No thunder today (pleased about that after NYE’s local fireworks reduced my dear dog to a quivering shaking state of anxiety all evening after the tea time lot started and carried on and off until midnight and beyond) but the sky went black and we had some lively rainfall at a rate of 25.2.  After all the drama of trees thrashing about and conservatory sounding as though we were going through a carwash, only had a recorded 5.4mm of rain between 2:30 - 3:30pm. 
Sky looked nice to the west though once the rain stopped.

Today’s highlight was that at 4:40pm there was still some light in the sky (2nd photo) yay the days are getting longer

Yesterday was my first time being properly active for half a month because I was running everywhere trying to beat the Sunset and get new batteries for my Camera because they had run out.

Today has been rather grey so far but at least it feels light.

The further inland the better in my view, I don't think I'll see any but there's is at least a slight chance

Another GFS run showing snow over NW Kent and other places further west. Leading us up the garden path again? We rarely get anything from the North or West here even Central London fares better like late Jan last year proved. But who knows -6c uppers marginal...

Here's my completed 2021 storm season video with a couple pictures provided by Zak M, 13 minutes long with my favourite part the last minute or so where I put all the time lapses and images put together in quick time.

This drizzle can do one. Any upto date news on how far south this cold will push?

All the way temporarily but as is  the way here, just fit the last piece of puzzle in and some one whips the first bit out again,precipitation .

NW winds never really do much here with showers and turn our backs for a second and warmer air there ready and  waiting in the wings

[Atmogenic]

please just let us have some lovely sunny weather, this morning and still is very nice but looking at the radar it looks to become another crappy day on the way 

[Tn9]

Looking across towards Sevenoaks you can see dark skies encroaching. .

[Freeze]

Still 9c here, northerly hasn't kicked in yet.

[Blazerblue]

Rain and drizzle pretty much from sunrise this morning, temps slowly dropping, started at 8c first thing, now down to 5c.

[Hotspur62]

There was a bit of sleet here in Upper Norwood earlier but other than that it's just been cold rain.
