Absolutely baltic in this wind again. Blue sky earlier.

I'm on a hill, not at home. Apparently the cats are sunbathing there.

Morning all! Yesterday.... gorgeous clear blue skies and pleasant temp at around 9.4c. Today, dreich, miserable pish,  temp 7.9c. My central heating is playing up and my telephone landline isn't working. Message to SSE re phone, contacted builder friend re central heating. So what's going to go wrong next? These things come in threes apparently!

Spring is not starting off that auspiciously as each day the weather is getting worse.

Horrible day of soggy Aberdeenshire Permagloom™; persistent drizzle saturating surfaces, not a nice day to be working outside.

Currently 6c with light to occasionally moderate SE winds.

Cracking pics in this thread last few days.

Tuesday was fantastic but last couple have been wet and gloomy down here. Ground pretty saturated, I hope this easterly materialises to deliver us some snow before we see a much quicker warm up that last spring.

If nothing else it would save us some money after April arrives!

Oddly, after a wet start, it's not a bad day over this side of the hill. Gentle breeze, occasional brightness and everything drying up nicely. Always find it interesting how the weather can change over quite small distances. 

Working slowly through the ludicrous amounts of firewood I have to split - got at least 5 years supply from the storms!

Dull and cold again, all day, with some determined drizzle in the morning, but the sky is finally clearing from the west so it should be a brighter day tomorrow. Nice enough today though to get out for lunch for the first time in a long time. Walked there and back too. Just.

Overnight temperature around 6.4⁰C rose to a high of 8.3⁰C at 13:38 and has now fallen to a low for the day of 4.6⁰C, humidity is 90%, wind has dropped to nothing from a maximum gust of 14mph northwesterly at 04:18, pressure is 1017.0hPa rising slowly, 2.2mm of rain fell today, cloud cover is 7/8 and the dew point is at 3⁰C.

Did anyone else get an interesting sunset? Just seemed to have different colours shifting and fading for a long time while I was at the kitchen window trying not to think about stuff.

Yes interesting sunset as I returned in tractor from delivering some hay colours were very vivid ranging from blue to orange /red. Been dry here today but dull and the wind has been very variable from almost calm to gale force gusts.The last few dry/sunny days has helped get jobs done outside and clear your mind.

[Glaswegianblizzard]

Same down here. A very nice sunset with the colour bouncing off the underside of the clouds.

[Kayemill]

Was nice down here as well.

[Quinach]

Horrid day.  Cold (currently 3.5c) with persistent light to moderate rain.  Light winds the only saving grace.

Thankfully the weekend looks to be a big improvement.

[mardatha]

Same as yesterday here - really raw cold damp - nice to be inside knittng and eating cake.

[Sunshineandshowers84]

Been a nice morning and some fair weather cloud bubbling up past few hours. Out of nowhere cloud has built up fast and just had a heavy shower. Was expecting a nice afternoon too.

I was surprised with the showers too, easy to see how elevated they were

Cake. Yes please. I'm still eating Xmas cake, no-one else here eats it so I'm slowly chewing away at it...

Oh. Weather. Not bad really, quite a good day for early March.

After a dull start a nice day here in afternoon cool at 6c with light wintry looking showers dotted around the Firth although skies mostly blue. Countryside looking very brown as it always does in March

 Daffodils slowly peeping through the ground.

 

[Halfamilefromnowhere]

Cracking day here although icy keen wind, long clear views of the snow capped higher hills and this afternoon several snow showers rolling over the tops.

[Cheggers]

Been a nice few days here and there. Had a cracking day in Edinburgh, and again today, but now bitterly cold after a high of 10c

[Mair Snaw]

Strong sunshine breaking through the manure here!

[101_North]

What a morning! -2c and frosty early doors and now blue sky and sunshine! Superb! 

[Cheggers]

Frosty morning turned into another good day in the sun. Currently 10c

0c start with very white frost . Sunny calm  morning during which after feeding cattle I helped Mrs Northernlights to empty some pots to replant new lavender. Not a good job for the back but at least sun was warm. A bit cloudier in the afternoon but evening clear with a slight aurora to the north at 3c currently. All in all a very useable spring day with superb visibilities in the morning.

[Norrance]

Glorious day here though some cloud built up later. A frosty start at -1.1C with blue skies all morning and the temperature then rising to 9.1C in the early afternoon.
