South West & Central Southern England - Weather Chat, 6th December and Onwards...

[khodds]

Thanks Jethro! Lovely! Looking forward to it - going to make the kids walk to school in it tomorrow then... They will hate me 

[MrNooo]

Just -2.5C here, not an ice day, actually very pleasant in the sun today out of any breeze.

Some pics from around the farm, think it was in 2012 when we had the last lot of lovely Hoar frost.

They're awesome. Hoping there#ll be some of that in the morning!

Mild from Thursday.

Friday looking at 12c in far south west, just in time for our regular January long w/e in Dartmouth.

Winter 15/16 shaping up to be v disappointing re snow with barely one month to go. Not even a snowflake here.

Crikey, even the  mild Winters of my childhood and teens, in early/mid 70s, produced the odd snowfall.

Hovering around the freezing mark. Crazy that just 100 miles to the east its sub zero.  We may be a small island but the differences in the weather are stark

[Andy Bown]

Wondering how cold it could be out in the sticks tonight, -3.0c in a town area at 20.00, been a very long time since this kind of temperature this early in the night.

Indeed Andy. Feels colder than when I was in Warsaw at christmas. Hovering at -1.6C here.

[Evening thunder]

Well, it rained yesterday. 22.2mm and 8.0mm the day before. The river was pretty high again (the lowest parts of the floodplain under water)

 A min of -1.6C this morning, didn't quite manage frost lingering all day with a max of 5.3C. Now -2.3C and I'm looking forward to a proper frost tonight. -4/-5C here hopefully.

Down to -3.2 here now, guess it'll hit -5 if I'm lucky!

[Evening thunder]

Thanks Knocker, turns out it's because it is my station!

Curious as to why they chose mine and not others around me that upload to the same platforms (Wunderground, WOW), but am happy for them to use it

Edit: Not sure why Paul has (apparently) removed your reply and my quote of your earlier one lol

Re-edit: Ok maybe I do.. looking elsewhere on that site the forum and other bits look like a blatant copy of Netweather... (unless both just use chart graphics and forum software sourced from the same place, not completely sure how it works)

-5.4c now altough decline has slowed up greatly. 

[SP1986]

Due to the potential occurrence of a frost in Southwest England, including Devon and Cornwall, your Riviera status has here by been revoked. It will now be handed to somewhere roughly in the Merseyside area of Northern England or North Wales region

Not quite most of devon and cornwall have struggled to get below freezing. Its frustrating when everyone else (apart from your goodself) are having near ice days 

[SP1986]

I assume it's struggling again? Met-Office seem adamant colder temperature for southwest tonight, on a more widespread basis. We shall see.. It would be nice to see you guys get some wintry scenes.

[Mapantz]

A mere -2.6°C here. A heatwave is comparison to some of you folks..

[Stargazer]

-3.8 here in Reading, think we're heading for around -6, which would be the coldest here since February 2012. Benson looks clearer and colder than last night so probably a good chance of breaking -10 there I'd say, after last night's minimum of -8.4.

Unless the negative goes into double digits life goes on in Frosty Hollows

Edited because I didn't read the above post first!

Lol, The Nasturtiums that have hung on in a sheltered part of the garden (even here in a relatively frost prone valley) will have had it now..

-3.4C.. come on temp, I want -5C (probably won't beat the -6.7C last December though)

Drove into Warminster at 7pm and it was -2C then which as you say is pretty good going for that early in the evening. -5/-6C is about your limit without snow cover. Managed -15C in 2010 with snow which made working outside challenging !

You make sure you've got spf30+ on if you're nipping outside.Don't want to take risks

[wiltshire weather]

-5.9^oC here now so may get to -7 or lower by the end of the night!
