Hence my comment was following the day maxes question, at which point hopefully the sun will be shining. Unless of course we get lots of snow which would be great.

Barely below freezing for the south at night time. Guess it will feel cold in the wind. Would be interested to know what the day maxes are. Its also nearly March by that point so might feel quite pleasant out of the wind.

Yes but down here even the 2013 event was a non event so for me I am done for winter 2017. Onto summer for me

No, it most likely won’t be. Most in mid winter are not bitterly cold let alone March. Of course it can happen but 9.9 times out of 10 it will feel cold but with temps well above freezing.

Good point

maxes of 2/3 seem high bearing in mind the uppers of -12/13. What sort of uppers do we need to get subzero maxima?

I think as a rule of thumb you deduct 10 from the uppers in early feb. Anyone confirm?

Yes, the weather has made mugs of all of those mentioned however it's still managed to give us a bang on average boring winter with little of interest Lol They should of stuck with that forecast. always a safe bet for th uk

If it turns out that way its quite remarkable in itself

The screen shot is for Tuesday frosty

Unbelievable for an easterly

Its looking like a decent cold spell agreed. I wouldn't say very cold at this stage. 2/3 degs is just a standard cold spell imo. They type we used to get before the proper cold came in. Lets hope that happens, although we are running out of time.

The one thing that I have noticed is that the real cold uppers are always 10 days away. That has been the case for the last 2/3 days.

Thanks. Why is the grass temperature so high

Well with temperatures around freezing and cloud cover 6 days of frost starts to melt in central Reading. Shame if it where sunny with the same temp it would not melt in the shade but with the clouds it does. Anyone know why?

It was reading-1. Seems to be spot on during the night but lower during the day. That said it's a very shade north facing spot

Thanks. Sounds like mine might be reading a little low then.

What was your max in binfield today. 2.4 in tilehurst. New weather station and based on the maxes predicted of 6/7 just wanting to sense check

Same here in Tilehurst, everything frozen over for days. Looks like its been snowing in the shade with frost that has persisted for days on end. Yet, watching bbc weather this morning with predictions of 6/7 degrees as per the last 3/4 days suggests something different. Slighlty confused as over the last week google has reported current temps of 6/7 in Reading but yet my weather station has been saying 1-3 maxes, inluding today which maxed at 2.4c. Yet, radio said it was 6c. Anyone else getting this anomaly?

I guess because the high is sinking with too much energy on top.

Looking at the charts I couldn't see any ice days next week. Have I missed something?

Aah I remember the same being said around early Jan 2010. 3 days later 36cm of laying snow in Tilehurst

Aah. I remember a northerly in early Jan 2010. I remember this board being very downbeat with the predicted temps of 1 or 2 degs and it being "bone dry". Fast forward to Jan 5th in Reading and there is an even 34cm on the ground.The next few days were clear crisp ice days.All went a bit slushy thereafter. I am not saying this will happen. Just that a longer northerly often comes up with something.

Uppers don't look too cold to my untrained eye.2-3c maxes in the south? What I would class as cold not very cold?

South Florida is tropical, I beleive
