Here's a shiny new thread for 2022..

Happy new year to all across the region! 

----

A high of 14.4°C this morning. An incredible period of mildness.

Currently claggy and 12.7°C.

Thanks @Mapantz off we go again.

So early evening showers in the vicinity, with a high today of 13.7°C at: 10:32, somewhat below other areas hitting the 15°C mark, but then again, it has been dull, rather than patchy blue..currently 12.1°C, with the breeze whilst in from the SW, has dropped back to around 11/12mph locally, and the RH94%. Maybe tomorrow will have longer spells of blue shy, hmm just MAYBE..

Just general modérate rain as it moved through here. Kinda brightening up again now.

YAY I'm well excited! There are some whitey, bright grey clouds outside!

[Bevbrighton]

Yep, same here

[jtay]

Nice and bright here now, as the Sun goes down. Bit breezy though.

Celebrating dec down day here. Get 'em gone.

[The Beast From The East]

It got all dark outside and rained hard for a whole 10 minutes but now its clear again. Was hoping for a nice big storm. 

[Dorsetbred]

After the rain earlier (no thunder) the sky cleared and we have a planeticious view this evening for the first time in many days (possibly weeks)..

Just goes to show what a clear night can do, currently 9.8°C, back in to the single digits even in a warm spell! 

[Dorsetbred]

Feisty, and pouring with rain right now from this

[Dorsetbred]

I dont think I've seen so much 

As there is in the MAD thread right now, two posts, one after the other, cite:

What’s false? So it’s cold for the next 10 days (overall and relative for Jan)?

“Mild and cloudy next 10 days based on latest output (relative for Jan).”

WHY DO PEOPLE BOTHER?

It's a joke in there right now.

Back to your hibernation please...

A bit more in the way of weather today! Still mostly cloudy but with a fairly lively spell of rain around lunchtime and another hefty shower this evening. Reached 11.8°C, currently 10.6°C

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, whilst overcast , it'd dry after a low of 8.7°C at: 06:58, things have warmed now 9.9°C with a slight breeze in from the SW, yet seemingly nice enough to get a few folks out on to the beach and in to the surf this morning:

From above the veil of cloud shows nicely with the lower angle of the sun:

Quite enjoying the wild differences depending on what model you look at for tomorrow afternoon down in central southern...
GFS = couple of cm slow fluries
ECMWF = Dry
Icon / Aperge = Rain

So who on Earth knows! Ha.

Rain it is!

Not sure whether we have a chance tomorrow or Wednesday… doubtful! For us in the very far south might be the best chance we have all winter
