I know it’s March and we get mixed weather at the best of times, but this is a joke now. It rains every single day. The outlook isn’t great either, some high pressure building but lots of cloud before it transitions over Scandinavia and leaves us cold. 
 

Really depressing. Feels like we are in for a wet spring and summer this year.

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Some lovely strong sunshine today. Temp is getting on for 14C. T-shirt for now. Clouds are darkening though. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Sweet Jesus the sun is out. For the first time in what feels like an eternity 11C, no wind, bright, warm sunshine. Now that’s lovely. 

Had the dreaded sickness bug that’s been going round, really nasty, possibly the nastiest one I’ve had to date. Just starting to come back round and feel myself again, and this weather helps. Shame it’ll probably be the last time until Wednesday next week that we see the sun, we really do live in a poor climate.

Super heavy hail. Temp covering. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Temp has just fell by 5.5C in 10 minutes. That’s insane! Rain and ice pellets currently. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Soft hail shower. Looks nice, but go away please. I’ve just lay a new lawn

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

We just got an absolute bombardment of ice pellets and snow. I assume that’s the cold air being mixed out. Temp has risen too. That’s all for now. And hopefully that’s all until autumn. 
 

Winter 22/23, you’ve been terrible. Sincerely, NW England.

It's moving through quickly tho.

Probably for the best. As much as I love seeing it fall, it’s just a visibility hindrance whilst I’m in work.

Has it really, might see a cm cover at this rate, it is coming down thick and fast, evaporative cooling doing its job and most surfaces are now quickly turning wet. Might need to go on a brief walk in the next hour before it all goes..

Yeah warmer air will steam in around 8pm unfortunately. Always the way when an event is going the right way!

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Even the smaller bits are snow now. No rain. 
temp has another 2 hours to drop, then it’s on the rise. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

1.5C now. Wet snow continues to fall. Another temp drop and it’s the good stuff 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Sleet has turned to heavy wet snow 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Back to sleet 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Just plain rain now. Hopefully that’s it till next autumn. I’m more than ready for some spring warmth and sunshine 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Big flakes now!

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

This is at 30m elevation. It’s turned to sleet again but any height and you’re in business. 
 

 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Erm. Well, yeah. 
 

2.5C, moderate snow…. Can you believe that

Except when rain is forecast.

True. We’ll see. You’re in a good position for it regardless mate! Enjoy!

Evaporative cooling really taking place. 50/50 now. Sleet.

Wont be anything on low ground.

 

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I’m still confident that some areas could see a transient spell as temperature begin to fall. 6-8pm being the best time for it. There’s not going to be anything meaningful, but there’s flakes in the rain here already!

I’m aware that the uppers, 0C iso and DAM are all heading in the wrong direction, but this is the NW, the land that defies all forecasts and variables. 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Snow mixed in with the rain now. 3.5C

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Low ground will see some of the action tomorrow night. Probably around 2-3 hours of a wet wintry mess before it turns completely to rain. 200m and above prob an extra couple of hours with temporary accumulations 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

I imagine even the hills are going to struggle to hold onto this snow today. That sun has some real strength to it now. 5C here and no coat is required. Almost all traces of a wintry night have disappeared 

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

We had about 2 inches here. Couldn’t get up and enjoy it though, little lad was up all night vomiting. 
 

Looked out window, looks like the march sun is making short work of the snow!

Dp too high

Not possible, DP can’t be higher than the temp, the temp is 0.0C

[Northwest Weather Discussion]

Temperature is now 0C, heaviest snow of the day and it won’t stick. What is wrong with it
