North Belgium...
...wet, windy and cold. A day for inside jobs.
(Your area today?)
South Essex - rain and wind last night [ no not artichokes!] but bright and still and mild this morning.
Is it the calm before the storm?
Amber Valley,Derbyshire.
Bright sunny day so far and a little breezy......defo the calm before the storm!
Been to my plot this morning and double checked everything still tied down that I tied down yesterday.....fingers crossed now.
Sunny and a little breezy. Blue skies. Had one tiny sprinkle of rain. Storms are expected late tonight, during the night and all day Monday. ::)
Like Fork... bright and Sunny... fingers crossed for tonight/tomorrow!
;D
trying hard to snow in saddleworth, am scared about the winds as we seem to be in the eye of it - half my life is in the greenhouse as it is choc-a-block with goodies :'(
Been lovely in Northampton, a bit a rain earlier. Gone cold now.
had great down pour this am, but been lovely all afternoon, hoping its not going to be too bad here later and tommorow am, as the saying goes the calm before the storm...
to everyone in the south or even wales i think they said. good luck and i hope people don't suffer much if any damage. mpg
Here in Daventry its been a lovely day with much sun and, about 30mins ago, a short shower of rain. Nice conditions for some gentle preparation for planting in the next several weeks and tidying up all the bits that get left till time becomes available - in all a good day at the plot!! :) :) :) :) :) ;)
Glorious in Hull
Bright sunshine, squally showers on the south coast of Wales. Winds starting to pick up now tho. Good luck all!
Sunshine and a couple of showers in Surrey today.
Sinbad
Central Brittany.... Not to bad today but forecast for 3am onwards in awful. Had storms about the same time two days ago - husband jumped out of bed to switch of pc and livebox and me to check that small plastic greenhouse still standing ;) He obviously got the idea as when it started to get windy today he moved the greenhouse into the garage for me... bless.
South East England not far from Hastings.
Forecast fearsome, but got down to the allotment with three grandsons and a couple of parents, and had brilliant three or four hours without the threatened wind and downpours. Lit four fires and cooked lunch and ate it in sunshine. Also did some digging and planted more potatoes.
Has been a great day here in March (Cambs) Fingers crossed for it to continue
North Belgium:
Started off dry but windy this morning. Went for a 6 mile dog walk. Got back just in time. It's now blowing pretty wild and raining cats & dogs!
Down & counting!! Don't recall it so low.
Worse to come for us on Wednesday & Thursday.
the gales hit us at 3.00am and took hold between 4 - 6 am, now it is lovely and it seems the south west and soon the south east has been hit the worst, again with floods - and more to come
sympathy to all - not checked the greenhouse yet, I daren't :(
We had a stormy patch this morning between about 6-30am and 9am but nothing exceptional, quite heavy rain and some strong gusts. Very nervously put eldest son on coach at 7-30am for AS level Art trip to Tate Gallery in London. A text later informed me that after 2 hours (about 40mins away) they'd reached Hatfield and the bad weather.
We've got sunshine and gusts at the moment. It went very calm for awhile around 10.
Near Bristol
strong wind,heavy rain,hail def not a day for the allotment

thanks lorna I was wondering how things were at home, the sun is shining here and its a great day but i suspect that the weather in denmark will get worse later in the week with luck i can miss the weather in both countrys when i travel back.
OOPS Cambourne, not so good now!! Now raining again and the wind is whistling round the bungalow. Methinks I will stay indoors :)
South Essex.
Very nasty strong gusty waether first thing this morning, then the sunshine came out so I went and checked the lottie.....and now it is dull and raining again and the wind is getting up again.
Turned nasty down here in Wales now. My dogs are very restless and pacing which is generally not a good sign. And they're going to be worse later because I'm not risking walking them today. Don't fancy a tree branch on my head! :o
:-\ Oh my goodness, taking a real battering here in Warwickshire... started in earnest in the early hours and just seems to have gotten worse!! Madly going around picking things up that are strewn all over the garden..... I can see a few trees that have finally collapsed across the fields... well the diseased ones that have been threatening to fall at any time.... Will be glad when the wind ceases as its starting to grate on the nerves now... Thankfully greenhouse still surviving!!
(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo-wind/0014.gif)
Well it's very sunny here but the wind is very strong. Not liking these conditions at all. I prefer sun and a slight breeze ::)
West Essex - VERY windy!! No rain yet but it's forecast for later. I work in a unit situated on farm land and every strong gust makes the whole thing sound as if I'm going to disappear wizard of oz style!
Taking a bashing here in Dunstable too, few trees blown over across the roads.
Belgium;
Went to do a jobo on my bike this morning. Stood on the peddles and just stood still....the wind was sooo strong!
Coming back was a doddle tho!
Very windy again in South Essex, especially form 4 a.m - so not much sleep again! Visited the lottie this morning - too blustery to stay, but only one shed over on the whole site so far, but lots of compost bin lids flying around!
Heavy rain last night and very gusty. Today the sun keeps popping in and out with ferocious gusts. But the fence is still up.....just!
Greenhouse is still ok too, it doesn't have much choice, there's more rope on it than I care to divulge ;D ;D ;D

Apparantly east anglias going to get it tonight so fingers crossed. My flight back is tomorrow afternoon so i am hoping to miss some of the weather.
Here in March the wind is furiously blowing, at least it's not raining, but it's also bitter cold
I agree with Lorna, It's a day for staying inside - maybe I'll plan this year's garden
Kathi
Dry & bright in Cheshire but blowy. Dare I say, not as bad as was predicted here & not as bad as it was two weeks ago.
I took a risk & hung out a washing with extra pegs. If it doesn't dry today there's something very wrong!
Prink I had to go to the vets to get prescription and I am not kidding it was a job to stand up straight. Sun is still shining. Last week I got Lorna's gardener to concrete the fence posts in, the whole fence is now leaning towards Lorna's!! Hope it doesn't go right down and damage her shrubs. If the fence does go I will cut the panels down to 3ft and if it is too badly damaged it can be burnt. I still have a chain link fence (dogs won't be able to get out) We only had the panels put up when our elderly lovely neighbour died and we didn't know who was moving in. At least I get on with the next door neighbours ;D
Lorna, you're right, even I nearly got blown away in town - the wind was so strong, actually made it difficult to catch my breath on the walk home!
Kathi
Well, Cheltenham Races were off!
bad here (saddleworth) but not as bad as the other night and we also had a mini tornado, went very dark, lashes of rain and severe gusts of wind - lasted all of 30 secs, weird
still haven't dared to go look at the greenhouse :(
:-\ Well what a day its has been here in Warwickshire... very rough winds all day long, debris everywhere, and many trees sadly blown down. Particularly sad about one tree that has blown down that I have been able to have the privilege of watching grow and mature over the past twenty eight years......
Have fought to get washing on and off the line during the day,but at least I do now have a pile of dry washing which is a big help!
Took the dog for an hours walk this afternoon he his a border collie so has a great deal of energy to burn off and I have some weight to burn off!! so the walk is great for both of us... although hard to walk at times due to the wind and sometimes hard to get ones breath...... Think I have heard somewhere that the wind will be dropping to a much calmer level soon... hooray!!!!
Greenhouse thankfully still standing.........
Hope everyone else is ok!!!

Weather was worse yesterday than they'd forecast for the earlier part of the week! Not a wink of sleep the night before. Few tubs over and the fence is looking very sorry for itself. Up the lottie, the shed roof is gaping on the corners but I think it's holding and next door lottie did have a dilapidated greenhouse which is now totally collapsed. Worst damage has been by everyone elses bits and pieces landing on the plot. Got off lightly though by the sounds of things.
Belgium.
What a difference a day makes. Just had my dog out for a 5 miler and apart from a bit of wind it was good. Even warm in the sunshine.
Adelaide South Australia
We have had temps over 35c for the last ten days, 40c last Saturday and Sunday and 40c yesterday Wednesday, was 39c today Thursday.
Send some out your rain our way, we have not seen any of the wet stuff here for over two months!!!!
Take care
Gill
Much calmer, fence still standing although it is leaning slightly greenhouse OK. Hope
those of you have suffered more damage can get back to normality soon.
Glad to hear it is getting better slowly over there. (We had our dose of 130km/h winds two weeks ago). Here it is another lovely sunny day, 16°C, warm breeze - and swarms of pollen blowing off the cypres trees, causing us allergy sufferers to really suffer! AAaaachouuu! ;D
Much calmer here today, overcast and............quite chilly. Rain expected later.
a relative calm now in saddleworth, visited the plot and all is well :D the sun came out and it was a reminder of spring again at last, phew
Lovely sunny day today. 8) ;D ;D ;D
the 'worm' full moon is on the 21st - should be safe after that :-\
Pi**ing down today in London. :'( :'( :'(
West Essex - it's been raining but it's REALLY windy :o Looking out the back door just now, the rake flew by the window and the bird table nearly went over!
Anything but in so-called sunny Hampshire. Heavy rain, fence flapping in the wind, trying to pluck up courage to get some seed trays from the shed. :-\ :-\ :( :( :( :(
I got up this morning at 5.30 am and travelled 110 miles to marks tey in essex to a vintage motocross meeting i was competing in only for it to be cancelled when i got there. so turned round and just got home and its still raining
The rain has stopped now in my bit of West Sussex but the wind tipped out all my empty pots from an old mini greenhouse this morning :(
Rained here all day yesterday. Today it's bright but it feels cold. Ideal digging day, but will wait until tomorrow. I've also found a source of truely well rotted manure....Black Gold...So I'll be getting some bags of that tomorrow. The chap has four tons and I can have a much as I need. ;D
Lauren :)
:-\ Very wet and windy day here in Warwickshire. Started Saturday afternoon at about 2pm and has been going on and off ever since! Really miserable and my dog and I got very wet and muddy on his walk this morning..... fed up of mud, wet coats, wet towels to dry dog and muddy wet wellies.... roll on spring and summer!!!!
On the other hand its an excuse to stay indoors and catch up on indoor chores (yes dreaded housework) some television programmes and a good book... oh and last but not least an hour or two on Allotments 4 All!!

