Weather Report..................

[Pauljenny]

Panic over.! Either the wind speeds shown are in KPH or the forecast has changed. Either way you should at least make it after a bumpy ride.

That's better, thanks Bill.
Do you have any influence with Northern Rail..?

Hard frost in Shrewsbury but lovely bright sunshine at the moment although it’s only -4 degrees

-4 degrees, Dave ?
You'll have to do better than that at the weekend..
We don't possess clothes for that, and the charity shops won't be open.

Nice fresh crisp morning here

Well it will be in double figures on Sunday as it blows you towards us and next week doesn’t look too bad with daytime temps around 7 degrees and nighttime lows of 3 - 5 degrees, so no frost in the towns, just bring one layer of thermals to get you to Wetherspoons .....

-3 degrees at the moment with just a little mist. Dry until this evening though. Making the most of it for now as it sounds like an extraordinarily windy weekend.

 

[Robmac]

Heavy frost again here.

Looks like I will have to wait until next week to lay my concrete.

 

[Jeanette]

Misty dull and grey not forgetting cold today

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Frosty start and now a grey, cold mist has descended and the wind is starting to blow. Yukky poo!

As reported yesterday, Herts is still settled under high pressure and the associated still air and clear blue sky. It's chilly, to be sure, but invigorating.
So today I'll be cycling up onto Dunstable Downs to watch the gliders and paragliders soar up to join the birds.
I will, of course, be observing from inside the visitor centre and across the top of a large latte.

Frosty when I left early but nice enough now

 

[Campervanannie]

Very frosty in the frozen north I can tell because my blue car is now white.

As advertised earlier, I'm looking over this:



...........at this:



This really is a heavenly spot and thoroughly recommended should you be in the area. There's a few mohos in the overflow car park today.

Started off quite bright, but now looking grey with light drizzle - M5 matrix warning of strong winds tomorrow

 

[Jeanette]

Frosty start then grey and murky but the sun has decided to come out

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

By teatime, yesterday, the tea leaf readers were forecasting solid unbroken rain from before midnight and all day today.

The first pitter and patter woke me at 3am.
A surge, 10 minutes later, made me sure the roof was cleaned off.
It quietened down, I hopped out and connected up the cisterns.
A squall wet my hair.
By the time I'd drled my hair and hopped back into bed.....
Not another drop fell.
Today's wild guess was for no rain for days.
Breakfast outdoors, lovely spring morning, Orange blossom scent, birdsong...
We went shopping, leaving towels hanging out too air.
Yup...
It's raining.
Just checked...
No rain forecast until late tomorrow.

Bring your roof with you at the weekend when you visit the UK, Paul.
It'll most certainly collect plenty of rain for you here.
Though you may have to use some fairly substantial anchors to keep it in position.

[The laird]

Damp and gusty winds but not strong yet like we were expecting

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Clear sky and breezy here, but not yet full strength - guess that will be hitting us later! 🌪

 

[2cv]

Dry, breezy and 5 degrees at present. The rain is due to arrive at about 3 this afternoon and winds over 60 mph after 4.
