    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!"
  6. 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
  7. 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.

    Northwest NI That's alot better than pretty much all of England, Wales and Scotland! So congrats
  11. In Absence of True Seasons
    Andrea Because it's Britain and we can't have nice things
  12. In Absence of True Seasons
    Getting better out there. Clearing up earlier than predicted.
  13. In Absence of True Seasons
    SunnyG yes. Well, I mean, it's May, so i'd expect not!
  14. In Absence of True Seasons
    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
  15. In Absence of True Seasons
    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).
  16. In Absence of True Seasons
    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
  19. In Absence of True Seasons
    *Stormforce~beka* another day in Cloudshester, Cloudshire eh

    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.

    danm there was no zoom! An entire blanket appeared BUT has actually dispersed since into smaller clouds lol I have pstd from one big cloud rolling in and taking up the sky SunSean Cute doggo! And a rare London photo from you
  22. In Absence of True Seasons
    Aaaaaand here it comes! Don't fret though, the sun will re-emerge at 5-7pm as per usual
  23. In Absence of True Seasons
    SunSean business as usual (in this context, meaning grey/overcast weather)
  24. In Absence of True Seasons
    SunSean Yeah very regional. Progressively cloudier as the day goes on here in London, which is the opposite of yesterday which actually cleared as the day went on and became full clear with just a few wisps by mid to late afternoon. Back to BAU tomorrow and Thursday.

    Wade Days of 40c+ is incredibly hot, and I say that as someone who can tolerate heat well. I've experienced it a few times - Dubai, Egypt, and Seville. Luckily I was on holiday for all of those, in shorts and a linen shirt or just in swimming trunks by the pool/beach sipping on an ice-cold beer. That's quite a different context from having to live and work in such heat. Sun Chaser shame we cannot simply all enjoy decent conditions together. If the west gets lucky, the east suffers, if we fare better, then the west gets the dross.
