I wouldn't worry too much just yet. The MetO 3 month contingency for winter said winter would be mild but unexceptional. Didn't pick up on December craziness, said that the second half of winter would be colder, yet we're into the second half now and places are still recording daily temp records. 

The 2nd half has been colder so far, even though it has turned milder again since Friday the first week of the 2nd half was considerably colder.

Interesting rain shadow effect from Burnham On Sea towards Glastonbury is very evident on the Net Weather rainfall accumulation for the last 6 hours.

It is minging out there. 

Doesn't feel anything like 11.4C

 

[knocker]

Had to go out again at 1500 so got soaked for a second time today as it's still moderate rain.

[Frosty hollows]

Official title for weather here...minging. Just walkes best part of a mile due south straight into the wind and rain!! Ugh.

T 9.3C

1006mB and falling

Wind speed 23 mph gusting into low 40s.

I have to go out on the return journey later. I expect I'll get there twice as fast as I got here

It's bleeding horrible out there, tomorrow forecast to be just as vile?

Yes. Possibly a 'drier' hour or 2 first thing but squally wind and showery rain for much of the day. Thursday looks beautiful, frosty/icy start and a sunny day.

[Dorsetbred]

It's a sh!te n!te that's for sure....

[Mapantz]

15.5mm so far here. I've been out and about in it, been enjoying it- you know me!

[knocker]

16.0 mm here

[Dorsetbred]

20.2mm rain here and still raining. At this rate I'll meet the 25mm in hours.

[Evening thunder]

1.8mm here. Typical rain shadow..

Thank you.

Role on Thursday.

[Frosty hollows]

Firmly in the midst of it all with 10.7 mm.

Tomorrow looking rubbish too

 

Roll on spring.

[knocker]

Cloudy, mild and breezy with slight rain.Temp of 12C and wind SW 25mph gusting 40.

At the moment it's looking as if there is just the odd band of rain moving W-E and nothing much in total. Certainly not on a par with yesterday.

Ha, need a dislike button. That is ridiculous.

Hmmm..........i'll believe when I see it K.

Be prepared for an abundance of words today in the Mad discussion thread along the lines of:

"building blocks", "these charts have potential", "cold zonal", "the best this winter", "another 1947?" and other NW classics.

[Frosty hollows]

Aw...don't take their dreams away!!

A full 20C warmer than this time last week.

11.6C

1001mB falling

90%RH

Damp and breezy

Morning.

The pigeons are nesting and the blackbird boys are fighting. The frogs are auditioning for a re-mix release with Paul McCartney and the owls are staking their claim to their tree for the summer. Wildlife awakening after enduring the long, cold, record breaking, two day winter.

If it carries on like this the Springwatch team will be out in force and a crotchety Chris Packham will be grumbling his winter holiday has been cut short.

Your okay he's up in the Cairngorms at the moment.

Disgustingly mild start to the day, on a par with some mornings in early December and November. Also a bit drizzly. Haven't had as much rain as other areas with 11.4mm yesterday and only 0.6mm so far today. Looking forward to the 'cold snap' tomorrow which will simply be 'nearer but still above average' lol.
