  1. raz.org.rain Would be good to know how many wet springs were followed by dry warm summers, its not a combo I think happens that much.
  2. A theme of the last 9 months has been a strong iberian/euro high trying hard to push north, but quite strong heights to our north as well, sometimes NW, sometimes NE, but never positioning themselves to allow northern blocking to exert a hold against the atlantic. The effect, the atlantic trough has been squeezed inbetween on a collision course for the UK, right now is a good example, July notably so. Sometimes the trough has elongated and been forced back on itself to our west, pushing in mild southerlies and south westerlies.. Feb a good example. We do seem to be in a never ending washing cycle of low pressure spinning around and around over and near the UK. Back to the Easter 4 day period, mixed in a word, variable conditions UK wide, unusually the far north may end up being the driest place. Good Friday - very showery, some places could be plagued by heavy ones, others may escape dry. Rather cloudy and temps average. Easter Saturday - less showery, but still threat for anywhere, brighter breaks and will feel mild in any sun and light winds Easter Sunday - perhaps the best chance of staying dry, and mildest day of the 4 days. Could be very decent. Easter Monday - could be quite wet in places. A little cooler.
  3. No sooner had I finished typing that last post, the rain arrived, becoming quite heavy for quite a while. Hoping we will see a few decent dry breaks over next 4 days. Umbrella at hand!
  4. Surprisingly it has stayed mostly dry since this morning's early rain cleared. Just the lightest of a shower recently. Rather dull skies overall, although there was an attempt at something bright at lunchtime. Temperatures nothing to write home about, max below 9 degrees. All very average.
  5. CET may rise to 8.3 degrees thanks to milder maxima next couple of days. The lack of frost in central and southern parts has been notable this month, but no surprise given the persistant low heights. One of the most low pressure mean Marches I reckon.
  6. Summer8906 Ah yes couldn't quite remember how long the warm dry spell lasted in 1998, I confuse it with 2008 which there were close parallels with winter- spring- summer wise, but other than first half May was probably worse.
  7. Summer8906 2024 so far has followed a very similiar trajectory to 1998, Dec 97 included... April was a chilly wet affair, but we saw a 10 day very warm sunny dry spell early-mid May. Sadly it all imploded and the second half of May and whole summer was cool and wet.. it was a super el nino followed by quick la nina transition... again very similiar to 23-24....
  8. Penrith Snow A classic surprise snowfall, can often pop up in spring. All due to a small low feature with cold air wrapped in, the track of the low meant places on its west flank were fed the cold air, hence why the SW and Wales had snow, alas as its tracked north, here its just rain. Arriving in the evening helped as well combined with rate of precipitation enabled evaporative cooling to take hold. Just shows never cast aside chance of snow until the season is out, and we have April and May yet. Had it arrived on Sunday for Easter, it would have made far more headlines, and further east no doubt!
  9. ANYWEATHER Can just about make out the UK amongst the blue.. Will give firmer thoughts on Easter 4 day period later, it has chopped and changed somewhat, will we see at least one dry day?
  10. Some parts of the SW seem to be experiencing most snow of season so far this eve, 27 March!!!
  11. Very little, well no mention of snow potential at low levels on any forecasts this eve, yet, areas close to the coast in balmy Devon are getting some.. are the forecasters asleep, caught out big time. I see the met has issued a snow warning for Wales, I think in past 10 minutes for 1am to 7am, what a nonsense, far too late for anyone to take notice, reminds me of the amber snow debacle here on 2 Dec when it was too late.
  12. BlueSkies_do_I_see Yes mid March to mid June is for here at least our 'dry' slot.. by late June chances of dry weather ebb away quick.
  13. cheese Need to re-locate the UK, being at the edge of warming atlantic and prevailing SW wind dragged from the depths of the tropics is a recipe for rain and more rain.
  14. WYorksWeather Oh my goodness what on earth produced such a cold spring, to see 2 months 3 degrees below average back to back is probably unprecedented, a major SSW affect perhaps! April at 4.7 degrees! What!
  15. WYorksWeather Yes south westerly months Nov - Apr will always result in very mild CET values, but in 'feel' don't register as mild, namely due to lack of sun, rain or low cloud and often windy to boot. Sadly we see far too many such months...
