Oh I see you have to select the text now.
Thanks.

Not sure what the point then of that button bottom left is then.

Sun is finally out here.

Odd, the reply button seems to have gone on here.
Anyone else not seeing it.
There is a new button, bottom left,  but that just seems to add the poster name of the thread above, how strange.

Record January Low here, for at least 11 years anyway at -5.4°C. It just doesn't get particularly cold here in these 'ere suburban gardens. Could still go a bit lower, and my record for any month is -6.0°C during the Beast from the East!

Brrr, that is a cold low for that area of Fareham.

Will be planting Broad beans in the cold greenhouse tomorrow in seed trays for planting outside in late feb. Awaiting my compost delivery today, sun is so bright today, cannot see the front path well enough on cctv camera, so listening hard.

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Lovely day today, bright sunny spells, clear blue sky.

Quite a downgrade for Wed this morning with the forecasts.

A long way off…

[South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

Warmed up nicely today, 5c now.
The forecast temps were spot on today for timings.

The light NNE wind does make it fell a few degrees colder. But the sunny spells have helped keep it pleasant.

Looking forward at the current forecasts, the 7-9c daily temps make any snow/sleet here in a week or more very unlikely.
A long way off though.

No frost here, sun is out now.
