A very mild wet and windy day after a pretty cold start.

Its awful.

A glimmer of hope getting closer to Christmas but 10 days away is along way off.

Sounds familiar. Remember hearing that a lot during the monstrosity that was "winter" 2013/14. Anytime there was a glimmer of hope that things were going to change for the better, it was always 10 days away.

A ground frost this morning with a low of -0.2c, Currently patchy cloud with some spit and spots of rain. Temp 1.3c. 18mm rain yesterday.

[Terminal Moraine]

Just 6.3 hrs of sunshine so far this month and none likely today.

27.0 mm of rain yesterday made it the second wettest day of the year so far and only the second day this year  with more than 25.4 mm ( 1" ) of rain ; the wettest day was March 30th with 28.9 mm.

Got awfully confused when I tried to sign on and I saw the new format. Took me ages to find this forum.

I think December here hasn't been too bad so far. Yes a few dull wet days but actually an OK amount of sunshine here at least. No sign of winter yet. In fact the next week could see 14-16c reached so we won't be a million miles off the canaries!

Thick Fog here with very low vis, Temp 4.1c with little wind at all.

[Dancerwithwings]

What a bore the start of winter is so far simply this is not what i expect for winter! 13c - 14c during this forthcoming Wednesday night

This temp map is a sight for sore eyes.......For Coldies that is

[I remember Atlantic 252]

Not been bad today though, virtually fully dry during daylight hours, tomorrow though not as good wet pm, wed to Fri also do not look like rain all day so that's a bonus, Thats Tues night chart, but as you say Wed night also looks warm

Well spotted earlier hours weds morning then! and yes the word is 'mild, mild and more mild'......

Night time temps are pretty much the same as day time temps and even them are well above for this time of the year....Oh well! no heating on

Thick Fog here this morning with very low vis again, Temp 7c

 

[Terminal Moraine]

Thick fog for the last 26 hours here, visibility was only 40 mts at 1800 when I went out to take the readings.

Very mild though with the temperature currently at 9.2c.

[I remember Atlantic 252]

only 11.6C wtf? suppose a normal temp for the christmas pudding, still feel it won't get much above 13C today, maybe 15C tomorrow, and 16C Sat

[Polar Maritime]

12.2 c here, Say no more..

Edited December 16, 2015 by Polar Maritime

[Snowyowl9]

Got a touch cooler but peaked at 11.6c in the night now 10.6c

A December warmer that 1988 never but looks like it.

we'll have to pay for this decent weather though, just feel shocker April/May on the way, slow start to summer as well

[Polar Maritime]

Clear blue skys and dry here.. 8c 

[Walsall Wood Snow]

Just had a little bit of hail here with rain. It may not be snow but nice to see some icey precipitation close to Christmas rather than the liquid only variety.

[Gord]

I actually took a bit of notice of the weather yesterday with the amazing cloudscapes that came through.

 

It was like the weather reminding us that it is still there!

 

Back to normal today though. No end in sight within a sensible time range as well. Really fed up of it now after the last 2 years but hey ho..what can we do about it eh?

[Polar Maritime]

After a dry clear and cool start showers have developed rattling through on a blustery W/S/W wind. Temp 6.8c

[Summer of 95]

Actually had a mostly clear night, yet it didn't drop below 6C just 24 hours before the winter solstice. It regularly dropped below that in June. And 10 minutes before sunrise it clouded over and is now belting down.

What is wrong with this month?

[Terminal Moraine]

An almost cloudless start to the day here after a few overnight showers.

It could hardly be classed as  cold though with a current temp' of 4.1c.
