Tuesday 6th December Weather & General Chat

[Backtrack]

Thought I would start the topic on the stroke of midnight! Some interesting weather going on out there at the minute.

It's 3.7C here with a dewpoint of 1.0C.

Been getting absolutely hammered with hail here today, and had a low overnight of 2.1C.

Hoping to see some snow on Friday!

[BlueHedgehog074]

Feeling chilly outdoors with a temperature of 1.7*C, and a fairly gentle wind. Snow shield in full power here. In fact, we've also got a hail shield in full force too (lol). A risk of some... *gulp*... rain showers here later on today (nooooooo!) with a slim chance of wintriness to the showers. Although it should still make for a fairly active day weather-wise.

Agreed with Friday. Fingers crossed it gets those snow shields taken care of once and for all!

Heard them talking about it on the BBC radio weather this morning Bob, how deep is it?

About 6-7cms, main problem is the wind, Gale Force gusting to 55kts causing drifting.

Clear blue skies, 1C and frosty. Few showers made it this far east but fell as rain due to being light.

[Andy Bown]

Since Sunday evening there has been well over an inch of rain in an approx 10 mile wide wedge from the Bristol Channel across Somerset into SW Wiltshire/Dorset due to a persistent shower streamer. The streamer is still going but has lightened in intensity since mid morning and also edged slightly further North so that the latest shower is over my postcode.

A cold, breezy and hazily sunny morning with the temperature at 6.7c after 2.0c minimum, humidity is 84%.

[Backtrack]

Temperature falling rapidly here now. Down to 4.7C after a high of 5.7C earlier. Don't know why, there's no precipitation falling.

[Liam J]

After dipping to 0.5c this morning the temp has just struggled up to 4.2c, one hail shower earlier but a mainly dry and bright day.