I used to live in Para Hills West - sounds like it has got hotter and a lot drier, although i would love that weather for about a week just about now.
went to Sharpness dock and walked along the canel /river Avon the rain stayed off although we saw lots of flooded fields on the way there
I intended to plant out onion and cabbage plants on saturday but it rained ! and I am so glad I didn,t as a heavy frost is forcast in the west country tonight

... West Essex. VERY windy and we now have a quite hefy hail storm going on! Eeek! :o
earlier on it was glorious, wall to wall sunshine although a bit blustery. Dug the last bed and generally pottered about.
Clouds came over at about 4pm and we had a few showers but hardly got damp but the sky was looking ominous. About 5.30 had a thunder and hail storm
About normal for March ;)
South Staffs , just had a mini blizzard only lasted a few minutes though1
...Gateshead (a very hilly part of it).
I reckon we've had all four seasons. Got up at 6am to sunshine. Then it started raining. Very windy at times today. Sunshine again. Then hailstones. Then blustery rain. Then sun. Very grey and pretty nippy, but dry now.
South Essex - very cold blustery rain which has now turned to hail!!!
Meriden...............snow showers all day and very cold wind.........Oh well ,my greenhouse has already blown down so I have not got to worry about that :)

Very windy in Northampton too, had snow, bright sunshine and hail. Dogs ran outside and thought it was some kind of food.........they ran back in fairly quick looking puzzled ;D ;D ;D
One neighbour has roped his fence down, thank goodness. It was threatening to come down on top of the g'house. The fence on the otherside is blowing around like a sheet on a washing line now :-\
Here is pic of Gypsy with a snowball I made her from the snow 5 mins ago.[attachment=1]
Here is the sunshine, 5 mins later.[attachment=2]

Salford up North. It snowed.
Actually, just noticed it looks like my dog's leg has fallen off!! ;D

Woke up to snow here in Derby....about 3" of it, but it's thawing fast...
Been snowing here in Enfield since I got up at 7.30 but easing off and not settling, might just pop to the lottie to put in another row of ealies. ;D ;D ;D
freezing, sleety showers here and there, worn out from the last two days so sat watching gardener's world repeats ;D
It is snowing right now at the other side of the pond.
Just come back from the lottie, snows stopped but its bloody freezing, I've just seen a penguin outside with a scarf on. :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sunny Rawnsley [South staffs] now 8) at 07.45 we had 2" of snow anyone getting up after 9 oclock would have missed it . Bright sunshine but very cold at the moment.
Pickle ;D
1-2 inches here and its cold
A few inches in Hull and staying there, the pekes love it though XX Jeannine
no snow here but plenty of rain (dorset}
Light covering of snow this morning, but all melted now. Freezing!
cj :)
.....West Essex, SNOW! Yay!!! ;D My OH is refilling the bird food and all the birds are chirping impatiently, waiting for him to finish ;D
I think the clouds got a massive puncture just now............................so heavy, so dark, so bloody WET :-\
Has been a very nice morning, now I have finished household chores and ready to go gardening the sky has become overcast, few spots of rain but I am going out there!!! Can always dive in the greenhouse if it gets too wet.
Don't tell anyone......but its not raining here today!
Sun then rain then sun currently clouds. Putting on my umpteenth washing (reorganised the linen cupboard), planting up my planters at the front door and then I'm off hopefully to put some tatties in.
Very high winds here i think we might loose a couple of fence pannels in the garden if it continues, look like trip to lotty is off as the wind is always worse there.
And the rain has just started :'(
Was lucky to get a bit of digging done and my 9 yr old son cut the grass, came indoors and heavens opened!!
Rain now lashing down on conservatory roof!
Warm greenhouse and seed sowing is on the cards!!
Debs
Spoke too soon - its raining now!
Sun then wind then rain. :'( :'( :'( ;D ;D ;D

Weed-Digga

What a perfect start to the first day of BST!! Met office reports a bit of a hic up regarding rain tomorrow but Tuesday and Wednesday look promising!!!

Sunshine in Notts, but some of us had go to work today. :'(
sun is just popping its head out in sussex 8.50
:D :D :D 5rod
The weather forcast on the news showed rain but it hasn't stopped shinning here in Swanage and managed to get in 3 hours weeding.... groan ;)
Cold, overcast and misty first thing, the sun is trying to burn its way through the clouds now. Temperature has risen a bit. Rain is forcast for later here too.........Northampton
It's beautiful here this morning. Weare off to Prague this afternoon for 3 nights. Unfortunately it looks like rain is coming both home and away! >:(
The weather in the East Mids today is just great just hope it stays the same for the rest of the week :) :)
Beautiful day here (March. Cambs). have had 2 lovely days of gardening.
Its been nice here for the last two days. 8) ;D ;D ;D
Make the most of these few nice days as they are forecasting sleet and snow and back to 7 degrees maximum again for the weekend.[around here anyway]
For the last two days here in Kent it has started out lovely at about 7am but by 9am when Ive got my son to school the heavens have opened. It stays wet all day then when its getting too dark to do anything it clears up :'( so frustrating
Meriden Sunshine and very strong wind.............enough to blow your socks off as they say. :)
It's been lovely and sunny today but really, really windy! Forecast for temps to drop over weekend, with threat of light snow - although being on the coast of South Wales, I doubt very much if we'll get any. Was gobsmacked when I checked greenhouse temp today it was 30 degrees centigrade! Which I think is about 86 fahrenheit - I have no clue, but figured that was too warm so opened the zips up and left it at about 20 centigrade. ???
Sunny - but - 60 mph winds here in the North East...
Don't know what on earth is going on this year - I can't remember having such strong winds for years. It seems to have been fairly non-stop since New Years day! ???
today i have been wondering why i did not pack my sunglasses. The sun in denmark is amazing not all that warm but did not need my gloves today ;)
our weather here in north wales was yek rain on and off all day that put pay to my day at the lottie when when will it stay dray for once
Mild with sunny spells. ;D ;D ;D
well to day it stayed dry but would you know it l had to go to bangor l will get there l have planded to go on saturday finger crossed it will be okay
sorry for the moan
Cloudy and mild then sunny and warmish this morning, hailstones, rain and a bit of sun this afternoon..........very chilly tonight :(
:( What mixed weather we have had in Warwickshire today, cloudy, sunny, windy, rain, hail and flipping cold!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Roll on sunshine!!!!
(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo-sun-2/0003.gif)
yes it is about time we had some nice warm weather
A few light showers, and a heavy one this evening. Apart from that it was OK.
:-\ :o Snow forecast for Warwickshire tomorrow!! May even get to make a snowman! LOL!!
(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo-snowmen/0063.gif)
here in sunny surrey we have a good inch and a half of snow :o
For those poor deprived people who missed it, or can't get to the allotment today.
thank you Tim, i have taken a picture on daughters phone in case its gone before they all wake up but i cant get that onto here
my nectarine looks lovely with all the snow on the blossom (no fruit this year then)
Snow shouldn't hurt it? It's tomorrow's frost that you should watch. Get some fleece out!
ok, thankyou tim
lbb
Solihull - an inch of snow but it is melting away. Sky looks lovely and sunny.
Becky
woke up this morning to a good inch of snow!! 8)
same here woke up and it was covered in snow, me and the boys have been outside playing in it, now its melting and the sun is out
We have snow on the ground.. Andy has a rugby match in half an hour!!
;D
Snow here too - not surprising as we`re just down the A52!
Can you play rugby in snow?
An inch of snow in central Birmingham. I'm just hoping it lasts long enough to get some pics down the site later, as it's all over the trees here. I can't see myself planting onions as I intended though!
I've just dropped him off and the snow has more or less melted off the pitch... well sited early sun and all...
;D
Not a sign of snow he're although it's very cold, but beautiful sunny morning. Wondering whether to risk planting my onion sets.
Woke up to snow here in Enfield too and it's still snowing! So much for sowing the annuals direct today! G x
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/georgie_girl15/Snow.jpg)
Still snowing in Edinburgh. I decided to go back to bed with a book and a cup of tea and I'm still here. I was intending to prepare the cauliflower bed for planting out later this week. Mmmm .. maybe not!!
Lovely blue sky here no sign of snow (sigh of relief) Dog off to kennels tomorrow weather permitting so that I can remove 4 panels of fencing which I am intending to cut down from 5ft to 3 ft. Hope that will help to reduce any future wind damage. Good that I get on well with neighbours (daughter :)).
As Georgie said, snowing in Enfield, kids have made a small snowman iun the garden. ;D ;D ;D
The woods at the back of our garden in Sussex - and it's still snowing :)
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t87/ninnyscrops/DSCF0662.jpg
Glorious sunshine here in Hull, this is the third day like this!!
A bit a snow on the ground this morning but that soon melted,had sunshine then snow then sunshine all day been running in and out of me shed like a bloody cuckoo clock all day,now it's raining. :(
Well our snow had melted by mid-afternoon so I went to the lottie to discover that some brightspark has driven into the gate, distorted the bolt and now the gates are only held by the padlock and chain. So anyone with wirecutters can have a ball. Spent half an hour in the local police station on the way home reporting it.
Monday: hail showers, Max Temp: 6°C (42°F), Min Temp: 0°C (32°F)
yesturday it said it was going to be sunny today. >:(
seems like a day to spend in the heated greenhouse doing odd jobs
Sunny spells. 8) ;D ;D ;D
sunbathing weather, at last ;D
well, nearly
hi jeannine
do you think that you could send us some of that weather so we can do our lottie
today here in Nantes, France, about 7 degrees celsius and overcast, very chilly for April. And looks like drizzle predicted for the weekend too :( dunno when I will get the last spuds in... I guess they can wait another week but the chits are getting a bit too big.
Do you know the Barbara song: "Il pleut sur Nantes....."?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rui_ZnaKF2c&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rui_ZnaKF2c&feature=related)
about the death of her Dad. Cheerful stuff, but I like the song and Nantes!
Sunny 8) ;D ;D ;D
all day it has been cold and wet then when l whent on this site the sun came out hope it stays like that need to get my spuds in
Spoil sport, maybe but, Ken, does this really get us anywhere??
I know what I have here, & I check Metcheck & Accuweather for what I might get.
I see no gain.
Nice sunshine all morning until 2pm when I finished work....then what,you've guessed it,the heavens opened up.
Its hailing at the moment.
:-\ Hubby and I (hubby on fortnights holiday) worked in garden today and lovely and sunny until about 3pm (ish) then all of a sudden it began to get cloudy and suddenly a really cold gust of wind got up and remained and we both became really cold so called it a day..... and then at about 4pm it started to rain and has continued to do so on and off eversince!! Roll on some decent sunny weather.... fed up of all this cold and rain... sunshine in between so short lived!!
Hubby finally installed my automatic vent opener in greenhouse and it works!!! opened in sunshine this morning and closed on cue when it turned colder this afternoon... its magic!!! (you know what they say about little things please little minds.. but its made my day!!) ;D ;D ;D ;D
(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo-rain/0024.gif)
It's typical of what you get with a northwest wind. The air is cold and, having come over the Atlantic, full of moisture. During the day, the land warms up, and heats the air in contact with it. This starts to rise, and as it does so, it cools. Since it starts off warmer than the surrounding air, it always remains a little warmer than the air it's rising though, so it goes on rising. As it cools, it becomes less able to hold water vapour, so it forms clouds, which build up and start dropping rain. The warmer the ground gets, the stronger the heating effect, and the heavier the showers. Then they die out as everything cools off in the evening.
8) 8) 8) Lovely and sunny today. 8) ;D ;D ;D
:) That really interesting Robert_Brenchley. The weather fasinates me and its nice to have the weather systems explained to me.... heres hoping things get a bit sunnier and warmer!!
cornykev think I am going to move to your homeland (London) always seems to be sunny there!!
(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo/0003.gif)
Popped down to do a bit more clearing up, then the heavens opened.......small boy and I got soaked! Waited it to abate........and it didn't, so off early home for us... :(
30 degrees and a bit cloudy today. Very humid but the breeze makes it bearable.
I'm in Manila for the week ;)

