  1. Still yet to see proper sunny blue skies as the last few days have been plagued with cloud and the odd sunny break. Got up to 19°C yesterday afternoon so the warmest day of the year so far for 2016.... A lot of cloud again this morning and a muggy feel with a current temp of 15.4°C, may exceed 20°C later if the sun gets out for any length of time. 

  2. Pretty rubbish Sunday so far with persistent rain and breezy conditions, despite that the temperature is higher than it's been for some days @ 10°C but not feeling all to pleasant atm. A significant warm up as we move through this week with potential for temps into the mid 20's for some and mid to high teens quite widely, feeling humid with it and a risk of thunderstorms later on.  

  3. Got back from Scotland this afternoon, was -4°C first thing this morning before setting off. Heading southwards from Loch Tay we drove through sleet, snow & hail with temps varying between 1°C to 5°C. Similar story back in Cumbria with heavy wintry showers, max temp on my weather station today has been 5.6°C, checked the calender and yep it's May in less then 3 days...

  4. Not very spring like up here today! Stopped at the edge of Loch Tay in the sunshine it looked stunning but only 5°C at 3pm in a biting wind... Got to the cottage about 15 mins later just before a mini blizzard blew through, love it! :)

  5. Today hasn't been as good as recent days with more cloud around and some showers this morning, not a bad evening though with some late sun as it heads towards the horizon. Top temp today was 10.6°C, currently 8.4°C.

    Setting off to Scotland tomorrow morning and it's looking likely that I'll see some falling snow and it certainly isn't going to be warm! Latest output has 850's around -8/-9°C with sub zero dew points, any ppn will likely be wintry.

    He's predicted prodomatly mild with Westerlies with a lack of blocking patterns, pretty much what we've had. Now we are getting this cold snap end of April beginning of May. Just like he predicted. This should prove to people who doubt his forecasting capabilities that he is one of Net weathers best forecasters!!

    Ian also predicted that March would be mainly dominated by strong west/north westerlies bringing cold air off the Greenland Icecap, frequent rain in the north west & Scotland along with gales at times across the north with the south having some dry sunny days later in the month as the storm track shifts further north.  

    After an unsettled first week or so we had nearly two weeks of settled weather under high pressure, the north was drier than average & parts of Scotland much drier than average with around 50% or less of the monthly average rainfall. Temperatures in the north were a little above average overall and Braemar was the hotspot recording 18.7°C on the 17th. The south of the UK saw average to above average rainfall for the month and Storm Katie brought heavy rain and damaging winds to the southern half of the UK on the 28th, the IOW recorded gusts in excess of 100mph.
