South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

Another wet walk this morning.

[Rich_Clements]

Morning. More rain! 

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, at least this is the day in February that it can rain. Happy Birthday any leaplings

As for the weather, well it seems to be a groundhog day, with the overnight high of 9.9°C at: 05:27 being followed by the low of 7.7°C at: 08:08 due to the wind direction changing in from the N. RH97% and light air movement from the SW.

On Golden sands a calm channel and interesting cloudbase

And this is being saved for later tonight

Don’t worry, we will soon be finished with our wet February days.  They will be no more.

Instead, we will get to experience some wet, March days.

Interesting quick check on the amount of sunshine here for the past month to midday today:

Sunshine hours for the month: 26:29 hrs

Norra lot really.

[jtay]

Starting March with one of these...

pretty tragic really.

[jy]

 jtay got a mower sorted yet

 jtay my garden rice crops will be rejoicing

[jtay]

 jy no, the exact one that I want is back in stock next Monday apparently.

[jy]

 jtay OK any problems  let me.know

[jtay]

 jy Will do. Cheers.

I'll probably get one with a roller, after giving it some thought.

[jy]

 jtay have a look at a cobra dg450

[jtay]

 jy Will have a butchers. Ta.

[Andy Bown]

The amount of cloud outside of the rain bands is pretty frustrating to be honest!

Yesterday was cloudy before and after the rain band, with lightbulb sun visible for a while in the morning.

Now today the rain band stopped 3+ hours ago yet it’s only now the lightbulb sun is visible. And it’s very unlikely to get brighter! 

[jtay]

 jy looks like the dg450 is the engine, but will read up on Cobras this evening.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay I don't want it! Need eto get in the garden!

[jy]

 jtay it has a roller I believe check it's cost against what you propose to buy

[jtay]

 *Stormforce~beka* Same here, but when it is dry this weekend, I reckon it'll be too cold for you out there.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay Agree! Scarf, hat and gloves it will be. Stuff needs doing now we are in MArch!

[jtay]

 jy What a choice... A Ferrari red Cobra, or Chelsea blue Hyundai.

[jtay]

 *Stormforce~beka* Apparently, if you've got any surgical gloves kicking around, put those on under your gardening gloves and you won't get cold hands.

Ummm……….  What be that symbol at 08:00 tomorrow morning?

Hopefully a dry weekend coming up, albeit still cloudy and probably rather chilly.  Can’t expect too much now can we!

[jy]

 jtay now compare costs

[jtay]

 jy The matching one I think would be the 'Cobra RM514SPC Lawnmower Rear Roller Self Propelled'. Which is about £40 cheaper. It also has a steel, rather than plastic roller.

More stock arriving mid-March by the sounds of it.

[jy]

 jtay had 2 yellow cards discussing non weather items message better bet

Confused as I posted earlier the expectation from ECM was for the rain to pass through overnight hours around 3am. Then tomorrow was looking like this:

From GFS it was looking like this:

UKV has this for tomorrow

And add GEFS to that we have:

Now we have 5 possibilities, yer takes yer choice...

So that would suggest the MetO are in agreement with the GEFS/GFS forecast rather than the ECMWF.
