South West and Central Southern England Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[dr weather]

Gloomy start to the day ... (Have I posted this before?)

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, the overnight low of 8.1°C at: 01:33 has eased up to 11.2°C , RH82% and a light breeze from the NNW, as the front crosses the area. the first part didn't create a drop, the second part has some rain on it, but doesn't look to be that much now, expecting to see it here around 12ish.

On Golden sands, grey and devoid of life!

Cloud  breaking  some sunshine

[Andy Bown]

3 hours after it stopped raining the sun has finally broken through! I’m sure fronts used to clear quicker. Whichever direction they come from the residual cloud seems to take so long to clear! 
 

Anyone got any idea what bird this feather is from please? My boy found it on the way to school this morning. I have searched various websites but haven’t found a definitive answer.

[mike5900]

Might be a pheasant.

 mike5900 I'm going pheasant

[DaveL]

Dry as a bone here, right in the gap. None of the rain reached the ground.

The only shower in the South West is currently blocking out my Sunshine.

[jtay]

Now we're talking. Finally got the Sun and it's pretty nice out of the wind.

[Dorsetbred]

A bright afternoon, enable me to get on with the decorating, as decorating in the gloom is quite challenging. So finished the room, now to put the furniture back in readiness for the granddaughter visit on Sunday.

 Andy Bown Looks a lot like these:

As @*Stormforce~beka* commented does look that way.

Thank you @mike5900 @*Stormforce~beka* @Dorsetbred it most certainly looks like a pheasant!

[Dorsetbred]

Morning All, quiet today, is everybody outside enjoying the warm sunshine and cool breeze? The overnight low of 3.0°C at: 06:31 was cooler than of late, currently 9.8°C, RH69% and a light breeze in from the WSW with broken clouds at an altitude of 3,400 ft.

From Above showing the inbound showers

A fair number of showers, some fairly strong ones

On Golden sands

Sat in bed drinking coffee not wanting to go in the garden now it's raining but wanting to go in the garden lol. I'll start with cleaning out the chooks and see how we go ...

[jtay]

In and out 3 times today, with the showers.

Another heavy one blowing through now, then a gap hopefully. 

[Mapantz]

No showers at all this morning. Grass was the driest it has been for months, so I get the strimmer out and wind some new cable on it, then it starts hailing/raining and a rumble of thunder. That's that until it fully dries out!

Doodle joined me in the porch.

Absolutely tipping it down in Trowbridge, probably won’t last long but very heavy.

[dr weather]

Squally day here, mostly dry but you don't want to stray too far from cover today given how heavy the showers are when they do appear.

[SummerShower]

Massive hail shower just moving through here.  I kid you not there are some sleetflakes within it as well.

[Dorsetbred]

Looking like the last band of showers heading our way for the day, after rain and hail, it's certainly cooler out there.

[Andy Bown]

If you’re ever in Warminster and want some great views go up Elm Hill past the golf course and as high as you can get. Absolute treat this afternoon! And I stayed dry!