Monday afternoon at our land: it rained,i :ot Thundered and lightning, :oit Snowed big hailstone's, :oit laid as well, some were still there Tueday morning,we were flooded out in the greenhouse :o :o :o
Pauline
Not always Aromatic, nice when the sun was out today but chilly when the sun goes in. ;D ;D ;D
cold and more importantly very windy here today, kids played in the back garden n i got a few bits done but otherwise it was too cold n not very promising looking so we didnt make it down the lotty, were on foot so wouldve been ice blocks b4 we got there... hopefully tomorrow pms better! dd hates the wind and weve got an exposed plot... can never get anything done while shes grumbling!! fingers crossed the weekends better....please please please!!!! lou in brum x
When not in the wind, (Small square foot area of my garden) it was warm. Step away from that and the wind was very cool. Stayed at home this morning...pottering... did manage to get to the lottie this afternoon, but wow was it ever windy up there. It was quite painful at times for me ears (Tut!!! I needed a hat really).
From this pic taken from my lottie you can see how rough the sea was today. :o
(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa42/ElleEss_photos/AllotmentApril17th0812.jpg)
No sea but very cold and windy.
;D ;D ;D
... West Essex is just lovely. Sky is blue, sun is shining and I reckon it's about 17-18 temp wise. I've just walked to the gym in my t-shirt, that's how lovely it is (ok, not in just my t-shirt, I might add, heh)
Sam you spoilt it, just your T shirt :o :P very hot and sunny here by the way. ;D ;D ;D
It was very warm in West Yorkshire, I got a bit of a tan. :)
Hot and sunny 8) Saturday and hot and humid Sunday. ;D ;D ;D
Overcast but warm here, Lorna and Josh had sun at Suffolk Wild Life Park. Had a few spots of rain in the last hour.
absolutely lashing down am, drizzly pm, warm though, dried up for the bbq then threw it down again ;D
:-\ In this part of Warwickshire it was dry, overcast and warm am.... then has the day progressed into pm the rain began... stayed warm and muggy but too wet to do anything outside in comfort.... ahhh well perhaps tomorrow will be a better day... got so much to do!!
(http://www.animated-gifs.eu/meteo-rain/0037.gif)
It was wet a lot of yesterday, and it's still drizzling now. The weather forecast today is better though.
Wet and warm,makes me concerned about Blight.
Too early for that. If we get a long period of this sort of weather later, then I'll be worried. It takes a while to get going, then spreads like wildfire. A full Smith period requires two days of this sort of weather, presumably due to the time it takes for the spore to germinate and infect the plant. I never get the disease before we've had a string of Smith periods.
yesterday was horible very windy and occasional rain so you could not do anything. Forcast is for 3 days of nice weather so going to head up in the afternoon and spray my paths with weed killer ;)
Cambourne we're only a short distance apart and we had such different weather!
It was overcast and warm and very still...so still that (outdoor) table tennis was played! We had a brief light rain shower.
Nantes, Southern Brittany
Sunny, about 19 degrees with a bit of a haze. Overnight thunderstorm last night with some rain, just what my newly planted courgettes and pumpkins will like.
The ten day forecast says the warm spell is maintaining so next weekend, bugger it, I am planting the tomatoes, my house is looking like a jungle!!
Its a glorious day here.Unfortunately I have to go to work very shortly :(
Can't complain about the weather over the past 2 days, yesterday overcast/warm only a few spots of rain. Today was glorious
;D In this part of Warwickshire today, the day started out murky and wet... but has the day progressed it began to improve and it turned out to be a glorious afternoon.... Weather forecast is set to be nice the next day or so, so can get loads done.... and what bliss to be able to be out doors in such lovely weather!!

The sun is out and it's glorious in Notts, and I'm working 2 till 10 :(.

Well somebody as to live Wales ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's hot enough to start Namissa, who's from the equator, commenting on how hot it is. She complains about the heat every year.
It is 24 degres celsius here at the other side of the pond it will last till next tuesday they say.
Could do with it a bit cooler for digging. And the bits that were soggy wet at the weekend are noe caked hard. >:( Never satisfied, are we!
Hot Hot Hot 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D ;D
My emerging BB's, which are germinating in pots, were wilting badly under cloches yesterday. Some have had it, but those are the ones that looked weak anyway, so not much loss.
hot & sunny on the east coast 8) 8) ;)
Yes, 24 degrees near Hastings. Was getting ready to brushcut new plot (got 2 already) when council man turned up to mow neighbour's plot with big machine. Asked him to do mine as well, and he did! Offered him a fiver, but he refused, saing he wasn't allowed to take it.
I would have really liked the council to mow my second plot nearby, but never thought to ask. ::)
No chance with first plot, not even a council one.
Earthed up potatoes instead, and mulched them with his cuttings.
27.6c was the highest near gatwick sunny with an occasional breeze.
drank 6 litres......
Scorchio here in Derby, but a bit cloudy and muggy now.....
feelin hot hot hot here in birmingham, we went home at mid day and put the kids little pool up in the garden, they had a great time then i had to fetch kids animals and washing in before the rain started as we had a large sounding mini thunderstorm, if you get my drift? still very muggy tho but a welcome refreshing break :)
We had a massive thunderstorm here last night! the electric went off briefly
the PC restarted itself so I closed it down sharpish and hung out the window enjoying the spectacle! everything fresh this morning but then got hot and humid again
marg
We had five minutes of heavy rain with massive drops, then it drifted off and started thundering over the city centre. It got a bit cooler though.
Glorious here today......same forecast for tomorrow too!
Gatwick 22.2c and only 0930 phew... not feeling very energetic after yesterday.
Better get the bean poles in today
Still hot hot hot. 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D ;D
Glorious day with a gentle breeze blowing. Who can ask for anything more!?
clear and lovely breeze with max of 27.5c Increasing clouds with little temp change forecast ;D
A bit windy in the morning and early afternoon but when I got to the lottie at 2.30 it was scorching. 8) 8) 8) ;D ;D ;D
Well folks, pleased to hear you have all been having warm warm weather but I have been frozen since Sunday. Dull days, cold east wind and the heating has been put back on again.
:'( :'(
Here too Carol!
Was cooler here at Gatwick but got hotter this afternoon with a high of 22.2c BUT
Rain is possible within 12hrs so lets see, may not have to water ;D
About 21 degrees here, but add on the wind chill and it was freezing! Wondering whether to water or not.
Hello
It's cold and raining here in bedfordshire...... >:( .......great for the plants :D
Cheers
Brogusblue
Not very nice now, Summer has finished :o
2.0mm rain 14.9c was the highest :(
Overcast, wind a bit keen but no rain although my daughter was working 5 miles from me and she said it poured for a while.
Blowing a gale and bucketing down :(
So windy,just got back from walking the dogs and at one point had to walk backwards to stay steady. ;D
>:( :( :-\ Blowing a gale (Warwickshire) overcast and flippin cold!! Guess its another day at home!! Blast it all... had so many plans!!! >:(
Very windy but still sunny and dry- glad to be able to go out but deserate for rain for the plot!
So were we Caroline..... but we got it yesterday.pm. Hopefully you will get it tonight, It can rain all it likes in the dark!! Are you down here next weekend??
;D
Swindon is rain rain rain and more rain, and lots of wind too
forecast was terrible for the weekend but sat night had 5mm rain and then a scorching day at Gatwick got loads done fri/sat and a passer by moving out of area popped into plots and asked if anyone wanted a fruit cage as it was a shame to dump it. 6ft high 6ft wide and 24ft long :o
Cost me £40 for netting but its great!
Today is rain rain rain and I got wind too :-X
18.2mm of rain so far today 28mph on the wind too
Southampton today is flooded out god knows what my allotment is like if my road is like this
(http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l58/wrigs_2006/Image050.jpg)
That is bad.Good luck with the plot.
That's terrible - hope it subsides soon.
Just a bit of drizzle down here now however I am going to check my lotties as it hammered down during the night, also going to light my incinerator ;D..." is it a bloke thing?".
Sorry to hear about the flooding, fingers crossed that the lotties are ok.
Cheers
Tony
we've had this easterly wind on and off now for a few weeks, really gale force for the past few days and it is this that has kept the rain away - impossible to water the garden or the plot as it gets blasted all over me instead of the ground ;D
In my part of S.Brum there's flooding too - not only have the drains not been able to cope with the sheer quantity of the wet stuff we've had, but guess that the drain grids themselves are blocked with the leaf debris the winds have brought down - looks like autumn here, cept the leaves are bright green ???
(rant mode ON).....why oh why! aren't ALL dual-controlled driving school cars equipped with a second bloomin steering wheel? The L coming towards me - at the limit of 30mph, while I'd slowed to 20 to avoid the dodgem tree debris hazards - suddenly was right in front of me as he swerved to avoid a twig....instructor (and I) both slammed on our brakes & hey! only minor damage to my front bumper......grrrrrr (rant-mode OFF)
And now the rain has started again......thank the Lord for a freezer still full from last year - no bl**dy way am I getting wet again picking swiss chard from the garden...
I'd agree with the comment about driving school cars; Namissa once had an instructor panic, get out of the car and refuse to go any further with her when she was starting to learn. All very unprofessional, and if he'd been able to take control, quite unnecessary.
It's not so bad at this end of Birmingham, but yours has got a lot worse since they closed the old Moneyhull Hospital and added those extra estates without considering potential flood problems. We had heavy rain all day yesterday, but the stgream through the allotments, which does flood, never rose much at all. It's drizzling a bit now, but I'm off to the plot in a bit anyway.
High north easterly wind and heavy rain here just outside of Bristol!
it rained most of yesterday but cleared up mid afternoon so we put the beans and sweetcorn in knowing it was going to rain agin today but I didn,t expect the fierce wind so now am worried how my babies are coping! not worried enough to go and look I got drenched just replacing a blown over pot
marg
Sunny day here in the Borders but with a strong NEasterlie. We have had this cool east wind for 2 weeks now, getting sick of it.
Can I just say we want rain but we don't want rain like Southampton, thank you! Saddad, doubt we'll make it next weekend as my Dad is probably coming to stay and he's not very mobile. :(
It's horrendous down here. Gale force winds, torrential rain. Thought I had all the mini gh's weighted enough but one of them gone over, probably lost all my plug plants by the looks of it. Not as bad as some places though, hope the flooding goes down soon sunner.
Cats and dogs all day with very high winds. :( :'( ;D ;D ;D
Corny, wake up! WAKE UP!! THE RAIN'S JUST STOPPED!!

