Cold, showery NW-lies are not really a good thing (Bright, but otherwise unpleasant). I would take mild and hazy SW-lies over cold NW-lies any day of the week
-
Has March really been that dire???? A dry week from the 3rd-9th, actually a rather spring-like second half (Although wet). Only the first two days and the 10th-14th have seen the real miserable conditions. It suppose it was duller than average because of the first half, then an average second half for sunshine
-
Summer8906 Difference is that this week it will be Easterlies dominating. This is probably going to be a case of misty mornings, warm and sunny days and most promised rain doesnt happen. Though, I could be completely wrong
-
Summer8906 I would say a good May would balance out a poorish March and April, so if this May is something like 2018, 2020 or even 2023, I would rate this season as an okay one. March and April has been a 4/10 each
-
Both tied with each other weather wise, but I would pick May 2018 solely because there was no lockdown and that weather continued through the summer. May 2023 would have joined them if the second half was like SW England in my area (Very sunny from the 13th onwards, with a mixed first 12 days)
-
Summer8906 With the way models are going (Warm and Thundery BH weekend, then cooler and drier), I wonder if it would be a May 2023 repeat but the fine spell starting a few days earlier. I would hope something like that does happen. i would say one good thing about this chilly spell we just had was that May wouldnt be as spartan and bland, tough probably still somewhat spartan
-
SunSean Wasnt April 2012 worse. Much colder and a complete washout, at least we had a few nicer days this month (E.g Storm Kathleen, 11th-14th, 20th/21st and Today). April 2018 was also horrific outside of that hot spell mid-month
-
B87 A bit of both. I think the May-September is achieveable and realistic, but October would be a miracle
-
B87 I think May will probably be dry after the first week, then June perhaps warm, sunny and settled first 10 days, then changeable and followed by a warm and dry July. August then maybe unsettled in the middle, but hot, sunny and dry at the start and end (A bit like 2019 or a warmer version of 2007). September perhaps the same vein as August, then October being the sunniest and driest on record (170 hours, pretty much wiping out almost all Marches and most Septembers)
-
April is likely to be the wettest and dullest since 2012, but didnt really feel all that awful for some reason. Better than 2000, 2001, 2012 and 2018, but perhaps slightly worse than last April
-
B87 As wet as Autumn was, it looks like we did good for sunshine. I wonder if we will get a spring-like Autumn to make up for this Autumnal spring
-
MP-R March 2022. That Easterly spell brought sunny days (More hazy then deep blue), and stunning sunsets between the 22nd and 26th. Maybe the air quality and sunset depends on how warm it is (March 19th 2022 didnt even bring a slight wisp of cirrus, but the sunset was somewhat boring) I just noticed that sunny Easterly (SE, E and NE) days look a lot different compared to sunny Westerlies
-
Idk if its just me, or does sunny days looks a lot fresher and clearer in Westerly or Southwesterly winds while a sunny Easterly looks more hazy (sunsets are glorious though). I notice this particularly in Feb-April and in Sep/Oct

viking_smb If it doesnt, then we're good. A cyclonic Easterly is -
SunSean I wonder if the sunshine totals were malfunctioned in my area. By the 13th, there was a 20+ hour difference between Nottingham and Lincoln, and most sunnier days still reported less than 2 hours of sunshine. I think I would actually have been around 75 hours by the 20th
-
SummerShower February 8th 2024 was the most pathetic excuse for a snow event ever. Forecasted a day like 3rd December 2023, but we actually got cold rain and a little bit of sleet all day
-
Daniel* 27th/28th April 2018 would have been a near-record low if it happened just a few days later
-
April 2024 so far gets a 4/10. Not felt too bad despite the only fine weather being the 11th-14th and 20th/21st. Storm Kathleen was actually quite pleasant. The issue is the rain days and low sunshine totals (The 16th brought in an unexpected thunderstorm at night) I'd says Spring 2024 has been a 4/10 so far too, as I would give March 2024 a 4/10 (Somehow looks excellent compared the that horrible March last year)
-
More of that unwelcome low pressure dares to return on Friday, but this time the winds are Easterly not Westerly. I suppose there is hope for Easterlies
-
One thing I noticed is that sunsets look much more stunning from Easterly winds for some reason, particularly at this time of year. The sunsets from August 2022s Easterly spell was fab too, as was yesterdays (NE wind)
-
SunnyG I hope this is true. our reality is 13c and drizzle all day
-
SunSean Time will tell. A May 2023 flip would make me want to sing and dance in front of thousands of people in town, even if I have to tolerate North Sea cloud and Cool breezes. May 2021 was a May equivalent of July 2023
-
I dread May will be another washout month, perhaps worse than 2021
-
Sun Chaser May 2023????? Sunny with temperatures stuck to the high-teens. Early-June 2013 and 2023 too
-
Despite the presence of high pressure, tomorrow is truly disgusting. Worst April day since 2018. This April so far has been rather poor too, but not quite as bad as 2012 or 2018
