Heavy rain through the night (torrential at times) now easing, but still with squally showers. Very overcast and dreary, some cars still with headlamps on. Feeling cold too, currently 7c but feeling colder in the wind. Definitely not a typical mid-May scene!

[Mountain Snow]

Lovely autumn day, heavy rain with a temperature of 6.4C. I did enjoy summer last Tuesday but thoughts are now turning to winter, we've already had the first snowfall of the season on the mountains.

[johnholmes]

I love that post MS, there are a number of articles on BBC News regarding the snow in various parts and a few piccs so worth going to that site.

Some very low temps currently in the North of England with my nearest met office station Bingley reporting just 4.3c at 11am.

I would love to have some double figure dewpoints for more than the odd 3-4 hours which is all my weather station has recorded in weeks and weeks, possibly months if I looked far enough back.

currently 5.8C.

Tm your is a misnomer in the current weather pattern?

Complete toss-tacular rubbish, moronically cold and wet today, I had my pants totally soaked in the rain, and they melted when I tried to dry them infront of the fire. All thanks to this retarded jetstream buggering off to the south and giving us yet another washout summer.

 

Await the pathetically dismal atrophied temperature stats, right here they are:

 

low: 2.8°C

"high": 7.8°C

rain: 24.6mm

 

Overcast all day apart from a bit of cloud break up just before sun-set (as usual)

 

Rating: 0/10, load of old cobblers.

thanks

My language is descriptive, which makes it more interesting than other people's. If the weather is unpleasant then I will describe it in such a manner.