Ok, we've got the rain this morning, so thanks for sending it up north, everyone! No doubt I'll soon be pleading for it to stop!
Very overcast,at least the wind has stopped :)
rain but not enough
Not so windy today but wet with drizzle at the moment here in Amber Valley.
Been to my plot earleir to survey the wind damage and apart from some netting torn,nothing else to report.At least my shed and greenhouses are still standing.
If ya want rain then come to Nottingham as not sopped yet. :'(
Could you send a little rain north of the border, we have had none for over 10 days now. I bought a water butt the other day hooked it up to the gutter still waiting to see if it works.
Thanks ;)
Dry and very little breeze on the South Coast in West Sussex, Im tempted to hang up the fork and go fishing.
Cheers

So when is the hubbie getting out of hospital ?
;D ;D ;D - same time as the slug methinks
It appears that high winds and heavy rain has caused a large amount of damage. Mean while in the North East of England the only thing to be blown over

eak
Oh no! Poor chair! Looks like it needs a jet wash, bring it to gatwick and I will clean it for you :D
Hot and sunny here today so hoping the soil is wet enough for digging but not too wet. My only chance to get out there for a while.
Torrential storms have led to flooding across half of Somerset
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7426738.stm
Had a couple of light showers earlier, looked better until an hour ago and hasn't stopped raining since. :'( ;D ;D ;D

It's raining again and the slugs are having their Sports Day!
I was in Ireland last week and they were giving a blight warning already!
Southern France - showers and sunshine.
It's been like this for 2 weeks now!
All the neighbours gardens are either blue (copper sulphate?) or yellow (sulphur?) and the slugs and snails are having a field day
Dull and wet here today. :-\ ;D ;D ;D
Dull however dry down here, managed to get paths strimmed today.
Cheers

Gorgeously hot and sunny - and where am I?? Sat indoors in front of a pc revising - again! d**n Uni - their timing sucks!!! :( :(
Hot with sunny spells. 8) ;D ;D ;D
23.9c today bit humid nr Gatwick
90 degrees in the poly, humid outside :)
The rain started just as I packed up the last batch of exam papers and now it looks like it's on for the duration. :-[ :-[
I'm in for another couple of weeks of exam answers. I'm not sure which is worse; going through the papers, or doing it online!
sunny and still no rain! (east norfolk)
Hot, sunny spells and windy. ;D ;D ;D
warm today rainning at the moment in bristol
.... West Essex ..... is a bit on the wet and windy side! Blimey, could hardly see my hands infront of my face a few minutes ago! We've also had thunder and lightning on and off for the past three hours or so.
Thunder, lightning, flash flooding....not a good gardening day!
more rain thinking about building a pool lol
Unpleasantly cold & damp this morning - nearly turned the central heating back on, but the planet won & I added 2 or 3 extra layers to my normal garb. Then wet & windy all day; frequent very heavy showers with absolutely no notice!
Off to Hampton Court on Wednesday. They forecast wall-to-wall heavy rain (several inches).
But the plot's looking good. (Glad I cut the paths on Friday!)
Non-stop wet stuff down in West Sussex :(
Well it saves having to do the long trek back and forwards to the water trough to water all the newly planted plants. Unfortunately my new water butt is not filling :'( because the one it's joined to sits on a pallet which has now broken making the water outlet from the first butt to the second too low. It leaks out instead. However I still have a lot of work to do like leeks needing transplanting and grass needing cutting etc
I did have some fine weather yesterday afternoon and picked 2KG Raspberries and 800g strawberries and the last of my gooseberries which were huge. But the rest of the day had been busy with getting my son to his clarinet exam and the day before, his piano exam.
Heavy rain for days now,managed to strim last Friday,well ,Jim did.At least it looks tidy but behind on the weeding.
Throwing it down all day in Birmingham.

and here on Salisbury Plain!! ???
Raining non-stop again today, but did some shed maintenance. This was a little awkward as a wren has built a nest in the roof (there are still a few places where small birds can get in). Her chicks were squeaking loudly to be fed, so I had to keep going outside in the rain while she came in to feed them.
You should have been at Hampton Court! (No - you shouldn't!!)
Falling down all day. (It's still falling down now.) Dismal, muddy, depressing. Staff doing running repairs to the marquees as we were walking round; dumper trucks spreading wood chips; all brollies at eye level. We left at 2.00 exhausted & fed up. We just felt sorry for the exhibitors & staff, who are still there!
been raining all day in bournemouth and most of yesterday. i dont think we had this much rain through the whole winter. the last time i saw my plot it was full o weeds. dread to think what it will be like after all this weather ye gads.
All we get is a little drizzle!!
Well, here in the Peak District it was fine this morning, showers this afternoon, now it is just overcast. Can't believe how cold it is for July though! :-\
Nice yesterday but light rain at the moment. :( ;D ;D ;D
Really heavy rain showers all day,so fed up of it :(
Heavy showers this morning, then it improved gradually.
Nice& sunny here- not sure for how long!
Raining heavily for the last 4 days.
Weeding in the rain isnt much fun
sunny, with the occasional cloud, No rain ;)
In Hull it is a bit llike the Sahara, too hot during the day and blooming cold at night XX Jeannine
[attachment=1][attachment=2] went and dipped my toes, and had a ice-cream ;D ;D
North Bucks - School sports day, postponed from last Friday.... quite humid, cloud building up through the day, breezy but very warm. A perfect sports day :)
west yorkshire - been very wet and quite cold, getting to be almost as bad as last year now - worried that the outdoor squash, outdoor toms and corn will not make it this year but considering what i did harvest today it can't be all bad ;D but we need some warmth
i agree!! been to the lotty (birmingham) today, got a soaking on the way up, and watched the clouds roll over soaking us periodically before we gave up, kids thought playing dodgems in the tents they were putting up for the bbq was hilarious, lil horrors, so they enjoyed themselves, but im thinking i need a hot chocolate!!! its far too cold for this time of yr (jeans and jumpers???) maybe were due an indian summer and the corn and toms will get there in the end? elsewise anybody know what to do with unripe corn??? can i feed it to the bunnies n guinea?? its just starting to pop out a flower thingy.... please please please be corn.....

given up believing anything the BBC weathermen say now - always seems to be wrong. Prefer long term forecast as it seems more accurate.

HOT HOT HOT...and thats just me ;) ;D
The weather as been great too ;D
hot and dry but, please, no rain dances ;D
Three successive thunderstorms in about two hours last night. We got two inches or so of rain, and the worst flooding I've seen on the site for several years. It came over the playing fields above us, and across the lane at the top of the site, as well as coming over the bank in all sorts of places. My plot is well waterlogged, but it'll drain in a day or two. Some peoples' were so bad this morning they were more like lakes.
well since 4.30 today in livingston/edinburgh in scotland its been bright sun shine, torrential down poors, bright sunshine, torrential down poors and now its wet, muggy and bright
hot and sunny on the coast. ;)
It's not supposed to rain until this afternoon here in Brum but it's been peeing down for the last couple of hours. Had planned to get into the garden and give it a tidy.At least have time to catch up with stuff on here
Hi Tony, which allotments are you from in East Norfolk? I have just joined the forum today and i am from Great Yarmouth, Lawn Avenue Allotments. :)

hiya, suzyegglet, welcome to the site ;D
Welcome fro me, you will enjoy the best allotment/garden site. Have fun.

Welcome aboard Suzy.
It poured down here this morning, now the sun is out. The best downpour we have had for ages :D
Lottie Show this afternoon , tiny bit of drizzle but not enough to dampen spirits and now lovely steady wet rain!
Raining most of the day in Meriden,like winter again when you look out of the window,very warm temp.
Wet, wet, wet in March. Messed my gardening plans up :'(
Absolutely binned it down. All day..........again. >:(
Rained on and off all day today but now its so dark you would think it was November. Miserable for this time of year, here's hoping for an Indian sumer.
Here's hoping for ANY kind of summer!!!
Wet here too - but the greenhouses took a few cans ;)
wet as a wet thing here in liverpool today,didnt put us off until 4 or so hours of being wet we looked at each other and realised that maybe we were being too valiant!home for lottie veg tea,hot baths and drying off,bliss! R x
I'm hoping it gets here today... although the season is damp the soil isn't very and I want to get my sluggit in today... ;D
We had bucket loads of rain last night and a terrific electrical storm - must have lasted at least an hour. Even the dog got fed up barking at the very noisy thunder. Guess I won't need to water the lottie tonight then. Just dull and overcast at the moment though. ;D ;D
twinkletoes
A wet, blustery day here in Camden - typical March weather. Maybe I should start some seeds off in time for summer...
;D
Same here Amazin and I'm fed up. I wanted to get some autumn veggies planted today but instead I've had to resort to housework. >:(
G x
spent most of the day cooking and freezing the produce.
sunny enough for an ice-cream, windy enough for the east coast surfers[attachment=1]
Yesterday Saturday was a scorcher 8) today misty now spitting of rain. ??? :( ;D ;D ;D
Rain, rain and rainnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. :'( :'( :'( ;D ;D ;D
Absolute welly weather :'(
Scottish Borders is horrendous. Lashing rain and gales. Lots of flood warnings out in the area and just wish it would stop. Not heard of local folk having flood water into their houses yet, but its still raining.
:'(
Been to the lottie in between showers, last night absolutely cat and dogged it down. ;D ;D ;D
non stop down pour here all day in Coalville, basically a repeat of yesterday.
hard to believe that this time last week I was sun bathing on the Isle of Wight in 20+ degrees.

My weather station is going nuts early this morning it was down to 0996 now it is up to 1002 within hours :)
yesterday and today dry at last. yesterday about 30% sunshine today so far about 60% sunshine, oh please bring on an Indian summer i don't think i could cope with the dreariness of winter without at least two solid weeks of sunshine before the dark days come.
oh my g** just as i am finishing typing this the rain has started to fall arrgh >:( its driving me crazy. >:( >:(

The weather in Nottingham was variable today.
It varied between pi** wet through and THOROUGHLY Pi** wet through.
The usual weather prediction sites were as usual, as useful as Mystic Meg on the lottery winning numbers in 1997.
"Someone in Nottingham will be lucky TONIIIIIIIIIIIGHT"
Someone in Nottingham is p**s wet through! How lucky is THAT!
tomorrows weather, gosh i'm giddy with anticipation :o ::) :-\ ;D

In Northern Belgium.........Phew! 26c.
Yesterday was a hot and sunny, I even stripped down to my waist, that caused a stir. :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D
Can't believe it 2 days on the trot of brilliant weather. Guess where I will be when I have drunk my cuppa.
yeah!!! 8) i am so hot and bothered, but so loving it woohoo!! ;D
Still dull dull dull but at least no rain here today but the ground is saturated like everywhere else. Feel sorry for the Farmers. they are all tearing their hair out can't get going with the harvest and most of it willhave to be chopped up and returned to the soil, no use at all. Looks like another wet week ahead again.
:'( :'(
It is 80f in the greenhouse although the breeze has a little bite to it ideal for working Waiting for my
meal from next door then going out again (If my sciatica will let me ;D) Sure makes you feel better on days like this.
Hot and sunny again today, the shirt come off again but its hard to concertrate with all the women in the park drooling through the fence. :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D :-*
Wonderful weekend, weatherwise - even saw sundogs (mock suns) this evening at cricket :)
Hot hot hot :o :P 8) ;D ;D ;D
well, back to grey skies, looks like summer's over.. ;D
dark, raining , miserable morning so far ::).
Brilliant sunshine but freezing cold. Well not literally but it feels that way.
Had some sunshine but now overcast. Spent this morning doing a guys VAT returns but now hope to spend 3/4 hours in the garden.
Nice day so far, cool wind but sun is shining.
Rain rest of week I believe. :'(
It's the first day of Nottingham's Goose fair today so we have got Goose fair weather. :'( :'( :'(

