It's a shocker to think we are still running +1c above the monthly average for April.
It's been pretty miserable month on the whole, with what feels little or no warmth to talk about. Yet here we are still running above average.
Lots of flooding around here this morning.
127mm so far this month. Only January (69mm) and September (97mm) have been below 100mm this Autumn/Winter.
Longing for some dry warm weather now. This Winter has been a hard one to take! Promised so much, but in the end delivered nothing but rain.
Temp got down to-3.4c before rising to 0.5c.
Gotta say, this cold spell ain't living up to the hype.
To top it all off, we're back to wind and rain from the weekend onwards........ Nice!
Next week, is typical UK weather in January. This week is not.
All the hype over an extended cold spell was misplaced. Unfortunately once the South Westerlies set in,it will be 2-4wks before we could see anything cold, and that's not guaranteed.
We shall see. But to my eyes, things are trending away from a nationwide event.
Somewhere will hit the jackpot, but it ain't going to be anywhere in the South.
I would say areas in the South are trending less likely to see any cold and snowy conditions. I think we'll see a mixture of rain and snow, but places further North should be feeling happy about where we are heading.
