Temperatures have been swinging quite wildly today - some short lived
showers of rain and then hail, and no looking at the IR animation it
appears we are on the southern flank of the flabby low pressure, but
enough to bring wind in off the Bristol Channel - have to see what
tomorrow brings.

Cheers

NAE brings in rain for me at 310 metres tonight with a temperature of +3C.
I don't believe it one bit, saw similar in Feb 2009 and that system dumped 9
inches of snow.

Now up to a balmy +3.1 in Porthcawl. Needs a change of wind direction,
though looking at the UK temperature maps the milder air is spreading.

was -3.7C.

After a mostly sunny afternoon, it's now down to -6.6C, here, under clear skies. I'd expect it falling a few more degrees yet, tonight, over the snowfields around here.

Lovely crunchy walk back from the pub a few minutes ago.....

Temp now dropping like a stone - the fastest drop i have seen bar
precipitation induced cooling. Gone from 3.3 to 1.4 in 30 mins and still
falling. After the moderate rain of this afternoon's showers roads are
going to be lethal if the cooling continues.
