Crazy mild tonight in London. Still 17c at this time of evening. Feels more like a July evening than early May. Quite wild how it's warmer *now* at 9pm than it was for much of the day earlier. -

Don I more or less agree. Milder, wetter, cloudier Nov to March, then drier and sunnier April to Sept (as a general trend, obviously outlier years and periods will exist). Perhaps we (or at least parts of England) will eventually become more akin to something like Northern Spain or Northern Portugal - maritime type climate but warmer. -

danm Last 2/3 days have actually been far better than originally predicted. Friday looking increasingly woeful unfortunately but who knows, may also end up being better than forecast. -

Catbrainz Realistically the poor weather started last March, after the sunny and dry Feb. Every single month since then has been predominantly dull, wet and mild aside from June 2023, the Sept 2023 heatwave, and Jan 2024 (saved purely by that week-long cold snap). I can't recall where I read it, but apparently this has been one of the wettest protracted 18-month spells on record. -

Alderc 2.0 the predicted settled HP spells is now....NEXT WEEK! The eternal "10 days out" like a dog chasing a bone on an ever moving string lol. -

I hope I'm wrong, but my fears are that such winter-spring periods will become more common as time progresses, due to climate change. Our general Oct to April periods seem to be getting milder (but also wetter and duller, as a result). What was the main clear, dry spell we had in the last few months? The cold snap in Jan lol... -

My phone reminding me that 1st of May 2023, was in fact, superior to the 1st of May 2024 I'd taken a photo so I imagine it must've been the first decent day for some time to the extent I'd gone "woah, sun, I need to capture this!" -

Metwatch Good comparison. A result of the early-onset milder temps since Feb, I'd imagine. Definitely not as a result of an abundance of sunshine -

Quite a hilarious live cloud map of Europe atm. Basically spotlessly clear in the Baltics, most of central and eastern Europe (perfect conditions for Russia's invasion in Ukraine, eh?) whilst UK, France and parts of Italy etc wallow under dross. These big regional disparities keep occuring. -

SunnyG yes. Well, I mean, it's May, so i'd expect not! -

SunnyG Indeed. Should be better by mid afternoon, but yeah, 48 hours max of clearish weather at a time is about as much as we manage in the era of Spring 2024 -
Sunshine Level Watch 2024
In Absence of True Seasons replied to SunSean's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
Terminal Moraine Unsurprising. I think London scraped by with about 70% of average sunshine in the end but a big part of that is as a result of these last 2 days which recorded 10 hours of sun. A very dull month all around, like most of the months in the last 12, lol (aside from Sept and June 2023 ofc). -

Today now looking to end up a bit better than forecast in my area. Cloud (should be) clearing later on for about 18c the high. -

Alderc 2.0 anything that far out is crystal ball stuff tbh. It'll probably change numerous times between now and then. The forecast for the BH Sat and Sunday in my area has changed from 18/19c and sunny to 15c and rainy and now back up to 18c and mostly sunny again, all in the space of the last 24 hours -

Summer8906 Very much the case out there, especially in Alberta and BC. When I visited Calgary and the rocky mountains a few years back, I was checking the weather closely in the few weeks before we arrived there. In May it went from 30c, to snowing, back to 30c again. During my 2 weeks there it was a mix hail, some snow at elevation, and then solid days of sunny and 20-30c (this was in June). Its a mix but it quickly flips back to pleasant conditions again. I'd honestly rather have that than the UK's situation wherein we get stuck in the same 10-15c and mostly cloudy pattern for literally weeks (or months) on end. -

SunSean business as usual (in this context, meaning grey/overcast weather)
