  1. Scorching sun. No worries about 35c + heatwaves then!
  2. Interesting start to the day - was -1.1c a short while ago with plenty of frost and ice after yesterday afternoons rain. Then a band of small showers popped up off the coast and moved in, causing freezing rain for a short period and the temp to shoot up to 1c in a matter of minutes! I could see and hear the ice melting off the gutters and dropping onto the conservatory roof below! In fact, it’s going up so fast my weather station graph can’t keep up with the change, but since starting writing this post, it’s now over 3c. One of the fastest temp rises I’ve ever seen! I’ll add a photo in a bit of the graph when it’s caught up, in the meantime this was outside just over an hour ago: And here is the graph:
  3. Doesn’t look that bad tomorrow with regard to the wind on the south coast, gusts not forecast to exceed 40mph so not even a proper windy day
  4. A much nicer day than forecast, mostly sunny up to mid/late afternoon with a high of 12.9c. Raining hard again now, 10.21mm today following 27.10mm yesterday.
  5. A rapid drop in temperature last night as the cold front with its associated squall line passed through at around 2am. Dropped from 10.4c at 1:54am to 7.4c at 2:04am and then 6.5c just another 10 minutes later - not bad! So jealous of the snow that’s going to fall elsewhere the next day or two. My poor leaky conservatory will turn into a sieve once again once the rain gets going.
  6. It was only meant to get down to 4c here overnight but the frost hollow effect is working well as it is -1.9c Looking round at local stations it’s very variable, several degrees above or below freezing depending on topography and a fair few -4c across rural Kent and Sussex!
  7. Really howling outside now and strongest gusts not yet reached us. MO has updated to say 2am will be the peak now (for my location) before falling away rapidly.
  8. If you put in the 5 day forecast for your area it shows you there’s a warning for each day and then click on it tells you it’s a wind warning. The amber for SE is a bit east of you. Your location: My location: Amber warning area:
  9. That soon changed early hours - it’s now 4c! Can hear the wind again blowing through the trees out the back and see the radar up north heralding in the new milder period. Ah well, onto the next chase in February?
  10. Not as cold here as it was Tuesday morning (-5.6c) as it’s currently down to -2.4c. Scanning round some of the weather stations in Scotland, I’ve seen lots below -10c and a few to -15c. Lowest one is -16c that I could find.
