    Apparently meant to be 19c later but considering it's midday and only 13c still, I'm not quite sure how! Looks like elsewhere is fairing better whilst the South wallows under dross again.

    Bristawl Si Yes, that poem/song was written in June

    Sun Chaser my area was saved predominantly by the last couple of days of April, which bumped the hours up a fair bit

    SunnyG Low Pressure is the UK"s middle name by this point

    Summer8906 Issue is how long it takes this country to 'recover' from a stormy set up like this. It creates a gloomy, humid hangover for the following 24-48 hours! When I was in Slovenia last year, there was a huge storm on my final day. Absolutely biblical rain and massive thunder. Last all morning, then was done. By about 2 / 3pm the clouds had started to clear again and giving way to sun, with a fresher feel as the humidity lifted. By evening, it was fully clear again. We just don't get that here, unfortunately.

    SunnyG did you not enjoy your last 48hours of dryness? Some people are never happy We need rain. However else will our swamp gardens be able to create new species of moss!?

    Summer8906 It's comparing the lesser of two evils, essentially. Bread with a few spots of mould is easier to tolerate vs bread that's completely mouldy. Sure, the climate of SE England isn't exactly the tropics, Andalusia, or the Aegean, but it's certainly preferable to Cumbria or Glasgow

    Northwest NI Indeed. North West nearly always fares better in April-June, whereas wider Britain (usually) takes the reigns from July onwards. I say usually, because years like 2023 can occur wherein high summer is absolute dross.

    The next 48 hours are going to be incredibly dull in my area. Perhaps not a single hour of sunshine recorded. Very poor for May.

    SunSean I got jolted out of bed by a gigantic explosive at about 5.30am. Probably one of the biggest thunderclaps I've ever heard. Thought Putin had pressed the big red button for a second tbh. Watched the flashes outside the window for about 10 mins then went back to bed

    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.
  12. In Absence of True Seasons
    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.
  16. In Absence of True Seasons
    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!"
  18. In Absence of True Seasons
    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
  19. In Absence of True Seasons
    Could be worse! (Pigeon photobomb alert!)

    Tomorrow's forecast description sums up Spring 2024 in a nutshell.

    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.
  22. In Absence of True Seasons
    Northwest NI That's alot better than pretty much all of England, Wales and Scotland! So congrats
  23. In Absence of True Seasons
    Andrea Because it's Britain and we can't have nice things
  24. In Absence of True Seasons
    Getting better out there. Clearing up earlier than predicted.
  25. In Absence of True Seasons
    SunnyG yes. Well, I mean, it's May, so i'd expect not!