RAIN RAIN RAIN. :( :'( ;D ;D ;D
still raining here in surrey
lbb
rain, rain go away,
come back another day,
thifasmom wants to play,
rain, rain go away :'(.
First thing it was tipping it down, I swear the dog had her legs crossed for 2 hours, she hates going out in the rain. Was glad to see the sun is shining up North for the half marathon
lots of precipitation in the east ;)
Finally just about stopped raining. I guess planting the overwintering onion sets will have to wait til next weekend.
Got lots of cooking done though (it just seemed like that sort of day) so it will be good to get home from work in the evenings and all I have to do is decide what to get out of the freezer and heat up.
Like midsummer in Edinburgh. I've weeded leeks and autumn onions - just starting to show green tips - and planted my Early Wight garlic. Then started to lay a new path along by the fence - cleared the weeds, lowered the level and laid down weed fabric. Cut all the grass paths too. I'm changing the paths by the fence to fabric and woodchips to try and lessen the weeding. Not enough time to fetch barrowloads of woodchips today so that will be a job for next weekend, weather permitting.
The midges were out in force! :o :o :o
it is that grawc, was up the plot this morning putting in my spring cabbage etc (probably the totally wrong time to it lol) got the back garden cleared up a bit.
was going to plant my garlic but didnt get round to it - might do it tomorrow weather depending before i head to work
starting to get a bit chilly now - but after all its october lol
Ick and wet and rubbish. So been tucked up on settee with sore throat and a REALLY irritating cough feeling sorry for myself! :(
Last two days have been lovely and sunny 8) after a cold start. ;D ;D ;D
Started to rain yesterday about mid day and is still wet cold and windy today. :'(
Crappy rain yesterday, :(much better today. 8) ;D ;D ;D
Agree, yesterday was so miserable in Enfield and it was the firework display in the evening in the town park. I must admit I didn't go went to bed early and read my book. Feel sorry for the families that dragged their children around in the rain. Better today, warmer but still wet under foot at the allotment. Hate these dark evenings. Been pretty quiet this year so far firework wise, see what happens on Wednesday night.
ITS been a beautiful sunny autumn day. no wind. just sun.
:D :D

Lovely day here, managed to get to the allotment for the first time in ages and even took m coat off whilst I was there! Now have a huge sack full of weeds to show for it and the plot is looking cared for once again.
Brought home the last of the butternut squash and glad to see the leeks are coming on a treat.
Chilly and overcast. Little or no rain today but ground very wet from yesterday's downpour. Got very muddy as soon as I stepped off my bike.
Grey n drizzling.
grey to start with, but the sun came out about two hours ago, so i'm smiling :D
Grey and icky! Someone pass the light box!
Had a Lowry sky all day :(

right i had to scrap my earlier plans, cause i went to collect some seed bombs to distribute on my walk, and found two panes missing from the greenhouse, the mini greenhouse with all my overwintering cutting blown over and scattered >:( (my fault really as i forgot to weight it down like i usually do). some other minor spills were also discovered. so the walk was scrapped and OH helped me with repairs, etc.
so maybe tomorrow if the weather remains pleasant i could go for my walk ::) :), especially since the garden chores are done for the time being :D.
Dry and windy and did an hour and a half on the lottie after work. ;D ;D ;D
We've had snow. :'(
first snow,
then rain,
now blue skies with some white patchy clouds and bright sunshine breaking through :D, but cold air temps.

Temperature low was -7c this morning at 9a.m. but such a beautiful day. The frost was hanging on everything and needless to say I had my camera out from early morning. The countryside was beautiful. You know I do like winter on days like this, always have,. as long as I am warm.

Snow first thing but all gone now.
Snow!...but thawing quite fast now.
snow snow and more snow its not melting and it has just started again :-\
Overcast, cold and damp, with light rain at times in Dorchester, Dorset. Would rather it was sunny with frost than this weather. The worst kind of winter weather IMO
We have not had snow in north London today, but it has been drizzly and cold. I'd rather have snow!
The first half decent winter we have had for ages, I got a bit fed up with those tee-shirt Decembers we had.
COLD!!! and on my way home from work this evening, rain that felt like needles on my face. Roll on spring!

Hi davyw,
Is that your allotment and are those blue compost bins ?
floss
Cold and frosty first thing, but great 12-4pm so got out and got going, not many out and about though, must be off shopping for the "Fest"... ::)
Really cold and frosty here too but the sun was bright and felt lovely on my back as I was working. The ground was a bit hard, but soon thawed in the sun.
Good frost in Notts this morning.
Central Brittany
Ground frozen solid and very cold first thing. No rain since before 16 December, so the slippy mud is no longer there on the animals' field. Now sunny and bright although still cold - a crisp and lovely day.
Heavy frosts here for the past few days - very good for the heavy clay on the allotment. It's warmer now... and drizzling.
Sub Zero here and trying to snow, but air too dry/cold. Poor visibility (Fog).
Same here Saddad and sub zero temperatures and snow forecast for the next few days. So glad I got the rest of the garlic and my shallots in at the weekend.
Hard frost and very cold.
Only consolation is that the frost makes everything very picturesque
Bit foggy,in Meriden as well
Miserable! Haven't seen any sun or blue sky since Boxing Day. It's grey and minus 4. Only good thing is it's not raining. :(
It's cold, frosty and overcast here in a very bleak Harrow, NW London.
My part of S. Birmingham's still covered with thick hoar frost.....but I reckon 'they' spelled it wrong, cos I've been out all morning and it's still a b*tch out there ;D
Hard frost at 5 this morning in Swindon. Getting foggy now.
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PEACEFUL NEW YEAR
Taurus
Freezing fog and sub-zero temperatures down here on the coast of South East Wales. But pretty to look at! ;D
The sun is out and I'm off to work. :(
Some sunshine at last here. Still cold, but went for a lovely walk on the North Yorks Moors- with a nice pub lunch in the middle. :D
First time that we have been to plot that the ground has been frozen. Didn't stay long just got the bunnies broccoli leaves and parsley.
The sun's popping out to say Hi. No breeze, very chilly......have to boil a pan of water to melt the ice on the pond..............brrrrrr
Cold, windy & dull :(

Star,if you leave a football floating on the pond that will give you a clear space,useful if you keep fish.
I have had enough of picturesque. I would like warm. South Birmingham.
Me too.........I hate the winter.Have lovely winter walks in Meriden but always glad to get back indoors. ::)
Hovering around 0c but not particularly windy here... Lad's Rugby match called off as pitch still frozen. ::)
Just seen this on the met office website - doesn't look good for the south east going back to work:

Don't want to hear that, Gill! ;)
Sunny but freezing here. Just dropped the car at the garage and walked home- took about half an hour and my nose is dropping off!
Just an icing of snow and frosted over that as well......but the sun came out. Boys just got back from a week in Stockholm were cold this morning! Different cold in Sweden...much less damp.
Looks like the digging is going to have to wait! Plenty of other stuff to do anyway.
first day of school and woke up to lovely snowy landscape my daughter was gutted, me to as i had to walk her there with the slippy sliddy pushchair >:(

Swindon, Wilts snow on the ground when I finally got out of bed(about 9.30 am. late night) All gone now 9pm and getting very cold. Last lay in tomorrow back to work on Wed.
One of them mornings when the sky looks full a snow, and cold.
frozen all day, but dry
Minus 4c out there at the moment...
Lovely day here today.
I took advantage of the sunshine and washed all my greenhouse pots (inside), but dried them outside in the sun.
We haven't had any rain here since December 1st :o and no snow either.
-7 C when I drove off to work this morning at 7.45am and coming back home at 6.30pm was already down to -4 C. Lit the fire in the lounge for the second night running. Brrr.
...West Essex, bloody freezing! Think it's about 2 outside. Driving back from Enfield last night it hit -10. Pfft.
Warmest it got yesterday was minus 4! (And that was better than Monday!)
Haven't been outside the house today. Just sitting here listening to the radio & nursing a heavy cold. (One of the penalties of having grandchildren!!)
Sammy what have I told you about asking before coming to Enfield. ;D ;D ;D
Overcast and thawing slowly in Birmingham.
I had to get out this morning to go to medical appointment. Really relieved i didn't have to chisel the ice off the car this morning ;D
No ice - just fog!!
No frost, not as cold but a bit misty. ;D ;D ;D
Don't know, haven't been out today other than to feed the birds ;D ;D Weather forecast said it was going to be 3 out so I guess it's a wee bit nippy. I've had a stew on the cooker since 10am, ready for when OH gets in!
Also worth mentioning (sorry to waffle in the wrong thread) that @ 16.16hrs it's still nice and light here, yay :D
fog/mist in the east.
It was forecast as being zero here at 8am this morning but when we went out to the car, it was -5! Looks beautiful out though, there's been a really heavy frost, almost snow like, and everything is covered :)
same here minus two with very heavy frost cover this morning . the sun has been shining now for at least 2.5 hrs and there is still frost on the trees.
-4 degrees driving to work this morning, still frosty as I look out of the office window and now a mist has descended...........think I'll be going early, don't want to drive back in the dark :o
Linda
Cold and foggy. ;D ;D ;D
Had a lovely day here in Brum. Sunshine at lunchtime makes ya feel on top of the world
The sun has got his hat on hip hip hip hooray
The sun has got his hat on and I'm going out to play
Windy in Tamworth ( the weather not me ) ;D ;D ;D
It is enough to blow you off your feet in South Yorks this morning ..Not as cold as of late ..But you have got to watch for low flying objects on the lottie :)

Started to snow in Notts about 430 this morning just as i was off too work,by about 630 the only thing moving on the roads(well not getting stuck) was the tram i was driving. Just got home and the Sky looks full of it .
Freezing.
Bit a snow in the night,now it cold the wind is getting up with a looks full of it sky.
LOTS of snow!!!! Gloucester has disappeared under a blanket of thick snow. ;D
Heavy snow during the night. Huge snowflakes at about 7 am. It's now turned to rain, sleet and slush.
Swindon, Wiltshire nice and white. Going to work in the 4x4 (smug pregnant dog) that everyone laughed at with its big daisy's. Yes they where on there when we bought it. But who's got the last laugh now. In my job its no work, no pay. ::) ::)
I no i didn't write "pregnant dog". Still snowing here.
Lovely heavy snow about 8am this morning in W. Essex. Lasted about half an hour and now it's all stopped. I think we're forecast more heavy snow this afternoon but I don't think it's for very long.
i used to love snow unti i spent 3 hours last night stuck on the m5 cos of it finally got home but scared me half to death driving on it
Ween loking at e've got it snowing hard aain today. Ok until the kids had got to school but I bet all the teachers, most of whom don't live in the same town, are looking out the window and panicking!
I noticed on the news that the end of the M5 was shut this morning to stop people going on to the A38 where people were stuck in their cars. Hoping like mad the weather is not like this next week as we're travelling down to Plymouth for a Uni course open day. I've been looking at train times but it tells me none are available!!!!!
I think alot of people got stuck at Haldon (Exeter Race Course Area) which is about 5 miles away from me. Some spent the night in their cars :o
We also had thunder and lightning last evening.
So in the last week we've had
Sun, rain, sleet, snow, ice, thunder and lightning and a mini tornado out at sea.
There can't be anything else left to have?
And it's still trying to snow ::)
The deep snow started thawing last evening but for the past 2 hours we have snow falling going from large flakes to small flakes. Road has got a covering again. Grandchildren's schools are closed again.
Not driving today.
But it's pretty!![attachment=2]
Well snow started a few hours ago and were back to just over 4 inches :(
Like your pictures Tim :)
It has been snowing during the night and all morning.
Stopped now. :)
Rain, sleet, and drizzle! yeuk !! ;D ;D
About the same down here in Sussex tonybloke :(
Frost first thing now the Sun is out.
Same here, at least I think there was frost (only just got up). I don't mind the cold, I just hate snow.
A hard frost last night, bright and sunny morning, lovely sunrise here on the coast! ;)
Blue Sky's and sunshine now in Notts nicely melting the snow.
Beautiful day but very crunchy underfoot.
Yesterday, thunder then snow, sleet, rain and sunny periods, none of the snow settled. Today cold and sunny, starting to cloud over now. ;D ;D ;D

