[MP-R]

Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas.

Trying to brighten up here. Might finally see some sun!

[kevvo]

Warm sunshine and washing on the line. Late December????

[Dorsetbred]

Torrential downpour here recently

[Dorsetbred]

Sullen skies ... and not huge volumes of folks around today..

[Dorsetbred]

Temperature currently 8.3°C and mist forming around the area...

Traditional Boxing Day football was Covid postponed so took advantage of a beautiful afternoon to get out for a walk with my boy.

Interesting evening locally ; thick fog on one side of Warminster, clear and starry on the other.

One of the many cumulus this afternoon that were forever changing shape and reflections in a bit of flooded field after 25mm rain in the last 48 hours.

 

[kevvo]

Damp mildish and drizzly. Probably the worst Dorset weather you could expect any time of year.

[knocker]

Earlier moderate rain has now ceased with a mixture of cloud types. Breezy

Very murky for the last few hours. Stratus, poor vis and continuous slight rain

Kill me now ...

[snowdog]

Managed to get out for a walk before it started raining again. Looking forward to some bright sunny days. If we aren't getting snow, roll on Spring.

[Gregulator]

Only good thing about this weather is its good for taking photographs, very atmospheric

 

[kevvo]

If you wish for 50 shades of grey, just hope you spent the afternoon  in Dorset

Beka, based on the MetO long range forecast, can I suggest hibernation as an alternative to a day to day existence. May, I'm sure will improve as we go through the year..

I suspect based on the MetO outlook, Spring may be our best seasonal surprise, after all the MAD talk of cold, it really feels like the models had a MAJOR Glitch and the seasonal norm for us Southerners resumes...time may tell. The MetO, don't spend millions just to get it wrong, I'm sure..

The sun came out for a while yesterday which was the first time in well over a week

Today was back to the usual cloud with rain at times. Reached 11.7°C, currently 10.6°C

[knocker]

Just some bits and bobs of cloud but very windy, gusting 45mph

[MP-R]

Wet and wild start to the day.

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, a showery start to the day, and more general rain crosses Wiltshire, but looks as though it might drop towards us in a while. Meanwhile the surf has eased back this morning

An overnight low of 8.2°C at: 08:40 has crept up to 9.4°C with the RH84% and a 15mph breeze in from the WNW
