Has anybody else ever seen a double halo around the moon?

 

We have had thickening Cirrus over the last hour and a short while ago I noticed a bright inner glowing halo, a gap and then an outer halo. Previously I have only ever seen either of those on their own.

Can't say I can recollect seeing a double round the sun.. As you say singles are quite common with Cs.

That's just the effect of the vodka and coke you have been consuming

[MP-R]

Maximum of 07.8C today, not quite springlike with a distinct chill in the air, but pretty much sunny from start to finish with only light high cloud moving in later ahead of tomorrow's inclement weather.

[knocker]

Get the middle of next week out of the way.

Yes but only when it's been cold - it's ice crystals reflecting the light. Saw it here two or three weeks ago, the second halo was huge.

Cloudy with Sc and St. Temp 8.6C, wind WSW 9mph. Min 6.7C and Tg 6C

[ARTDEMOLE]

Mainly cloudy at the moment. Did have  some broken cloud whish let a bit of sun shine through. 9.5c..Creeping up slowly.

[Frosty_wsm]

Yep, Spring is certainly in my mind too.

Want to get out in the garden, clean the car, clean the windows, all the things you do when the weather turners drier and warmer, and nights get lighter.

Certainly not interested in anything cold now, especially as it would have to be proper proper cold to get snow her in Weston.

Disagree with that, doesn't need to be proper deep cold at all, we certainly didn't have that in march '06 but still had lying snow here from a north westerly but I'm looking forward to spring now & here's hoping some of the charts showing high pressure just to s/se of the uk are on the ball.

A touch of wintriness showing on the precip charts for Monday, obviously higher ground favoured. I'm sure it won't cause any issues, but the usual high ground suspects might see a bit more sleet or snow in some showers.

I think Tuesday looking at forecast seems best chance for decent wintry showers with snow in heavy ones for low ground maybe?

Total grot here. Low St, rain and mist.

[knocker]

A touch of small Cu and Ci. Temp 8.0C, wind WNW 18mph. Min 7.0C and Tg 6C

[Nights King]

Bright and sunny start here with occasional cloud. 5c

Still looks like we might see some snow Monday and Tuesday..

[MP-R]

Bright and breezy after a blustery period in the early hours. Anyone noticed the big thunderstorm between Ireland and Wales, heading this way? I hope so!

[knocker]

A spell of squally rain this PM

10.2°C and sunny spells.

 

 

 

[Nights King]

Interesting..

 

 

[MP-R]

Gah, that stormy band looks like its losing its lightning intensity already, typical. Still, looks like a very wet mid afternoon onwards to come.

[knocker]

Well the squally showers have arrived

[legritter]

Thunder being reported from Minehead area ,gone very dark here with wind picking up ,just hoping to see a bit of the white stuff overnight perhaps if we get some intensity ,Spring as arrived .cheers .

[Dorsetbred]

Been fair crack sunny here until now, as it's increasing in cloudiness, wind is notably strengthening.

There's a squall line that seems to hav developed on the front, that strengthens & decreases. Interesting to see it's next steps,

Heavy rain and sleet here in Frome!

[ARTDEMOLE]

Same here as I was putting out the refuse.. Stung my face in the wind. 1.5Mm rain  started off about 15:15 with a few spots.. . Temperature 4.8c

[MP-R]

What a drop in temperature as that went through, 09.6C as it arrived and 05.2C after it had passed. Very heavy rain for a little while with squally winds before calming down and now there's hardly a breath of wind with blue sky in the distance.