Heavy snow yesterday. It's drizzling now, and thawing,but still cold. They've been threatening us with blizzards tonight.
Had another inch of snow overnight but its very light and easily swept away. Looks like more snow but expect its rain because its not so icy.
Raining lightly, snow not going. Off to Bristol in the next hour to do inductions.
Just hope both recruits turn up or its 100+ round trip for nothing. Hoping the promised gales don't start.
I do envy you spanglangled, won't dare go on my clay soil till its dried out a bit. Even covering in Swindon doesn't seem to help because the water tables so
high.
Regards to you all, Taurus
Raining here in northants at the moment.......expecting it to turn to snow later.
Rained all day, I had to go to Holburn today and the train we was waiting for on the way home was 25 mins late because there was too much water coming down the bank at Liverpool street. ??? :-\ :'( >:( ;D ;D ;D
fog first thing, this cleared by 8 am, then drizzle on and off all day ;)
3 inchs of snow and temp of minus 5. 300 fuchsias sitting under two layers of fleece and a layer of news paper and an electric fan heater keeping the greenhouse just above feezing. and this is suppose to last for a few more days. knew i should have taken up another hobbie ::)
NORTHANTS snow again!!! >:( Fed up with this stuff. Came home from work this morning it was icy. Got up at 1 raining til about 8 now horrible white stuff again. Roll on spring perhaps i can get on my lottie then!

Run out of things to do quietly now!
Sunshine, blue sky with a few fluffy clouds, but a cold wind down in West Sussex

Ipswich ...... was frosty this morning but bright and sunny with a lovely blue sky and birds singing. This afternoon was overcast. The stream on our allotments was flowing fast, it had burst its banks on Wednesday and flooded part of our car park but its gone down now.

Hard frost and a sprinkling of snow this morning. Cold during the day, rain and sleet later. At least the snow's gone.
Got off lightly yesterday evening compared to much of North Yorkshire. Had some snow around teatime but it turned to rain and the roads are clear and ice-free this morning and it's sunny but cold. Don't know about you,but I'm pleased to hear that's the last of the snow for now.
In S Birmingham I woke up to see the green green grass of home and the brown brown soil of my plotty 8) 8) Massive thaw overnight. And there's sun in a blue sky.
I am SO excited! It's going to be a good day ;D
well they did predict heavy snowfalls overnight with light rain in the wee early hours of the morning, and thats exactly what we got, which meant slushy roads and pavements on the school run >:(. not much sun expected today so not sure how quickely it will melt away, hopefully it will be gone by the time the night time freezing temps arrive so everything doesn't then turn to ice.
Quite heavy snow in w. essex last night - settled lovely :) Woke up this morning and a lot of it has gone already. Today is just grey and cold.
Just like a Spring day in Notts.
Snowed yesterday evening and had settled at 10.00pm, all gone this morning not even a smigin. ;D ;D ;D
Just got in from work and it's bloody cold -0.5 had to scrap the car before i set off for home.
Blooming icy down here, both the greenhouse doors are iced up and I can't shift them yet ::)

Antwerp Area. Belgium.
Overcast. Miserable. Damp. Temp around 7C.
Yes we had brilliant sunshine and I thought better get out in the garden. Then I realised we were out of milk, cereal, bread and a few other things......looked out the window of local supermarket while paying and it had gone black!!! :'( :'( :'(
Little Bee I noticed you'd had much the same weather so I looked to see where you are...East Anglia too. Even better I can do some genealogy instead of gardening now some of my ancestors came from your town. Is there a mill? some of them were millers!
Hi kea, not a mill near me that i know of,have lived here 18years but originally from Nottingham.
Wish i could help you more :-\
Is it Lound or Hopton On Sea you are referring too....i could ask about?
Originally from Nottingham, and you left :o shame on you. :-X ;D
I left because the weather is glorious here LOL
What a gorgeous morning,the sun is shining,the birds are singing and i've got to go flaming food shopping....yuck!!!! :(
Can't do much in the garden because i burnt my hand last week on the hob,it was healing ok until yesterday when i put on a pair of marigolds and gave the bathroom a good old scrub where my hands sweated resulting in taking the skin of my burn and now back to square one only twice as painful!!!! :'( :'(
food shopping should be fun,NOT!!!! :(
Few clouds but nice n sunny.
Little Bee, Hopton but 18th century!
Yes I hate food shopping it messed up my day yesterday......now I'm told I still missed out getting something!
On the mild side tonight with a few spots a rain.
Just got up to blue Sky's and sunshine.

Dull and cloudy for the most part, but oh how nice not to shut the day out at 5pm. Also the fact that it feels considerably warmer than of late makes me enthusiastic about soooo many things. ;D Just need a few more hours in my day for a week or two.

Beautiful day yesterday contrary to the weather forecast the day before! But no chance of a day at the allotment because of the burglar alarm being fitted. So i thought today i can go it's not sunny but it's dry and fairly warm.....just waiting for the AA because the car won't start...tried jump leads but it seems it's not the battery. Might get there tomorrow after my physio appointment but I won't hold my breath! :'(
very gloomy today but temp not to bad i'm off to the greenhouse.
It was raining here earlier Froglegs, but sunny and bright now... :)
Lovely sunny afternoon. The bees were busy bringing in pollen from the first willow to be in full flower, a hundred yards from the hives. Willow is vital to the early buildup.
warm morning with the sun shine coming through all hazy, lets see if it stays this way or deteriorates.
A beautiful sunny morning down in West Sussex :)
sunny all day and me too unwell to use it to my benefit ah well :(.
Got cloudy a couple of times but stayed fine... :)

Beautiful blue cloudless sky here in sunny Enfield, north London. Warm enough for poor old cat to struggle on to the shed roof to sun bathe. Think we will have to get a chair lift for him soon as he was a stray and slept rough before he moved in here and think he has rheumatism in his back legs, has trouble jumping on the bed. This week is the first time he has been out apart from quick toilet duties. Planting seeds in my Argos walk in greenhouse which is OK for £30, against the wall in my small back yard will hopefully do the job of bringing seedlings on. Zip it up and night and unzip in the morning. Would be up the allotment but on granddaughter duty today, and granddaughter hates the allotment, use it as a punishment if she is naughty. Shame but what can one do.
warm and sunny blue skies about 15 degrees in south wales sweat peas are up yesterday three weeks not bad spinach is also up and the beets are comming through one by one .
weather is much better thankyou mother nature ;D ;D ;D once again for putting a smile on my face shame im in work and cant enjoy apart from look outside ??? ??? ???

well i stayed outside for just about 2 hrs but came in for lunch at about 12.30 as its bl**dy freezing out there :'(. its gone all grey and overcast, strong winds were forecasted but they haven't materialised its just cloudy and very cold, i actually think the winds would have helped in the moving of said clouds, because when the sun did break through it was nice and warm.
Was lovely until about 1/2 an hour ago... now cold,grey and cloudy... so come in.. :(
Here in the East Mids its a good to be alive day, beautiful :)

Very chilly and grey this morning. A bit of frost protection needed tonight I think.
As it was a nice sunny if a bit windy morning thought I'd have an hour or two in the garden before i go to work, the hailstones just put a stop to that. :'(

very heavy fog with low temp this morning so i stayed in the greenhouse. the sun came out 14.00 and the afternoon ended on a warm sunny note so i worked outside after lunch.
Overcast all day, potting up in the greenhouse and listening to BBC Radio South spouting on about the lovely sunshine ::)

Sure enough, the sun blazed out in the afternoon in Essex where I spent most of the day and was still shining when I got back to North London this evening. Had to go and water things under cloches and in cold frame this evening - nearly dried out.
Beautiful sunny day here, but unfortunately had a bad headache. Hope tomorrow will be as good, and early night, and off to do some more digging, and maybe watering.
cold but lovely sun at the moment, off soon to walk the dog then off for a work party at the plot, ;D

well I've been away since last Saturday and the weather in SE London was great so was able to do what i love and got lots of gardening jobs done for a friend of mine who's very pregnant. returned yesterday to find my tray of young cabbages and brussel sprouts dead because the OH only opened and close the greenhouse and didn't think to water anything even though the weather was equally hot and dry ::) >:(. so will be resowing and watering lots today.
the weather today so far is continuing to be sunny but light rains are forecasted for later and tomorrow, will see is they materialised.

Went to wilkos and bought some seeds, netting,fleece etc - still feels like a wasted day though with both of us off was hoping to get on with the digging.

Much needed rain here too... :)
North West Leicestershire - heavy constant rain ong-going since I got up @ 4 am. I don't need any more rain 'cos all the water butts are full to overflowing & the lawn is saturated to the point of squelching when I walk on it.

Danish Islands
It's been sunny, dry and warm for 5 weeks continuously. This April was the driest April on record in Denmark, and I used up the last of my 1500 litres of water in butts yesterday........................and today it has started to rain!
Watering from the tap is expensive here. The water supplier is a private company, but the sewage is dealt with by the public authorities, whose charges are based on the water company's supply meter. It costs 150% more to get rid of the water than it does to buy it!
sun, sun, sun, surrey!

dry and overcast today
Here in the Limousin, France, it has been raining on and off (mostly on) in varying
degrees since Friday evening. Today it is hissing down with quite strong gusts of wind, about an hour ago I had to go and add more weight to the skirt of the pollytunnel as it threatened to take flight. Weather forecast showing Thursday - Saturday as fine but back to thunderstorms and rain on Sunday for a week. ::)
here in surrey its 14 degrees and raining

Dull and drizzly. :( ;D ;D ;D
Cold and cloudy here, but everything is growing very strongly.
Limousin Lass , do think that we here in UK are getting your weather a week or two
after you ? My daughter who lives in Italy shows the same trend in weather, she is in Perugia
more north of Italy, are you on the same hemosphere ?
Interesting weather trend as we are [ UK ] more North than I would like to think we are , ???

