Good update from Ian F.

Always nice to hear from fergie, especially with potentially good news. 

[matt111]

No sun here at the moment although it’s definitely brighter than yesterday and it feels quite pleasant put there, not sure whether that’s really a good thing or not considering it’s only late January.

The big question is will it pay off this year?

Why thank you sir. My brain churns out so much guff when I'm supposed to be cleaning the house, got to be sparkling for estate agents valuation.

After the early morning rain it turned out not a bad day. Stratus back now

[matt111]

Just been for a walk along the beach. Started off with the sun coming out and ended with drizzle and wasn’t that pleasant there with the breeze coming off the sea. 

[karlos1983]

Just had quite possibly the best roast dinner ever! 

Highly recommend the Bakers Arms just off the A35 near Poole if anyone ever passes on a Sunday. Wowzers!

Think I will try that Karlos haven't been there for a few years. Is it a carvery.

No, table service. So you’ll pay a bit more, but it’s well worth it. ?

very generous portions as well

Best day weather wise for a while, mild rather damp start but the sun came out and it was rather pleasant out of the wind.

I used to drink there when it was a small house affair, nothing like it is today, have left there a few times a little worse for wear..

[Dorsetbred]

Almost knocking on the door of 13C today, you gotta love January these days, it can really deliver the goods (mild and good rainfall)...12.8C peak and rain this afternoon..

[Polar Bear]

Who else is getting a few gusts? Every now and then.. breeze picks up ..

That's handy to know, the in-laws live in Poole and we often struggle to think where to take them, end up doing the round of the usual places.

its only failed once so far... I have missed all the big snowfalls in west country in last 10 years. 

Came home to see laying snow couple times but never seen it fall in 09/10

The ECM really needs to pull it out the bag this morning or certain members of the mad thread might need the samaritans hotline number! Why they no listen!  much flip flopping to come this week! For flux sake  

[knocker]

Cloudy with Sc, St. Temp 10C and quite breezy from the WSW

[Evening thunder]

Well it was the 3rd almost completely dull sunless weekend in a row 

Reached 13.4C yesterday after an overnight low of 10.5C, and last night it dropped to 9.9C. January is now 1.2C above average and has a mean maxima so far of 10.0C.

I'd like an easterly but also a crisp sunny/frosty high will do nicely too, along with the lengthening days at last.
