[Dorsetbred]

A tasty few showers cruised through late yesterday afternoon, a most seasonal affair.

Noticeable, that the wind is now in from the north, a little cooler, and some windscreen scraping needed. Currently:

Temp 2.8°C

DP 0.9°C 

RH 87%

1010.6 mb Rising slowly

Wind Calm

Rainfall 0.5 mm

[knocker]

Pleasant morning with some small Cu. Temp 7C and a light northerly.

[Andy Bown]

Temp still dropping here at -0.3c, was -0.1c 15 mins ago. Crystal clear too.

[MP-R]

Gorgeous day to finish the month.

[Andy Bown]

Genuinely perfect Spring day and the first day for ages with proper clean convection (last Sunday had far messier skies) although no more than a few scattered light or sharp showers resulting.

Kind of wishing it was at least a month later with the synoptics of offer this weekend into early next week with warm air, LOW pressure and at least one warm front heading North.

[knocker]

Fairly clear first thing but now layer of As with some Ac and St. Temp 8C and wind SSW 14mph.

[knocker]

I suspect the front(s) nudged a little further SE than expected as we have continuous moderate rain from Ns and Sc and St. Temp 9C with the wind southerly 15mph.

[knocker]

Well I have to say the position of the front has seriously compromised the forecast for this area as we still have moderate rain and it's quite blustery. Not good.

[knocker]

Finally stopped raining but still layered medium stuff with Sc. Not a great day.

[MP-R]

Well how the day has changed since 7am! I woke up earlier than normal and it was still lightly raining, by 10am it was cloudy but dry, and since midday the sun has been out with diminishing cloud. Since 2pm it's been clear save for the frontal cloud to the far west. Gorgeous afternoon and have reached the dizzy heights of 14.6C, making it the warmest day of the year so far. I didn't expect it to be this sunny tbh.

[Mapantz]

What a beaut of a day it was today?! A touch breezy, but it was the longest the pure blue skies had hung around for a while. Top temp of 14.6°C with 10.1hrs of sunshine.

Currently cloudy with a few spots of rain in the air. Temp: 8.1°C - Hum:  88% - Dew: 6.2°C - Bar: 1006.84hPa - Wind:  SSE @ 2mph

Shower watch tomorrow! The Euro 4 prefers them further west to the NetWx 4km model, so a bit of radar watching I expect?!

 

 

[knocker]

Cloudy with Ac, Sc and Cu. I think some rain shortly. Temp 9C and wind SSE 15mph..

Yes, and so does the BBC! Again, I'm not sure how much lightning there will be associated with these but it's possible.

A brief spell of moderate rain currently.

[Andy Bown]

Fascinating driving home from the Bristol area early yesterday evening ; crystal blue sky overhead and stretching in a wide band roughly SW - NE, frontal cloud to the NW and SE from the 2 frontal systems.

My weather station's sensor is knackered, got a new station on order.

Fine morning with hazy sunshine and all manner of mid-high level cloud types.

[ARTDEMOLE]

Cloudy with hazy sunshine. but the sun does break through at time. 11.6c. Humidity 68%rh. Rain this afternoon... 

[knocker]

Sunny with some small Cu now.

[William Grimsley]

[knocker]

Cloudy with some large Cu and fairly frequent showers. Temp 9C and an easterly zephyr.