After a couple of days of temps in the low 30 degrees yesterday morning was still hot but very, very humid. Intermittent showers most of the afternoon and a lot of thunder, really started raining in earnest about 7.00pm and is still raining now. Still quite warm and humid (22 degrees at 10pm last night and 18 degrees this morning 7 am).
Flossy, we are quite a bit further north than your daughter, the Limousin is regarded as one of the wetter regions of France and at 500 metres above sea level we do tend to get some extremes in weather.
Big thunder storm in solihull area at the moment :)Heavy rain :(
Was such a lovely day yesterday.I miss the gentle rain,we only seem to get really heavy downpours these days and they can do damage :(

Hot and sunny with the odd cloud passing over. Rained in Dorking 15 miles away, hailed in Ockley 12 miles away but not a drop here. We are between the Surrey and Sussex hills and either the rains passes us over or it sticks for ages!
There was a major thunderstorm somewhere over south Birmingham today, but not a drop on my site.
Beautiful rain coming down this afternoon just right for the weekend when it warms up, :)

The rain just about always goes round us, this year we've had very little. Missed the flooding in East Anglia the other day...well fairly happy about that!
Very windy. Very Warm. A bit of light rain just started, I think the rain is on its way. We are in a rain shadow. Think it is either the lakes or the runway.
Where are you Digeroo ?, Lakes, sounds lovely ! ;D
Very windy here, warm though -- runner beans ' unwinding ' themselves,

QuoteLakes, sounds lovely
The areaa south east of Cirencester has been subject to huge amounts of gravel extraction. The gravel was dumped here during the ice age and now it is being used to built roads and concrete buildings. There is a huge area which are now lakes. They keep the thames flowiing.
They seen to affect our weather on a micoclimate basis.
We also have two lakes to NE and S of our allotments, both are nature reserves.
Coming onto mid summers day and still wearing a fleece

Warm with sunny spells 8) for the last three days. ;D ;D ;D
I think the monsoon arrived. I was just going to get out of bed and go and do a little bit of watering at the allotment and suddenly the skies opened up. Must have had half an inch of rain in just a few minutes.
Seedlings all watered. Went back to bed. No effort - brill. ;D ;D

Wont rain here in Wakering, but that's not unusual ::)
But Wimbledon has now got a roof, so it probably won't rain. How much money did that cost, but at least Cliff Richard won't sing.
Mind you the roof has been useful, closing it partly so the toffs don't get the sun in their eyes. 8) Twats. ;D ;D ;D
sea mist all morning yesterday, then sunshine for the afternoon. Another dull start today, still no water from the sky!! ;)
A lovely Sunny 8) start here this morning, hot and close yesterday with a 20 min downpour about 2o clock. ;D ;D ;D

Very close here today. Had to run for home this afternoon cos it started to thunder and I don't do thunder. Got done what needed to be done.Ower Tone lifted a pallet up today that I have been storing the straw on and found a hedgehog underneath. We took it to a chap on the site who had made one of them insect towers out of palletts and had put a hedgehog house underneath but had never had a hedgehog in even though he had been putting food in. We said that he must call it Lottie the same as Betty at Wallsall Rds ferrel kitten.

Overcast, hot, humid, thoroughly unpleasant. We had bits of rain but nothing major.
Too hot again.
Had a brief lottie visit yesterday to water and pick but it was unbearably hot I don't think I'll go today it's even hotter.
A nice cool constant 21 C but that's in my airconed office!

Still more on the way me thinks. ;)
At last! Steady rain here for the last hour. My washing's getting wet but I don't care!
My son is going to a wedding tomorrow- they will be so fed up if it's wet after all this lovely weather.Have to admit that I'm a bit fed up too as I've spentthe last two weeks working all day and in the theatre nearly every night so have missed the sunshine. Hopefully it will return!

About 6pm last night we had a thunder Storm and it rained that much we had floods :o Grey but warm in Notts today.
Started off OK but had steady rain for most of the day, and the thunder is rolling in the background as I type. ;D ;D ;D
Yes rain here in not so sunny Enfield. Just popped up to the allotment between the rain and picked some runner beans. If the rain keeps coming should have enough to give away, have a list of people who want 'my beans'. Always pick them young and they are not too stringy. Must save some for myself to freeze. At least I don't have to water today, and we certainly did need some rain, may it continue, but not for ever.
Did the big bang frighten you Borlotti. :o ;D ;D ;D
Peeing down here so we got some housework done Yuk!!!.

Two inches of much needed rain early in the week, has given way to more sun and warmth. Plants are loving it.
We were promised heavy rain yesterday. It is desparately needed. Apart from a few odd showers we have only had two lots of rain since I stated my alloment in March.
We only got such a very little amount last night. Been out in the garden to look, it did not get more than an inch down, certainly nowhere near the roots, dry as a bone down there.
A little while ago the sky was full of cloud now it is a gorgeous sunny morning.
I'm only a few miles from you Digeroo in Swindon and we must be getting your share here its done nothing but rain. It was raining when I left work at 6ish last night and still chucking down at 10.30 when I went to bed. The suns shinning brightly at the moment ;D ;D
We are in some kind of rain shadow. Not sure if it is caused by runway of RAF Fairford or the lakes of the waterpark. It often rains in Swindon, Cirencester and Burford and not here.
Often go to Swindon and Evesham and you can almost paint a line on the road where the rain stops.
We had drizzle last night and a couple of heavier bursts, but not more than 1/4 inch in total.
If you have my share please could you give it back. ;D ;D ;D
Warm with sunny spells, after night and early morning rain. ;D ;D ;D
I think we got your share not long ago, Digeroo, when we had the worst flood since I don't know when. You can have it if you'll replace all the damaged crops.
We certainly had our share last year. Loads of houses around here were flooded.
It must be very upsetting to see all your hard work washed away or just rot into a sticky mess.
My plot is on a slope so half ok, but I am told that the rest fills up in the winter. Everyone turned down the plot because it was under water. When I started digging it in March this part was very squelchy indeed. I shall not be putting any winter veg down in that area.
Absolutely teeming down now in our part of West Sussex!
Linda
Lovely weather in south Birmingham.
So its very raised beds for you digeroo.
Just stopped raining in Swindon, sun peeping through at moment but can see more clouds in the distance. Probably won't get any better till I'm in work Fri/sat.
Then the sun shines fit to burst. ::) ::)
Our plots are the same Digeroo. The top ones a just a little bit higher and don't suffer the same. I've put raised beds on the ones that get water logged and this seems to have done the trick. ;D ;D
Pouring here too :( >:( just as Iwas about to go to allotment. I got all my allotment stuff together, boots on, car loaded up. Dont you just hate it when you are ready to go and the heavens open up!!

Very dark down our way, just had flash of lightning and a crack of thunder!
Gazebos were packed away an hour ago!

Sunny Enfield is not too sunny tonight, lots and lots of lovely rain, which we need, my beans will grow well tonight. Shame about granddaughters sports day tomorrow and picnic lunch but might be sunny by then. ;D ;D

So all that bru ha ha yesterday about rain and still not enough to go down more than 4 inches into the soil, where it is still bone dry.
Supposed to be raining now, but the met office radar shows it miles away and the sun is coming out.
Oh no they have just changed it to heavy showers. More rain forecast for this afternoon, coming in from WNW so we should hopefully finally get some real rain.
It did rain heavily last night, and overnight... more pormised for today... I feel a carrot sowing session coming on... ;D
The sun is out in Notts.
hell of a lightening / thunder storm last night!!about 27mm of rain.
sunny and bright now, after another shower of rain 8)
Had about 20mm of rain ;D
Thunder, lightening, hail.......I'm guessing that it will have wet the top 2mm of soil at the allotment...the soil is now hydrophobic.
Don't think the rain has stopped since about 4a.m. here. Daughter was driving over the Pennines today so was relieved when I heard she'd got to Chester safe and sound.
Thunder/lightening and heavy rain last night, with sunny spells and light showers today. ;D ;D ;D

We had that yesterday... fine here so far, come in for a coffee, trying to rain. Managed to lift 50+ onions to dry and refilled beds with some lettuce plants. Cleaned out the deep carrot bed for another sowing. Brought in some peas to dry as they are not going to out there... :)
Just been driven in by thunder, lightening, hailstones (looked like snow on the alleys) and torrential rain... :o
Lovely and sunny in Scotland just now, a bit breezy, though!

It's started off a lovely morning here, will it last, :-\ I hope so because we've off to Paradise Park soon. ;D ;D ;D
Listening to the weather experts and I do use that term loosely that this is the third year they have got the weather wrong for the summer because its peeing down again, in my view it also kicks the global warmer argument into touch it might be happening in other places but it ain't happening here, ;D
yesterday was great until 3pm, got loads done..now, back to rain, just looked at the weather forecast, supposed to be 15 DEGREES, doesn't it know it's AUGUST 1st , where has the hottest summer gone to , going to have to close one end of the poly or the tomatoes are not going to ripen ???
:( :( Raining in Swindon ( no surprise there) Putting in 4 more raised beds on Sunday to give my plants a chance. Its that or supply them with water wings. ;D ;D
Raining here too.

Quite a nice day here in Brum. Got to the plot at 11am. Enlarged the wire frame around the sprouts now that they have reached the top. Took some of the bottom leaves off. (might even have some to pick in acouple of weeks) Wilkies seeds).Put a highwire frame up around the PSB ready for its spurt of growth, quickly weeded the carrots under the enviromesh and got the cover back on em.Had one of ower Tones taters from last year growing up right in the middle of em.. Picked some blueberries, Raspberries and blackberries. Beans and tomatoes. Nearly forgot. Spread the bonemeal all over the onion bed ready for all that lovely rain tomorrow.

I think it is raining and was going to play tennis, outdoors. Oh well back to blanching runner beans and cooking soup. Think we miss most of the rain in Enfield, but if we get the heavy rain and thunder storms it will mean I don't have to water my pumpkin, again, again. The runner beans will love it. It has stopped now, but is still very dark, here in not so sunny Enfield.
Well the bag lady got her wishes, its raining with a few thunderstorms, I reckon she did a rain dance, dancing round her bags in the back garden. ??? :'( ;D ;D ;D
Not sure I like being a bag lady, I will hit you with my stick, but have been called an old bag a few times but don't really care, and going a bit deaf, can't hear the insults. Yes it is still raining, luckily daughter and grand daughter should be home from camping today near Corfe Castle in Dorset. Anyone here know what the weather for like there last week.???
Rained here on and off from three pm... :-X
Dug over a bit of ground, threw in some carrots seeds and it rained right on cue. And Rained and rained and rained,
kids enjoyed there paddling pool fun for hours after lunch, then it got cloudy about 17.30 but stayed very warm, sticky and lubbly. the lovely cool wind started to blow about 18.30 and the heavens opened about 20.00 hope it falls hard enough to take me off of watering duty tomorrow. its suppose to stay wet till 13.00 ish tomorrow, so we'll see.

