Thursday 1st May 2008: Sun 'n' Cloud. Melton Mowbray at 06:30hrs 7.9'C; overnight recorded low 5.9'C A tale of two halves for today's commute to York from Melton Mowbray. This morning broke clear, sunny and cool. It was a sunny drive to Grantham along the A607 and on board the train heading north the sun remained. Everything changed between Newark and Retford as North Nottinghamshire had more cloud cover. This led to a complete band of cloud by the time the train got north of Doncaster with the gloom blocking out the sping sunshine. York this morning is cool and overcast. Tomorrow: Mist first thing, then sunshine & showers.

Tuesday 29th April 2008: The Vale of Fog Melton Mowbray 06:30hrs 4.2'C Melton Mowbray this morning was clear, dry and sunny; if a little on the cool side. The glorious conditions continued throughout the commute to Grantham by car and towards York on the train. A complete change in the weather occurred about 15 miles south of York, where low lying mist in the fields through the Hambleton area suddenly thickened up into quite a foggy patch. The fog remained until the Copmanthorpe area on the outskirts of York where it cleared to leave a bright sunny morning. Tomorrow: Cloudy with rain…

Monday 28th April 2008: Cloudy and Cool; up North. Melton Mowbray 06:30hrs 7.9'C What an interesting weather weekend in Melton Mowbray it has been. Sunday was a very summery day. I was outside in the garden for most of the afternoon and whilst enjoying a beer on Sunday evening I would admit to it feeling really pleasant in the warm evening sunshine. That ended dramatically with a storm at about 1830. The sky turned black from the southwest and a few rumbles of thunder soon became a dramatic display lightening right across the town. It was mainly sheet lightening with some visible fork lightening. The rain was heavy and intense and the whole cell hung around for about 30 minutes or so before moving off in a North Easterly direction. This morning broke sunny and warm in Melton Mowbray and similar conditions continued through the commute to work. North of Doncaster the cloud began to build from the west and disappointingly York is under a blanket of cloud with some light drizzle and pretty cool. Tomorrow: Sunshine and showers…
