Second!

[Evening thunder]

Blimey, I was up there yesterday

You could see it from here apparently but I was out at the time.

Another fine morning here with a fair bit of thin Ci. Temp 6C and no wind.

[Mapantz]

It did manage to get to 16.1°C in the sunshine earlier, but it has since clouded over.

Temp: 15.1°C - Hum: 62% - Dew: 7.9°C - Bar: 1016.36hPa - Wind: WSW ~ WNW @ 7mph.

[matt111]

Got up to 16.3°C earlier but now with more cloud it's dropped. Currently 13.6°C. 

[knocker]

A veil of Cs has recently encroached, I assume the result of the front edging closer, with some fairly impressive Cu below  Temp did make 14C and it's been a pleasant day.

[lettice]

15.3c midday and now 13.4c
W to WSW wind for most of the day and 8mph, 1013.4 hPa and falling.

Forecasts now saying it may hit 4c tonight, hope not. Gardener's getting nervous if its any lower than that.
What Id love is some rain and that seems to have gone on the next few days forecasts now.

[Andy Bown]

Mother Nature sure has a sense of humour. Exactly 12 months on from a rapid cool down with cold sunny mornings and active wintry showery afternoons a repeat performance looks likely tomorrow and Wednesday!

If last year is anything to go by we will see temperatures drop from about 14c to 3c in a matter of minutes during showers. I just hope we get the brilliant settling soft hail and snow again as well as spectacular CBs.

In the meantime another very weak front hasn't given measurable rainfall, although there were a few short sharp showers.

[Mapantz]

Spot where the cold front appeared..

 

Not a drop of rain though.

[knocker]

A pleasant if somewhat fresher morning with some medium Cu around. Temp 6C and a fresh northerly

[lettice]

Temp did drop here, No frost and no rain fell here.

From 15c at 6pm, it fell to 10c at 9pm, 8c at midnight, 3c at 4am and 2c at 5.30am
Now 6.2c, NW wind 6-8 mph, 1014.5 hPa
Lovely clear sunny blue skies now.

 

[MP-R]

Very harmless skies so far today and actually not feeling that bad out despite it only just being 10C.

[matt111]

Feels colder in the wind but when sheltered in the sun it feels pleasant. No showers yet. 10.4°C. 

[MP-R]

Total change in the last hour. Heard thunder to the west so headed out to take these pics.

[Mapantz]

Very nice here. It's not feeling that cold to be honest.

Temp: 11.3°C - Hum: 35% - Dew: -3.7°C - Bar: 1014.80hPa - Wind: NNW ~ NNE @ 9mph.

[knocker]

Not too bad here apart from the wind. Variable amounts of medium Cu but gusting to 35mph. temp 9C

some white stuff falling out of the sky here, blimey!

[Mapantz]

I'm expecting a nice timelapse when the video gets uploaded at midnight. May get lucky with some bigger clouds if those showers make it here.

[Mark Neal.]

We have just had a Hail/Snow shower, with thunder and lightning too in Oxford. 

[lettice]

Temp has stayed around the 11c to 11.9c mark for most of the afternoon.
10.9c now, 1013.3 hPa, humidity is down to 35%

Been very sunny here and has not even felt cold, despite the 8-11mph N to NW wind.

[A.J]

another grauple/snow hammering has just passed through, leaving a covering

[SilverWolf]

Had some great, big soft hail showers in Stroud, some big snow flakes mixed in, and thunder too! Warm in the sun, but what a temperature drop in the showers. Shame they'll probably fizzle out when we lose the sun. Still, not bad for the end of April.

Nothing but sunshine all day here 

Missed every shower.

[matt111]

Just had a short shower a few minutes ago.  Nothing measurable although a sudden wind gust made it look like it was snowing as a load of blossom blew off the trees outside.
