hi from sunny donny
well reached 26.1C the highest thisyear and the highest since early September last year.
looks a reasonable week on all the forecasts but I notice that by Friday the max temps really take a dive.

hello from sunny donny
yep its really living up to its nickname, not a cloud in the sky, no wind, temp is 17.1C. I'm off hiking in the Peak District, so I shall need the pint when I get to the pub! Yesterday it got to 23.5C, making it the second warmest day this year.

Hello
Well it was 'sunny donny', a lovely morning and early afternoon with a max of 19.5C, now its 15C and cloudy. I guess, looking at the 1200 baratic from the Met Office, that this is the cloud from the front in the North Sea. Goodbye sun for the weekend, here at any rate!

Hi
Hope its ok to start a new thread.
April 2004 in this area may be the one of the warmest ever recorded. The mean temperature was 10.6C which, so far as I can tell, has only been beaten once, way back in 1943 with 11.2C.
Other figures are avge Max=15.3C, avge Min=6.0C
days with rain=16(average=14)
days with snow=1(average=2 falling and 1 lying)
days with air frost=1(average=4)
days with ground frost=2(average=11)
anyone else had much higher temps than usual?

Hi
I thought a new post for this information. If the mods do not think so pse put where you think most appropriate.
March Mean temp here was/is 7.0C, compared to 7.4C in 2003 and 2002, 5.1C in 2001 and 8.3C in 2000. Nothing remarkable there.
days with rain16(13); snow 2&0(5&1)=days with snow and lying snow.
air frost 3(
and ground11(14), with 1 day with fog(3) and nil with thunder(0+)figures in brackets are long term averages.

hi
may i ask when posting current weather info, if there is no indication in your address on the left hand side of the screen, it would be very helpful if you gave your location. also if you are reporting from somewhere other than your usual location.
here in doncaster its 12C, breezy and mostly cloudy but dry, after a few 'spits in the wind' late this morning.

hi
cottesmore is about 15 miles south of Grantham, just off the A1. In fact if you are travelling south you can see the airfield from the a1. or if travelling north, this time it will be on your left! or about 10 miles east south east of melton mowbray.
hope that helps

hi again
further to my comment about raf cottesmore rainfall being very doubtful; look at the observations around it, none reported more than 2mm in the 12 hours ending 1800z(gmt) today.
the wx online site which originally quoted it does seem liable to big errors at times with no apparent check made on some entries.

hi
that 100mm at raf cottesmore has to be wrong. no one else in the uk, even the sw has even half of that total.

hi again
further to post at 09.23
try this site
a bit too far south for many of the low countries and north germany but gives the flavour for what is on the way for se england.
the bbc infra red met office satellite shows the cloud on

hi
not an actual snow report but what may occur, so pse keep this in this area moderators.
anyone who understands plotted weather charts, look at this
http://meteocentre.com/analyse/map.php?hou...g=en&map=Europe
it show a large area of snow over nearby europe. the upper winds are a bit far back(by which I mean a shade to much north in them rather than south), they are mainly ene'ly over the continent and southern uk, BUT it might mean that parts of e anglia and areas sw of that MIGHT get some of this during this afternoon.
happy snow hunting

hi ds
where you get that culdrose snow depth report from? the max snow depth i can find(1100) is aviemore and aberdeen. mind you the culdrose rainfall amount is quoted as 31mm in 6 hours from 0600.

hi
just for a change, some temperature info, well seeing as there is no snow here.
mean temp over the last 6 days is 2.2C, more like mid january, feb mean, so far= 4.5C, and the long term average around here is 3.7C.
above avge february's are much more the norm in the past few years;
2003=3.9C; 2002=7.2C; 2001=4.4C; 2000=7.1C; 1999=6.1C; 1998=8.8C; 1997=7.2C
like Oscar Wilde was once quoted as saying; 'lies, dman lies and statistics'.
