The forecast is showing rain up to 6pm. Not a single raindrop was showing last night.

[Bristawl Si]

This is the first sentence of Jo's weather update, posted this morning at 09.20 here on NW:

So miserable conditions this morning over Hampshire, Devon and Dorset with surface water flooding. The rain will clear from SW Britain this morning as the strong cold winds pick up. 

Erm, ......it rained steadily, sometimes moderately here from 7 until 11. Just a mile north of Bristol north boundary. Finished raining 30 mins ago.

[Dorsetbred]

From the local rag...

A last minute weather warning for heavy rain has been issued for Dorset today.

The Met Office warning was issued at around 8.30am this morning and says flooding and travel disruption is possible. 

The yellow weather alert is valid from 10am until 6pm this evening and covers Bournemouth, Poole and the rest of the county.

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Rain will become persistent, with some heavy bursts at times. 10 to 20 mm rain is likely to fall widely, with up to 30 mm in a few places.

Given saturated ground, this may lead to some localised flooding.

“The rain will slowly clear from the west later this afternoon and early evening.”

There are currently no warnings in force for the next few days.

Cold and wet all day so far with heavy rain.  A bit brighter now but still raining a bit. 5.9°C

[CheesepuffScott]

It's been horrible, and cold all day with persistent rain, although it has cleared away now.

A max of just 4.8°C which is the coldest Tmax this year...

[Dorsetbred]

As Matt noted we reached the dizzy heights of 6.0°C at: 14:50, after watching the temperature fall this morning, it clawed its way back above the 5C mark here. Looking like more rain for the weekend...

[matt111]

Considering we weren't expecting that much rain today it ended up almost the wettest day of the year so far after the heavy rain earlier. 18.0mm in total.

Yes, it was absolutely horrible today!

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a frosty ice scraping session this morning with the overnight low of  -0.9°C at: 06:29 and a bright clear start..

Rain looks to be diving NW to SE and is about 30 miles to our west, noticing the cloud build up it may not be long before we have it raining here..

[CheesepuffScott]

Morning all, a cold, frosty start following an overnight low of -1.1°C.. 

[Lyn-M]

Pink sky, ground frost at 06.30, all gone now and the cloud cover Dorsetbred mentions is over us but, as yet, nothing is reaching the ground from it. 

Rainfall yesterday from 09.00 was 5.5mm taking total for the system to 18mm.

[MP-R]

A light frost to start and mostly cloudy. The first air frost since the same week in February.

[Dean E]

Unexpected rainfall yesterday here turned into a very wet day for my location with 24.0mm falling in total. Local rivers have already been in flood stage since mid February and this has not helped things here.

First ground frost of the Spring followed last night though, with a low of -0.6°C.

Currently 8.4°C with Sunny skies. Very very welcomed! 

[jtay]

The village churchyard is currently under water.

A cracking day today though. Shame it won't last. Again.

[Dorsetbred]

FINALLY, some noticeable sunshine and UV figures beginning to increase, roll on Summer...noticeable drop in the humidity levels...All well and good until the weekend rainfall puts it all back again...

[matt111]

Dropped to -0.4°C here last night which was the first air frost since January. Mostly sunny so far although it’s clouding over at the moment. 8.8°C

[CheesepuffScott]

Cracking.. sunny skies this morning and afternoon but cloud has been increasing over the past few hours.. up to 10.4°C earlier, it is currently 8.7°C

[Dorsetbred]

The current cloud has ruined what has been a pleasant day, warm, in fact up to 12.2°C at: 14:11 in the Spring sunshine..
 

[Andy Bown]

It seems to have been a very long week of weather but ultimately it’s ended 3-2 in favour of lovely days. 

[Rich_Clements]

A lovely day, quite warm if out in the sunshine. Looking forward to a bit of dry warmth now to be honest.

[matt111]

A decent day with long sunny spells and it felt pleasant in the sun. Reached 10.1°C, currently 5.7°C

[lettice]

What a cracking day yesterday, sunny spells all day. Felt a lot warmer than the 10.5c it got to mid afternoon.
Was pleasant after that showery day Thursday.

A low of 3.4c at 2am.
Grey this morning, but dry, 7.3c, 1018.1 hPa. light SW wind.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, an overcast but dry start after an overnight low of 1.6°C at: 02:38, now 5.4°C..

Edited March 7, 2020 by Dorsetbred

[CheesepuffScott]

A low of 1.0°C at: 03:25...

Hazy sunshine now after being rather grey earlier, doesn’t feel too bad out of the breeze. 10.3°C
