Might just reach your hill!

Wedges make sledges!

2 days without rain i must be dreaming can we make it 3 days? Overnight low -1.2c Currently -0.8 Monthly temperature average now plummeting

Early signal of some snow flurries around tomorrow afternoon and evening heading east to west.

The 18z gfs says Wedges make Sledges

As mentioned earlier and to put a bit more meat on the bones GEM has indicated a possible snow event for central southern england on the 10th. ICON didn't really run with it so lets see what the GFS suggests

Please please yesterday the last deluge for a while! I saw that corfe castle had flooding. Know that stretch well. Overnight low of 1.9c. Looking ahead Tuesday for our region looks particularly cold. Certainly an ice day for the moors.

All those getting excited by the odd snow grain in the south east next week! Well I say why wait till next week. If you're prepared to climb up to 2000ft on dartmoor, the future is already here!

Happy new year folks - back to work now and so have better access to the forums....don't ask. Looking good for some dry weather now which is such a blessed relief!!! Dartmoor is generally a bog but its nearly as sodden as i can ever remember it! A quick look back to 2023 the average temperature for the year in my location was 11.2c on a par with 2022. December 2023 averaged at 7.9c the warmest December in the 5 years I started recording weather observations. I should think this months average temperature will be a lot lower looking at the charts! Overnight low here was 3c Cheers all

Wah! Who doesn't like a 4c drop in temperature in 10 minutes! Epic

Morning all - Been a bit quiet here suffering with an end of term cold. Feeling right lousy! Good day today as its my last day at work before christmas. I know its a bit early but from tomorrow I am on jury duty. Eeeek! First time! Weatherwise we had a maximum of 11.2c over night, temperature has been dropping since midnight currently 9.8c

Now that was a wet day - so yesterdays total was 47.8mm. Eeeek Overnight low of 5.9c

37mm of rain so far today - southern slope of dartmoor means we are the prime spot of this weather warning! Overnight low of 7.7c Lots of excited chatter on the MAD thread of charts at 15 days away. Might put the Samaritans number up there around 4.30 this afternoon.......

Fear not on the railway front! I do drive but am utterly baffled by the railway infrastructure that was hastily lost in the 60's and what an amazing integrated transport network we could of had if foresight was in operation. Pivoting back to the weather - just look at dawlish a brisk south easterly these days closes the railway on the wall, it wouldn't be a problem if the north route was still there!

Nippy one last night got down to 0.2c. Temperatures recovering well before the next onslaught of rain.

A near constant 5.5c last night from 12.30. Dull weather!

Temperature drop of 2c in 30 minutes at lunch today from 7.9 down to 5.9c. Now at 5.5c a cold dank day thankfully not under that constant blanket of rain further up country!

Back to the normal damp murky moorland climate! Fun while it lasted Temperatures peaked at 3.30 this morning with a high of 8.9c have trundled down to 7c now..

Got down to -4.3c overnight. How low did you go?

Interesting developments for Monday for down here. Met office going for snow on the higher moor and top temperature for my location at 4c. Where as BBC/meteogroup going for 7c and rain. Obviously how the incoming low pressure interacts with the cold block is still subject to change Today the met office got it right temperature wise, their suggestion of 4c max was spot on

Average temperature for November 2023: 7.9 2022: 9.4 2021: 7.8 2020: 9.1 2019: 7.2

Down to -0.9c last night. Decided to drive to work via a detour to find a bit of snow. The snowline being around 325 metres. Still blowing a hoolie up top so didn't hang around for long

Snowing again here. Light stuff being blown around by the breeze.

Still the tops of the moor are keeping that band of snow from hitting here. So close!

That band in west Dorset is really pepping up. Rush hour could be alot of fun
