What's the point of being kooped up indoors on a weekend, if it's sunny get out there.

Today looks another great day for London town, bar the odd shower, get your self out of the wind and once again the sun will feel pleasant with temps maxing at 13c...

I'm out in my garden every weekend whether its cold, snow, rain, hot or sunny! I am officially obsessed.

13 degrees??

Warmest in UK today Exeter at 11 degrees. London maxed out at 10 degrees.

9°C here, with quite a strong gusts - it's like March winds and April showers all in one day.... most of the showers have been of hail, it's certainly been fun watching the clouds rolling by as I've chillaxed in the conservatory this afternoon

Hi Snowangel!

Well, we have had a couple of hail storms in the past couple of days with thunder and lightning, didn't last long, temperatures constantly dropping, although blue skies today, just very cold.

Poor Mr JJ (Southernman, who doesn't post very often) is outside working in this tonight and is freezing.I've packed him off with plenty of hot bovril.

So cold here today and I've got a tiny baby bird just six days old, he's been down my bra most of the morning and then wrapped in a sock to keep him warm! unsure.png

All this talk of cold weather and then this post, reminding us all of the often overlooked benefits of a warm front.....

Accdg to met office site, visibilty locally is 45 km. In the dark! Quite impressive, but I can see some stars so I think they need a better telescope.

Looks like today will be our last sunny day for a few. Rain rain rain from tomorrow.

I read yesterday that our drought could last til Xmas....would that mean the hosepipe ban too? Hope not.

I'm liking the prospect towards the end of the month with the trough positioning itself sw UK and pulling up milder air....so perhaps end of April/May could see some thundery potential again. I rinsed almost my whole months data allowance (500mb) last week tracking storms! And I didn't even get a rumble!

So I would prefer it to wait til May so I've got my 500mb again!

Friday the 13th on the A1m in Cambridgeshire between Sawtry and Peterborough we saw a 'twister' in the sky.

A couple of other motorists stopped on the hard shoulder to take a picture, but I caught it on video with my iPhone.

You can see it on my youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P2xjrrWaFU

I'm not entirely sure whether its a twister or a water spout - as looking at the map there is a large lake in the direction I filmed.

Anyway enjoy the video and did anyone else see it ?

LOL! Luckily one of the adult birds has come back today and is looking after the baby, yesterday I was so worried for him all alone in the cold!I just wonder what the adult bird thinks, "hmmmmmmmm I'm sure the baby wasn't wrapped in a blue sock when I left...."

Wow lucky you.... I wish I had seen it, great video - it looks like a funnel cloud to me as it doesn't appear to touch down but some good rotation going on there good.gif

I remember seeing a funnel cloud just after leaving work, during the late 1990's in the Colchester area. I'd driven through some extremely heavy rain and then there is was, right in front of me; I'd guess less than 100m away! The rotation was very obvious.

I'm not sure whether it touched the ground and became a tornado, but it must have been a close thing. I was too surprised to stop and properly observe.

On reaching home, I phoned the Anglia News weather number to report it, but no-one answered the phone. However other reports then corroborated my experience.

Nothing like the central plains of the USA, but nonetheless very memorable.

Kaddy can go.....

She said she loved my weather photo via an email on a website I was using and asked if she could use it on her blog, I said sure and she never did... I emailed her back asking if she was still going to use it and she never did and didn't reply. There was also once last year on facebook that I asked if the weather was going to be nice for our holiday on the weekend and she banned me. True story, not once did i insult her but behind that beautiful front is a dark core
