I’m wondering if Wiltshire and Oxfordshire might squeeze in a show shower before or around midnight before the warmer air and rain move in later.

Just looked out and nothing here yet ...

Bang on 0c with 4 minutes to go ...

Time to bin this current spell, or rather 'snap'. Notably cold for a very short period but ultimately a fail.

A week of 'get through' weather to come at least, then hopefully back on track for something proper. It was nice to see freezing fog at least and a date record minimum for my location.

The freezing fog gave some gorgeous landscape views today. And we managed an ice day here in Fleet. 

Currently still below at -1.7...but warming up .

Absolutely piddling down here.

Wet  through the window very soon I suspect.

[Dorsetbred]

Miserable out there today, had a met office yellow alert pop up on my phone earlier for rain tomorrow, bring back the frosts!

Hopefully Tuesday is ok as we need to finish off putting the lights up

Outdoor lights? You better show us when done!

Well somehow I gotta clean out the chooks in this wet weahter. I stupidly forgot to empty the hose end of water so bet that's broken and will need replacing too. Sigh! Then it's on to more stressful stuff. I hate December.

[Mapantz]

Heavy downpour here. 9.9mm of rain since midnight.

[Mapantz]

Hail stones now!

[The Enforcer]

Dry spell didn't even last a week. Back to flooding.

[Mapantz]

The weather in the last 30 minutes has been more interesting than the whole of last week. 

[Easily sled]

8 degrees and wet (very wet) lets hope the next cold 'spell' delivers as that one was pretty pants.

Like you a torrential downpour which eventually turned to hailstones. That cell for us generated 74.48mm/hr giving us 11.4mm so far today, and I have a feeling there's more to come. Amazing when the cold digs in, the snow struggles to do anything, yet it warms and it p!33e3 down, non stop.

If it stops by 02:45 then it'll all be gone by the morning, unless of course you are around at 02:47 to see it
