[Interitus]

Dew points in the mid-teens for many areas - feeling 'properly' warm even with cloud.

[BlueHedgehog074]

Indeed, having been outside, it has actually felt very mild. Would even go as far as saying that even with the rain that occured yesteray, it didn't really feel all that cold (although still maybe a little on the cool side).

Temperature now up to 16.1*C, though perhaps with a small risk of thundery showers/storms later.

[Bottesford]

After a wet night today is dry with a lot of cloud and the odd sunny spell.

It feels lovely and humid though so for once it doesn't feel cold despite the howling wind. Even got the windows open!

Max of 19.7c so far - will we finally beat the max year set in March?

[Andy Bown]

After heavy rain and gales overnight the morning was dry, windy, overcast and humid.

There has been a very heavy shower in the last half an hour which has lowered the temperature to 13.8c after it was 15.1c earlier.

[Aaron]

Cloudy, 9.9C, wind NE at 8mph

Yup.. today is looking cold and uneventful. Frustrating is an understatement. Sometimes I hate this horrible little island.

Impressive. Looks like you might just beat it with the amount of daylight there's still to go. (as longs I suppose there's no rain/showers or anything).

In fact, looking through the thread, there does seem to be some huge temperature contrasts at the moment.

Mostly cloudy but very warm with a temperature of 19.1C after a max just over an hour ago of 19.8C.

Thats quite a temperature gradient, almost 10C difference between here and Leeds, a mere 65 miles.

[Village]

Cloud, cloud and more cloud down here in the south. Its grim down south.

[Stargazer]

Still grim in this part of the south too - cloudy and breezy with occasional drizzle in the morning, a spell of heavier rain this afternoon has just stopped. Currently overcast and dry, 15.5 deg C, wind fresh SW. Today's maximum 16.6, last night's minimum 13.9.

At a more local scale than that at 3pm Bingley reported 16.7c compared to 10.8c in Bradford and 9c at Leeds/Bradford airport which are 5 and 7 miles away respectively. Some interesting interactions adjacent to the frontal boundary.

[Thundery wintry showers]

Dull and wet all day in Cleadon, mostly drizzly stuff early and late, some heavier rain around midday. Maximum temperature so far is 8.5C.

[reef]

It actually turned out to be suprisingly warm with a max temp of 20.6C, making it the warmest day of the year so far.

After early sunshine it was mostly cloudy with a light rain shower this afternoon. It was rather windy however with a gust of 29mph just after noon.

Max Temp: 20.6C

Min Temp: 10.1C

Mean Wind: SSW 14mph

High Gust: 29mph

Rainfall: 6.2mm

Currently 18.1C and 84% humidity.

[Richard2901]

Yet another disgustingly cold, dull, wet and horrible day. Drizzly rain on and off the whole day, north easterly winds and a max of 7.8C.

Rain total only 3.6mm so far. There has not been one daily rain total worthy of note since this relentless unsettled spell began 6 weeks ago just day after day of leaden skies and light rain/showers.

Current outdoor temp just 5.7C while indoor temperature was just 14.9C when I got home
