Same here. Sun's breaking through; need to shut curtains upstairs again.
Haha I’ve just done the same!
if I’d have fallen asleep for an hour or two I would have thought the sun had been beating down all day on awaking
sparkling blue skies here

Back to clear blue skies and hot sun here after a brief shower and clap of thunder. Didn’t even wet the ground!

Well after 15 minutes of rain and 2 claps of thunder we have blue skies as far as the eyes can see, no wind and hot sunshine. Certainly not what I was expecting. If anything it’s even more uncomfortable with same temps and higher humidity

A squally shower coming through this afternoon with soft hail and snow. Temp Circa 3c in Cwmbach around 450’ asl

Well here in the S Wales valleys nothing out of the very ordinary today
Windy? Yes but nothing notable here
Amazing what difference a few hills and 20 miles makes I guess.
Conversely with snow it can be a foot deep here and green in Cardiff
Fascinating stuff none the less
Here a yellow warning would have sufficed, certainly not an orange one let alone the red 10 miles down the valley
-
Well here in S Wales the wind turbines are still turning at 1300’ asl
I would have thought they would be turned away from the wind today
Guessing the strong winds aren't there yet then lol
Nothing of note here nearly an hour into the red warning (we are right on the edge of it here in RCT)

Remember too, a 70mph gust in a city can become 90mph when funnelled by buildings etc
Cardiff could see 80-90mph so add in the funnelling effect and you’re going to see many trees felled and roofs blown off
Cardiff will be a v dangerous place tomorrow as will Bristol

What happens to schools on red warning days? Do councils shut schools or is it carry on regardless ?
All schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf are now closed due to red warning
Trains also being suspended
and my guess is all public transport will be suspended and Cardiff airport will be closed for a period
My guess is that BOTH Severn crossings will be closed too

Looks like round 2 is starting
Snow getting heavier here and still -1 atm

Surely all the models can't be wrong.
Just a case of radar watching I guess
At this rate I’m guessing it will be in your area around 10-11am

Do you think it'll fizzle out?
It looks way too intense to fizzle
Its also tilting NW-SE
At this rate NI will struggle to get the snow and we will end up getting more

I fear it will be dry for most of us tomorrow but I’d love to be wrong
In the mean time I’ll share some pics of my parents house in N Kent who had around 8-9” of powder snow by yesterday morning
Today the snow has blown and cut off a couple of hamlets close by on the N Downs

Looking at the latest MetO forecast, no real snow at all for wales now so think we need to look to the next potential snow event in a few weeks time lol

Im not sure if the BBC weather uses the ECM data or not? I dont think they use the Met Office model (UKV) on tv anymore?
On 6 February 2018, the BBC began using the MeteoGroup graphics, which include: a seasonal "window on the weather" at the start of each bulletin. green land. high quality moving graphics reproduce detailed weather conditions represented by high-resolution data.
Not sure on the data they use tho
Id always go through the UKMet
BBC are not my go to

Another 10cm of snow fell last night, topping us out at just over 20cms on the grass this morning
Temp -5.5
Cloudy and calm
Probably the deepest snow since 2010/2018 here in Newnham, Kent

As I mentioned yesterday evening, don’t be surprised if you see an Amber warning for those in Kent and E Sussex this afternoon and this evening
As expected deep convection now beginning to fire up in a distinct streamer
Those in the firing line could add another 10-15cms before the end of the night.
Expect the streamer to migrate eastwards over the next 6-12 hours before finally leaving the Kent coast by tomorrow midday
