Wow, double figures, that's a first for a while, maxxing @ 10.2°C at: 14:23.

[Dorsetbred]

From earlier today:

More from Ian F.

"Just to explain: The wording of the UKMO forecast is a nod towards latest GloSea, which (after the mid-late Dec shenanigans and slight bias towards blocking) then leans marginally in favour of zonality into early part of Jan."

[khodds]

But zonal isn't what we want either is it Dorsetbred?

Maybe not, but my unscientific "gut feeling" still sticks with zonality, even after last week.

Hope not. But we will see what happens

First time it's reached 10C here since November 16th. Very different feel to the air this afternoon despite the day itself looking exactly the same as yesterday.

Let's get this tropical blip out the way and it looks like the weekend might not be so bad after all.

This autumn/winter is threatening to turn into a right c... up in terms of long range forecasts... 

I cant see wintry weather currently in forecasts for December... then a bias to zonal Jan now we could see a 5th year without a winter..

Positively tropical feeling out there today . Like December 2015 repeated. Yuck!! When does it start to cool down again?

[Rich_Clements]

what a difference 24 hours makes... very mild feeling after a good 10 days of cold.

Very warm spring day today, even the flies are in my cat's food. Went out in a shirt and felt fine.

You doing well in your exotic zone, it's only 11.8°C over here on the heath..

[MP-R]

A positively tropical 12C this afternoon. With lights winds and milky sunshine it feels like one of those first warm days in March.

[matt111]

Slightly brighter than yesterday which isn't saying much considering how dull it was. Feeling mild with a high of 11.8°C. Current temp 11.2°C. 

[Dorsetbred]

Gee, looking at today's temperatures we are clearly way of the mark today, with a peak of 17C, not a record breaker down here I feel.

[festivalking]

This time last week I was out walking the dog dressed like an Eskimo. Tonight I was out with just a t-shirt....and trousers etc. Point being the turn around in Temps is mad brilliant and very British. Hoping though for more Eskimo weather soon...

[MP-R]

Wondering whether to go to North Turkey for a snow fix... 

Mild and mushy out there. It's amazing how wet everything is given we haven't had any rain.

I was thinking this earlier, everything seems to be wet for the last 3 or 4 days but it hasn't rained?! Is that literally due to moisture in the air??

[Dorsetbred]

Mornin' all, currently:

11.2°C

Lot of moisture in the air again..

far too hot last night! It was almost like summer - I woke up at 4.30 and had to sleep without the duvet. Interesting posts in the MOD thread this morning.. models have flipped overnight again with talks of an exploding vortex. I can't keep up!! 

[knocker]

Grey morning with low St and thin fog. Temp 13C and quite breezy from the SSW gusting 30mph
