Not many days can describe as ideal weather wise for fell walking. Today was one such day. Could not fault the conditions. Superb walking weather.

Lots of snow on top of Great Dodd ... as you correctly say superb conditions. Looks like lakes will get a good topping up during next week.

Yes more snow in April than much of  Jan and Feb!

[severe snowstorm]

It has turned into another decent weekend for getting out and about. A mostly bright and dry day yesterday and we escaped the showers. A similar story again today by the looks of it with another dry day, but more cloud likely. A few days of mild damp weather from tomorrow, but perhaps a return to the drier colder conditions as we head into next weekend. Its only early April so one or two more wintry incursions are not out of the question.

Graupel falling from the sky here at the moment.  1.5°

[Joe Snow]

A cold cloudy start got down to -1c in the night currently 2c - early April is usually fairly chilly at times - I would rather get any chilly Spring weather out the way with this month with a warm summery May but here’s hoping we can see a return of some Spring like warmth before months end.

Up at 7ish this morning and expected to see everything white with frost but nothing so whether cloud moved in and stopped it falling away, not sure but certainly not what I was expecting.

a quick 4 mile walk done so off to get our PCR tests done now followed by a lengthy squeaky bum period while we wait for the results.

Hail showers at the moment from sunshine a few mins ago

Some towering cumulus about today

[A Face like Thunder]

A nice bright morning after a cold frosty start. Not feeling too bad in the sun, but a nagging breeze taking the edge off the temperatures out  of it.

[damianslaw]

A much cloudier day and with the absence of sunshine despite temps being slightly higher than recent days still only 8 degrees it feels much colder.

[severe snowstorm]

A real contrast here to the North of the region. It's turned out more sunny than I was expecting today, rounding off a decent weekend. It has clouded in during the past hour, high of 9.8C.

[iand61]

PCR results came back negative so just got the LFT ones tomorrow evening to get through then it’s Caribbean cruise here we come

What could possibly go wrong

[A Face like Thunder]

Big change, damp and drizzly this morning and definitely no frost or ice to contend with. Forecast to brighten up a bit later on, we shall see. 

[weatherobsuk]

Soggy, Windy, Chilly, Foggy, basically a vile day to be anywhere out in the hills this afternoon, I made it 1/4 mile before getting soaked through and decided the warmth of the car was the better option.

[Frost HoIIow]

Yes not a great day drizzly rain, mist hugging the still bare trees in the valley. Milder though..... temp has got into double figures but in the breeze and zero sunshine it's felt more like 7 or 8C. Similar tomorrow by the looks of things before it turns brighter, showery & colder Wednesday onwards.

Lost the polar air today hence the dank drizzly low cloud and no sunshine. Despite temps nudging 12 degrees hasn't felt particularly mild.

Looking forward to the return of polar air on Wednesday, sunshine and frost.

Miserable Monday after a fairly decent all be it chilly weekend weather wise Cheshire way leaden skies with drizzly rain on and off, cool & breezy. Looks like we aren’t the only ones across Europe not feeling Spring like though - Spain & Portugal looking particularly cold for the time of year & not offering much Easter holiday sun at the moment. 

[severe snowstorm]

A miserable day today, overcast and damp throughout and a high of 9.8C. Fortunately, just a couple of days to endure of this weather, with a return to brighter and colder conditions from Wednesday onwards with wintry showers for some. Far more preferable to this dull weather.

[A Face like Thunder]

Another miserable morning, with 'wetter' rain than yesterday, but with the prospect of something better later in the day.

[A Face like Thunder]

As forecast, a much better second half of the day, but bright rather than sunny.

[jimben]

Rain throughout the day, much heavier during the afternoon. Minimum temp of 8.3c now. Rainfall of 10.9mm and still more to come before midnight. Max wind gust of 40mph from the SW at 07:48. Several hours of snowfall due for Blencathra over the next few days 

[A Face like Thunder]

Dry and bright start to the day here in the south of the region.

[Had Worse]

Morning All,

A bright, even sunny start but the radar depicts whats to come in an hour or two.

I've been swamped of late with family pressures so had to prioritise my time. This morning, I've  allowed myself 10 minutes to come on here.

[Rain Lady]

Miserably wet, chilly and cloudy again. Currently steady rain.

March rain total was only 34.9mm  

Already April given us 43.1mm
