[MP-R]

Nice day here. Frosty this morning after a low of -1.4C. Fog dispersed earlier on and now sunny with lovely cirrus about.

[PersianPaladin]

After a cold and frozen morning, temperatures have risen to 7C in the sunshine. Quite glorious.

[Methuselah]

Cloudy with NE wind freshening all the while, light rain/sleet showers, 3C...

I cant believe how mild it has been today, currently 11.0°C and sunny.

[MP-R]

Been cool and sunny this afternoon with a high of 8.7C and feeling warm in the sun because of no cold wind. Cloud building up, mainly cumulus, to the southeast but otherwise clear. I think the rain had held off and stayed in the south.

[PersianPaladin]

Rather angry cloud heading my way from the north-east....

[Kent Snow]

6.4C, stratocumulus, dull, wind from the S.

[PersianPaladin]

Well....just watched the most savage attack on a developing shower cloud that i've ever seen. First, it seems mighty dark, bulky and threatening. 30 minutes later - it's all disolved into strato-cumulus muck.

:unsure:

The humidity must've rocketed in that time!
