Hello am I reading the charts wrong? GFS 12 doesn’t look terrible next week after the low dips down to Iberia meaning the U.K. is back under orange below that black line.

Fine and partly sunny day here but it’s freaky cold for this time of year. This is why I hate a late season SSW. They always end up bringing northern blocking which is the deathknell for spring warmth as they tend to result in northerlies

April hasn’t been a dumpster fire here. Only the first week was truly poor but since has been a pretty meh and forgettable month.Some sunnier and nicer days with some overcast and cold days. All in I’d give this April a 4/10. Lack of any true warm or sustained sunshine keeps it in the low-mediocre range.

After a lovely Satuday with wall to wall sunshine and cloudy but dry and usable Sunday Monday is vile so far with 4c and drizzle. Bugger off northern blocking don’t come back until November. Cold wet northerlies are

What are some synoptic set ups that are good certain times of the year but bad at others? Bartletts pop to mind, in summer they are good bringing hot anticyclonic southerlies (2018 and 2022 both strike me as Bartlett summers) but while not the worse set up in winter given that it at least can keep Atlantic lows at bay it’s the deathknell for any snow/cold.

11.8 and 70mm

Overcast and drizzly morning but started brightening up about an hour ago. April so far I would give a 3.5/10 a pretty meh month with no real heat,sustained sunshine or exciting weather and the first week was very poor but also many usable days. Not a month cursed to bogey man status but not a month that will be remembered fondly ether.

Lovely day here sunny and warm. Feels like a drug trip for real after the past 6 months of cloud rain and wind!

On another note I hope we are leaving the wet pattern we’ve had since October. GFS this morning has nothing terrible looking apart from a brief cut off low but that’s in far FI.

Scorcher As a climate fan I shall give my thoughts. I’d say around 2200 a year. On par with a Balkans climate. Although even with non inflated sunshine figures Boston has impressively sunny winters for a wet coastal climate at 42N.

The past 6 months has been pretty much the same with 80% of days being 8-12c and raining. The Atlantic weather has been nonstop since October.

2013 and 2018 pop to mind for me.

Met office going for sunny spellls while BBC going for non stop rain the coming week. March has been pretty meh not terrible but pretty blah with no real early settled warmth but not a hellish washout ether. I’d give it a 3/10.

This March so far is diet Marxh 2023. Not quite as wet and gloomy with more usable days but pretty meh still.

cheeky_monkey Bad timing with todays rainband my eastern counterpart. We had your rain yesterday it seems it was awful yesterday :P.
