It's meant to use the inbuilt barometer in the iPhone 6s Plus it does seem a bit low like you say with other stations around the area :S

Ah. The inbuilt one in my phone does the same. They only ever seem to show the absolute pressure, they should give an option to allow the user to select a relative value, so you can calibrate it to your own value. It's really annoying lol

Morning all. Don't want to make you all jealous, but there seems to be a bit of blue sky desperate to make an appearance over head. Not that it's going to last...

New month - same old weather since end of October. Yawn. Next...

[Dorsetbred]

Meanwhile over in the W-m-r-c-&-b thread even knocker has given in with "Abandon hope all ye who enter here.."

Anybody entering that thread with a knife would see bloodshed..

It hasn't been too bad here, some brightness around and feeling mild, windy though.

Wind's picking up here again after a lull. No rain as yet but this groundhog day is getting tedious

A very light grey windy day yesterday, many gusts of 45mph.
The blue sky was trying hard to come out but never made it.

No rain for a few days, but just felt a few spots and the rain radar looks busy for the next few hours.
A few gusts now and again of 30mph this morning.
Dry at the moment, 9c, 1015 hPa, Westerly 17mph.

My weather station records for January;

Jan 2016 = 148.8mm, Dec 2015 = 44mm
Jan 2015 =  94.4mm, Dec 2014 = 36.3mm
Jan 2014 = 183.6mm, Dec 2013 = 162.5mm

Grey. Windy. Damp. Happy groundhog day everyone 

[MP-R]

Early light showers passed through and now brightening up, hopefully for the long-promised sunny day to come. Noticeably cooler too starting the day at 6C instead of 11C! We've at least made it to the average high for the time of year...

[Andy Bown]

It was very showery where I was working (Rode, between Trowbridge and Frome) until 10.00 with some heavy bursts mixed in, perhaps moreso than suggested on forecasts yesterday. Much better since then with sunshine and the odd blustery light shower, 8.4c and falling.

[Mapantz]

Had a light shower earlier, but lots of sunshine today, feeling chilly though.

Temp: 10.3°C - Hum: 55% - Dew: 1.7°C - Bar:  1018.85hPa - Wind:  W/WNW @ 10mph

I updated the website today. New warnings block: http://www.warehamwx.com/wx/
The main page (in my signature) is now my dashboard, the rest of the site can be accessed from there.

Fleeting spells of sunshine here today and breezy with it. Not as much rain as I feared earlier this morning, when I realised that I'd stepped out in the wrong coat.

[Frosty hollows]

I take it back about groundhog day. After a few showers it's turning out to be a lovely spring like day

[Rich_Clements]

Afternoon all, we have some lovely sunshine here at the moment, it's a shame I am stuck inside

[knocker]

Been quite sunny here today but suddenly a hail shower has popped up from nowhere.

[jethro]

Afternoon, it's been a very pleasant day here (well, at work, near Bristol). A couple of short, sharp showers at home first thing but it was positively spring like all day - sunny, dry and quite warm out of the wind. More of the same please.

[gottolovethisweather]

As per my post in the model thread.

Who is looking forward to the wintry mix tonight then? Some temporary snowflakes up on high ground methinks from front number one, who knows what will happen with front number two, come the morning too. Louise Lear on the BBC forecasts stated it would bring us nothing of concern or words to that effect. I say the sheer excitement of snow prospects concerns me more as I thought rarity of snow itself was one of those rare moments of joy which where you've usually got to the polar regions of the world to witness, or maybe the USA. Here's hoping we get some white stuff by the morning and that it only concerns those who don't actually like the magic of a wintry landscape in err. Winter, yes that;'s it, Winter.

Keeping a glance at things tonight. Perhaps a dusting by morning over our highest parts?

Beautifully sunny here today, I enjoyed my local stroll, was a bit nippy though. As for more of the same, I need some wintry weather before Ill be welcoming Spring proper in Spring itself. Sunny skies never go a miss though, I'll give you that.
