South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 01/09/2020 Onward

[MP-R]

Fingers crossed! Having briefly got up to 4C here, it's now raining and down to 3.6C. 'Just keep going... just keep going'

[fromey]

Temps shooting up, at this rate it will be warm rain

[SteveB]

Raining now and 5.5c, think it's not going to change for me. Further inland, and some elevation should be good. 

[offerman]

It's between 3-4c here . Spitting with sleet I think 

[AWD]

Heavy, cold rain in Longwell Green now.

Oh well, into the next pointless chase it is.

always the same for us in the south west 

[Rich_Clements]

Cold rain here as well, but with no elevation I expected that

[Leon1]

Cold rain here but actually looks like it's getting heavier on the radar as it goes south?

I'm still an optimist that we could get a few flakes in the middle or backend of this . 

[AWD]

Temp now down to 3.5c & dew point down to +2c.

To be fair though, we are mighty desperate to be chasing some very back edge wet flakes.

Roll on Spring & storm season.  They've been better in recent years.

[Somerset Squall]

We are up at a balmy 6.0°C here with a dewpoint of 3°C. What cold spell? We haven't even recorded a frost here over the Christmas period, been too much precipitation around, and it's all been rain.

[Leon1]

Temperature finally dropping now. 3.4c 

[Wiltshireweatherwatcher]

2.5c here and rain. I’ve seen heavy snow fall with the temp at 4c before but not when it’s clear there’s something warmer up above. Clearly not something affecting the Midlands northwards. Two days, two lots of snow.

What's your dew point?  Freezing level (WBFL) probably not low enough either.

It’s just starting to change now, on my car windscreen some ice in with the raindrops 

[MP-R]

I think I would’ve preferred a continuation of this morning’s sunshine.

[Mapantz]

Dew points do look poor..

 

Here's a snapshot of tomorrow's snow event..

[MidnightSnow]

March 2018 and February 2019 give me hope that it's still possible to see a lot of snow down here. Maybe it's preference and from an IMBY perspective but those months I just mentioned were better than 2010.... which always gets talked about as the holy grail.

[Andy Bown]

Glorious sleet from yellow colouring on the Net Weather radar. Bet it’s snowing a few miles away up on the Plain which is under the orange.

[Jayfromcardiff]

What a let down this week has been. Can't see anything happening tomorrow.

Apologies, I don’t have a weather station giving a dew point.

I’d better go wax the sledge then. I don’t want to call tomorrow’s event a bust but it’s sure looking that way. Hope I’m wrong.

[FBR]

Can confirm that the band that passed over Gloucester produced some enormous flakes for about 15 mins. Nice to see

Thanks mate I also looked at your link and set a shortcut to that on my home screen . 
What station  do you use for this ?
