M6 for 6 hours, trying to get across junction 14 from Eccleshall was impossible.

Some cloud with a stiff SW wind, current temperature 23.2C. But the temperature is considerably more in Stafford due to the fact that the M6 is shut southbound, the town and surrounding area is gridlocked!

No overnight thunder but a warm night with a low of 14.6C. There's a little cloud temperature is 15.7C pressure 1009 and humidity 84%. Today should be a warm sunny day.

Temperature dropped to 5.4C overnight. Current temperature is 9.6C pressure 1020 and humidity 100%, the outlook is for a dry sunny day with temperatures of 21 - 22C

Just read some of the posts for yesterday, looks like we were very lucky with our garden opening. We had two light showers at about 10:00am and two spots

Overcast start to the day but the outlook is for the cloud to clear leaving a bright and sunny afternoon. Temperature is 14.0C Pressure 1020mb and humidity 74%.

Grey and overcast here with showers showing on the radar coming in from the west. Just what we wanted as we are opening our garden today for the National Gardens Scheme. Temperature 15.3C pressure 1016mb and humidity 91%, expecting rain in a couple of hours.

Overcast and wet with an overnight low of 12.8C current temperature is 14.3C pressure 1012mb humidity 100%. The outlook is for rain most of the day.

I run an Oregon Scientific WMR 200 and have had 3 UV sensors that also record sunshine hours, they are probably the worst sensors I have had the misfortune to own. They usually cease to work after 12 - 18 months at a £40 a throw I'm not going to replace it again. I may well try the temperature sensor in a jar, as described by Brian Hamilton author of weather display. He recommends painting the base of the jar black, so it becomes a black body and gives full instruction as to how to set it up within weather display.

A dull overcast and wet start with 3mm of rain in the last hour. Temperature 15.1C, pressure 1014mb and humidity 96%, it should be brighter this afternoon before more rain this evening.

Overcast start but its warm and sultry. Temperature 18.7C pressure 1015mb and humidity 72% Posted a photo of some nice Mamma clouds seen here yesterday evening, see cloud gallery.

Some altocumulus with a lot of sunshine this morning current temperature 15.4C pressure 1021mb and humidity 80%. The outlook is for a warm sunny day but with some rain during the evening.

Cold overnight with a low of 6.3C, but warming up nicely here with a current temperature of 13.3C pressure 1024mb light west wind and the prospect of a dry sunny day in store.

Overcast dead calm here, temperature 19.5C, humidity 68% chance of a shower soon.

Lowest overnight temperature was -5.7C recorded at 02:56 am. Current temperature 1.7C with some broken cloud, looks like we may well see the last of the Boxing Day snow.

A bright frosty start current temperature -6.7C dead calm with a little fog. Looks like another cold and bright day. Coldest overnight temperature recorded for this year and pressure yesterday at 1042mb was the highest since 1045mb recorded on 23rd March 2011.

Temperature now starting to rise lowest recorded was -5.6C at 08:53

Temperature now -5.0C and still falling, still snow on the garden.

-3.7C here now falling at 0.4C in the last hour.

Maximum temperature today was 1.5C temperature now -2.5C and dropping like a stone. Still plenty of lying snow but ice and fog look like the real problem.

Sleet and wet snow here, but still plenty of lying snow.

35mm of snow here yesterday evening, ice everywhere this morning temperature 0.9C and dead calm. Very overcast and gloomy wouldn't be surprised if we don't have another flurry of sleet or snow soon. The radar shows that there is some about.

Glad to see we have a dedicated Midlands forum. Not been too bad here maximum gust recorded today was 21.3mph, however it looks like it may be our turn tomorrow evening.

Quite a pleasant start to the day with some sunny intervals.
