So it looks like we'll see more of the sun next week, relative to how much we've seen it lately anyway, in between the rain bands and showers although the one bonus will be milder temps.

Dunno if I'm looking forward to next week's weather or not, yes it may be cloudy, dull and cold out there at the moment but at least it's dry with no flooding issues.

7°C today but it's still dull and crap.

I have a funny feeling that March is going to crap as well, signs pointing to it being cold & wet. I think the bodes well for later on though, and perhaps Summer.

I do believe in the thought that if you get rid of the rubbish now then it will be better later on. If you're locked in to certain patterns then they eventually have to change, the signs look good to me for a half decent Summer.

It's only speculation of course.. :)

I was out working between 07.00 - midday and there was a surprising amount of that time which had drizzle, light rain and even sharp showers falling as the Cold Front moved across. I'd say that out of those 5 hours there were 3 and a half which had rain falling, considerably more than the often used phrase in forecasts this week ; "the odd spot of drizzle" !

Australia has just seen its hottest summer on record, it usually follows that what they get in Oz & New Zealand (crap summer, cold winter) we often get similar here, so here's hoping that we get a decent summer in the UK this year drinks.gif

Dull & grey again here today though high of 8C earlier after a low of 4C.

Have you any info, stats or links to back that up?

Being honest does Australia ever have a 'crap summer' ? Parts of it may do as it's such a huge country but most parts have good weather every summer, so therefore any good summer we have will follow a good one there!

Should start getting progressively milder now with some sunshine tomorrow and Monday before the return of the rains Tuesday onwards.

Am hoping there will be some early spring convection come the end of next week.

Yeah, that was Jemma Cooper last night. We have had a below average month in terms of rainfall and now we need rain!

I would hazard a guess some of our Somerset and Devon residents would have a different opinion on that.

A dry March and we will be back in drought conditions no doubt! :p
