South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 08 Feb 2021 Onward

[Ashme]

Can I mention snow chances on the big day to the fam yet? Asking for a friend

[khodds]

There’s no way I’m getting sucked in yet. Been far too many disappointments over the years

[matt111]

Sunny for a change today and it felt a bit cooler than recent days. Reached 9.7°C, currently 7.4°C

[knocker]

A light breeze, a fair amount of Stratus and quite mild

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, after a clear sky last night, it went overcast, and now we have  a misty start to the day, so of course the humidity has climbed back up to 96%, whilst the temperature has wobbled through the night to the current overnight low of 5.6°C at: 07:45..

The Penlee lifeboat disaster occurred forty years ago today. I remember that horrific day well

[Mapantz]

Overcast again. 7.2°C.

The Christmas period looks quite crap. I would have settled for cold & dry, but it could be wet & windy for many of us. Still a lot to be resolved yet, though.

[Andy Bown]

Rather a surprising day, foggy throughout and the temperature has gradually dropped from 4.9c at breakfast time to 3.7c approaching 16.00 .

[noggin]

I must confess that I am being drawn into the "will it/won't it snow at Christmas" thing! My heart wants it to snow, but my head doesn't! Very foggy all day here.

[Dorsetbred]

A pleasant day out in the garden, Ok so the mist took a while to clear, and has to be said it really didn't lift that much, certainly nothing blue today, even so working up a sweat was easily possible in these conditions, peaking at 5.7°C...and has been hovering around 5.5°C for most of the afternoon..

Evening All,

 

Foggy all day just various amounts of visibility, although gain any height and it was sunny.

 

 

[kevvo]

A cool overcast day today. Around 7c. 

Been in the model thread and absorbing it as I do, year after year, I expect no more than rain or sleet from any precipitation over Christmas. That said, I hope for the best and expect what we normally get. Wet stuff

 

 

[matt111]

Back to cloudy all day again today, also a bit misty at times. Reached 7.4°C, currently 3.9°C

[knocker]

Layer of Sc and feeling a bit nippy in the keen easterly wind, albeit it has eased in the last couple of hours

[Dave Kightley]

Need some action in this place in the form of snow

[Dave Kightley]

look at the 1961-1990 average there used to be a time when we got the same amount of snow as others... last 10 years that’s complete not true... endless warm sectors, not the right place... last winter a few flakes here pathetic

Overcast again today. Feels like we've been stuck at 7°C for weeks!

@Dorsetbred Have you installed your soil moisture sensor yet?

[knocker]

Plenty of Stratus scooting across in the stiff south easterly wind, giusting 30mph. So feeling a tad chilly

Was posted to me yesterday, so something for me to do over the Christmas break..

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, welcome to High pressure Gloomland, even if it rained that would at least clear through, but this high seems to have dropped anchor!

Meanwhile, a cool night, with a low of 4.7°C at: 07:41, which is where it's at right now, RH82% and a gusting 10mph light breeze in from the East..

Some funny yellow bits in the sky, but in the main...GREY

[Dorsetbred]

Whilst you couldn't make this up, it's classic..

The snow dome has been activated over Dorset, even Netweather are able to see it in place! December 27th ...JFF

I've decided to do a little renovation work on my station's setup. I'm waiting on a delivery of some PVC pipe so I can run my temp probes through it and tidy all the cabling up. Estimated delivery time: 4 - 5pm. It'll be dark!
