South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/01/2020 Onward

[Andy Bown]

So we had 1mm of rain last night, the first measurable rain for 3 weeks! 
 

Interesting to note that the Net Weather charts bring a shower risk late tomorrow as well as on Wednesday and Thursday. The fax charts show a warm front moving north late tomorrow then occluding/stalling over the country.

Perhaps not such a straightforward few days to come then.

[CheesepuffScott]

Been much cloudier, and feeling a little fresher today but warm in the sunny spells today.

I also notice all my  have gone to  for the next few days, ooch.

8.6°C now after a high of 17.4°C...

Morning All, after an overnight low of 1.9°C at: 06:03 the sun is powering up and we are already at 7.1°C. Noticeably the wind direction has changed now into the NE, whilst pressure still increases now at 1029.4 mb and RH81%..

[MP-R]

Very pleasant out but a lot of high cloud around. I was looking forward to a sunny day...

[Southern Storm]

Just noticed this lovely sun halo while sitting out in the sun, very nice, temperature is around 14 with a very light breeze, a perfect spring day!

Just noticed that too in South Wilts.

[Andy Bown]

It is a stunning halo! 18.4c in Warminster.

[CheesepuffScott]

I only just noticed!

Forecasts are an absolute laughing stock. It's piddling down with rain here. BBC: Dry and sunny all week.

I often slate forecasts myself but to be fair yesterday’s national and local forecasts showed showers moving up from the South late afternoon plus fax charts had a warm front arriving at the same time.

[Lyn-M]

No precipitation reaching the ground here....yet.

Sunny this morning but it turned hazy early this afternoon before clouding over completely. No rain here though. Reached 15.7°C, currently 13.1°C

Crikey I wasn’t expecting this! Hardly any cloud left and it’s 21.4c and dare I say it feels quite muggy.

[Dorsetbred]

Crackin afternoon in the sun, currently 20.6°C (69.0°F) will it touch 70°F...lets wait and see..

Cloudy all morning but started to break up at midday and has been largely sunny and warm since 2.

Temperature also responded since and has now surpassed Sunday’s high. Not even a third into April and 20C twice.
