  1. Arborfield is a small village outside Reading and we live on the village edge surrounded by open countryside. I think the Reading Met office / BBC temperature is based on the town centre. My weather station recorded a minimum last night of -5.2c before the cloud and milder air arrived. At 6.30am this morning it was already +1.5c.
  2. Evening all. -4.0c now here in Arborfield so will definitely need the scraper for the car in the morning!
  3. Afternoon all. Currently 9.6c here, misty and grey, very little wind or breeze. Off to watch my boys play footie now in Windsor.
  4. Tweet from Alex Deakin: Most of us will see sunny skies next few days but it'll get colder and windier. V cold tonight #Frost Temperature here falling quickly now 6.1c in Arborfield.
  5. Lovely out in the Garden this morning, warm enough for my shorts to make a reappearance while I was raking up the leaves and debris off our oak tree. Clouded up at lunch time with several very light showers. Blustery now but still mild.
  6. Here are some pictures of the storm damage from yesterday. One of the main branches of this ash tree were broken off and also slightly damaged the roof of our shed. I am not certain, but I think this must have happend when the squall line came through as it produced a 58mph gust on the roof of our house. I would agree as we had our strongest gusts in Arborfield as the squall line passed through about 6am and Polar Bear commented on this in her neck of the woods.
  7. BBC radio Berkshire reporting the worst of the wind will hit our county around 8 am which is worrying as it's ferocious out there now. Just want it to be over.
  8. BBC Berkshire reporting that the worst of the winds are to hit the county between 8-9 am this morning which is scary as it's already ferocious out there,
  9. Worst it has been all night here in Arborfield near Reading. Last 10 minutes really frightening wind gusts which are virtually constant.
  10. Pretty impressive lightning and thunder here in Arborfield near Reading. The rain is intermittent at the moment , has been heavy at times over the last 15 - 20 minutes. Lost our satellite signal briefly.
  11. Storm much closer now, rain has arrived and thunder and lightning closer to me.
  12. Fairly impressive lightning to my south and south west but thunder is pretty distant. No rain yet.
  13. Not strictly weather related but just spent 20 minutes in the back garden star gazing under cloudless skies and managed to spot three lovely shooting stars. Worth a peek if you have time but it is chilly!
  14. Morning all from a cloudy Arborfield. 17c here with light breeze. Rain just starting from grey overcast skies.
  15. We have had several more heavy downpours this evening but none lasted more than 5 - 10 minutes but the rain was very intense. I drove back from Chippenham down the M4 today at lunchtime through a thunderstorm and within the space of a mile or so left torrential rain to be back in sunshine with a dry road. Interestingly the temperature in Chippenham when I left in the storm was 16C and was 23c when I got back to Reading in the sunshine.
  16. Yes, we are the other side of the village near Pudding lane nursery so about a mile from you I expect.
  17. Torrential rain here in Arborfield near Reading for the last ten minutes with the odd rumble of thunder. We had some lightning about 45 minutes ago. Looks like storm cells pushing up from the south and south west.
  18. Really heavy now now in Arborfield and yellow weather warning issued for my part of the world for snow.

  21. Morning all. Heavy settling snow here in Arborfield near Reading. Anyone know what it's doing in Newbury as my boys are supposed to be playing football at 9.30am?
  22. Morning all, a light dusting here in Arborfield last night. Settled on cars and side roads but virtually all gone now. No precipitation at the moment but it sounds like we may get some more moving up from the south east.