Sounds like a pop group not the weather.
My puppy has had her legs crossed for a while. But I said come on girl you can only get wet once. So we headed for the fields and guess what, a bolt of lighning hit in the field. Boy the thunder was loud. Poor old Winnie ran all the way home. Didn't even stop to weee.
A beautiful day here in Enfield, washed all the net curtains, and a beautiful drying day, now just off to the lovely allotment to see what has grown in the night, could do with a few more courgettes. ;D ;D ;D ;D Perhaps not. That reminds me of an Armenian joke, hope I haven't told this before, but a servant girl was going to marry a rich man, and on a sunny day said what a beautiful washing/drying day, and obviously the engagement was off, as she shouldn't have known that, if she was rich and not a servant. My Armenian friend and me laugh at that when we were are work and I said I wish I was at home because I could get all my washing dry, and she said that shows you don't have servants. Ha ha.
She's bloody crackers, must be the Sun. :P :P :P
But it was a lovely Sunny Day, 8) a good day for the carnival, voted second only to Rio three years running. ??? :o ;D ;D ;D
Beautiful day, after the heavy rain on Thursday at least the weeds came out easily.
Another lovely Sunny day 8) in Sunny 8) Enfield. ;D ;D ;D
generally a sunny day with some cloud cover, temperatures weren't overbearing, perfect for working in the garden.
Dull and dreary today. ;D ;D ;D

Yep! I was on the plot and digging a trench to bury broad bean roots nearly did me in!!
I just leave the roots where they are, and cut the stems down.
a cool start to the day, went out with the kids, got home with everyone baking hot and wilting, thank goodness i filled the paddling pool yesterday, the kids dived in to cool off :D.
it remained beautifully hot till sundown.
Yesterday I sat in searing heat on the north circular for 3 hours, today the washing's in and I plan to go plotward ...and of course it looks very overcast and feels like rain. ::)
Raining here on and off... :(

Got very hot playing tennis this morning, so had coffee and a good chat. Walked home, then went to the allotment and sat under a tree and guess what chatted. Lit a bonfire, did some watering, and chatted to more people. Came home as it was getting dark. Certainly was a beatiful sunny hot day here in sunny Enfield.

Not too sunny today in Enfield. A bit cold today, and I was the only person at the allotment lunchtime. No Joe Swift, TV must be over, he needs to do some weeding.

Looks like the runners didn't like that cold last night, looking very sad as are the last of the tomatoes.

"Crisp' would be the best word to describe the conditions here. The sun is shining, but there is a definite chill in the air; so much so that I stripped the outdoor toms of their fruit & brought it indoors to ripen. I think I'll be fleecing the chillies & spuds tonight too. :(

Lovely day down here, even had a BBQ at my brother's and sat in the garden to eat it :)

Today in Surrey, the sky is a grey colour, there is wet stuff falling out the sky and there are people outside that have these sicks that they are using to hold small shelters over their heads.

Beautiful day here in Essex. Warm and sunny. Cheered me up no end. I need sun. ;D ;D
Here in BC Canada.
Sunny and comfortable.. not the 85f we were having for a long time.
The mountain view from my window changes daily.. right now some of the trees are turning orange, some are yellow whilst the conifers are still green of course.
We look outside every day and take in the differences, we have christened it
"our mountain", sometimes the clouds are in low and we watch as the morning progresses and the rise gradually uncovering the rest of the scene.
Dark now, but earlier there was a brilliant orange and red sky above the top.
XX Jeannine
Sunny but cloudy in Notts
Chilly round the old willy today. ;D ;D ;D
4C overnight, so a chilly start but lovely and sunny, a beautiful Autumn day.
Jayb lucky you, here in London it's been chilly and overcast all day!
Felt a bit cold today in not so sunny Enfield, especially as our heating has broken down, and I want a bath and wash my hair but the water is so cold. Think the tank in the loft is overflowing and the ceiling doesn't look too good. Luckily OH is a plumber so should be OK, I hope. Sitting typing in a fleece, coat and scarf.
We've been down to Enfield today, couldn't believe how cold it was compared to the balmy Midlands! It was nice to get back home to the sun!
Nice and Sunny 8) now, its nice and warm when it stays out, can't believe you never popped in Small. ;D ;D ;D
A lovely bright sunny start to the day- that was the high point.
Gloomy and overcast all afternoon with the wind picking up quite a bit. I've even shut the greenhouse and polytunnel doors tonight!
rain -dull -windy oh yea its horrid :D
Cold and gloomy. ;D ;D ;D
WET! But we need it!
Played 3 sets of tennis with the OAP's and warmed up, heating now works and cat on my lap and have put the thick duvet on the bed, stew in oven so am a happy bunny. Had a second break in at the tennis club, but they cut themselves whilst smashing the double glazing glass, so might have a result, as the police came. Now have cameras, alarms etc. etc. They had the cheek to get the first aid kit out but hopefully have left evidence, hope they had a bad cut, but mustn't be nasty to the poor criminals. >:( >:(
Quite a cold wind and overcast but still waiting for the rain that is badly needed.
nice this morning but persisting down now , just made pea and ham soup, chicken noodle soup and a great big pan of stew, gonna open the pickled red cabbage ;D
Miserable and dreich here. I haven't been over the doorstep today. However I've started another batch of plum wine, sowed more sweet peas, and done some cooking: potato gratin, chicken with chillies stirfry and carbonnade de boeuf. All quite comforting stuff!
bright, but very windy and cold on the east coast
Overcast with a couple of showers today, down in Sussex.

It was a lovely afternoon yesterday and I was stuck in a meeting. Now it is drizzling. I do not think that people should organise meetings on nice sunny afternoons. ;D ;D
Though the drive over the cotswolds and down into the Vale of Evesham with the blue sky and the brilliant colours of the beech trees was glorious.
Wet and windy down in West Sussex!

There must have been a geological shift last night as I am sure we have moved northwards. Stair rods and blowing a hooley here. I had to pack up work this morning.
Weather forecast said a nice afternoon. Just been tipping it down.
A couple of bright spells, but raining on and off most of the day with a fair bit of wind thrown in for good measure. ;D ;D ;D
Cornwal is damp with the occasional sharp shower and very windy. Wish it would dry up, my strawberry plants have arrived and I need to get em in!!

Apparently we had a mini-tornado in Derby at dinner time, I didn't see it but it was mentioned on the national (Radio 2) news... :o
Also made the Radio 4 news !! David.
apparently it's been a good day for drying the washing today. :)
Dry and mild today. ;D ;D ;D
What was going on in Derby? The two tornadoes we've had in Birmingham since I've been here (one of them the worst ever recorded in Britain) were during severe thunderstorms.
This morning SUNSHINE between clouds yay :) oops turned around and its looking very dark almost black :(, hope its moving away :)
Amazing how quickly it can all change in the day
Metoffice forecast light snow for us this morning... no signs yet of it :( it's just foggy and damp instead...
Apparently it was snowing on the Woodhead pass early this morning and also in the High peak, :)
bright and sunny start to the day, bit windy, but dry so far ;)
Dull in Notts
Dark here.
Bloody good frost in Notts this morning me bird bath is still frozen :o
Freezing cold in Staffs although the sun is shining. 8)
same here in Hartlepool- had to be careful on the black ice when walking round the sea front this morning in the sparkly sunshine.
dark skys in preston, dry, temp 2.9c frost last night -3c
Cold and frosty here this morning, warmed up a bit when the sun came out, getting cold again now. ;D ;D ;D
Damp, dull, cold start in Notts
Warmer today, was cold last night playing a floodlight tennis match, outdoors from 7 pm till 9 pm. Soon warmed up with my woolly hat and one glove and we won 3 sets out of 4. Not bad for an 'old biddy'. Must be mad, but no-one else wanted to play, I wonder why?
Cold, dull and a little bit breezy here too in S. Wales. Looking brighter towards the south west over the sea :)
Never mind the 'old biddy', not bad for anyone, can't understand no one wanting to play!
Holy moly, it's raining so hard here at the moment (W. Essex) that I'm thinking I might be floating home - in my office! :o
Here in Canada near Vancouver we had sun all day yesterday and the sun which is just coming up as I type seems to bringing another clear day. Prior to yesterday we had rain for 5 days but still not cold enough to put the central heating on yet and am still having my patio doors open most of the time.
XX Jeannine
Dry and mild most of the day with a few showers, until of course when I went to pick up the little un from school and it pissed down, the roads are flooded it rained that hard, is it me or did old fashioned rain go straight down the drain and not flood the roads and pavements. :-\ :-\ :-\ ??? ??? ??? ;D ;D ;D
yes it did, Kev.!! (but there are now twice, or maybe thrice, the number of houses hooked up to the same number of drains/sewers as there were then)
Went down to the allotment for a forage. The wind was whipping across and it was freeeeezing cold. Grabbed a bucket full of goodies and when home to thaw out.
A lovely calm sunny day today after the morning frost.
Ninny
Cold at 6
Colder at 7
Colder still at 8
Yellow thing came out and warmed up and was quite pleasent the rest of the day
I even grabbed a couple of pints before I went home.
;D ;D ;D
cold but dry here all day. ;)
Well it changed, at about 3pm into a dull overcast day, then the rain started at 5.30pm and it's still descending (must empty the rain gauge!).
Ninny
No suprises today, wind rain, oh well always tomorrow :)
It's weeing it down here ;D
Best bit, not quite as windy today ::)
I can sit in the garden between 5 and 5.30 and its mild as can be, a Robin singing
away , all is still , all is quite, then it turns ------ cold and /or wet and /or windy
soon after ---- well worth getting up early for !
I've turned the rain gauge upside down, it's too depressing to watch it fill up nearly every day :(
Ninny
Damp start to the day but the sky is clear so hopefully no rain today in Notts.

Just went out the back door & almost landed on my behind... It's literally freezing! I'm glad I'm not venturing out until lunchtime tomorrow, the car is already frozen solid. ::)
Dawn has broken but somebody's pinched the rest of Sussex! Can only just see across the road it's that foggy.
Nearly went over this morning on the school run! Very frosty here in Staffs! Also v misty. Too cold for garden and day off so am going to start my new book and chillax!
another btight start, still no frost here!! ;)
Cold and misty this morning, didn't warm up until after 12 and was cold again by 3o clock. :( ;D ;D ;D

Bulgaria.
Snow lying, about an inch so far and still coming, temperature not quite in the minus's yet but getting colder every day. This time last week it was 15 degrees!
Think we may be in for a white Christmas again.
Have the wood burner lit, a hot coffee beside me and plenty of locally produced Rakia (a type of brandy) if all else fails to warm me up.
It's bootiful here in sunny Staffs, my new solar security light for my front door and an early Christmas present of solar fairy lights arrived this morning. Woohoo, so dead chuffed about the weather. 'Let there be light'
Just got to persuade my 5yr old granddaughter that going to the allotment is the best thing to do today, (unlikely!!)
The weather and lights have made my day anyroad, who needs to dig?! ???
Raining in Notts.
Snowing here in W. Essex. Yay!!
Still raining in Notts. :(
well, we actually had a frost this morning!!, a slight drizzle this afternoon, though.
yay!! we got a little bit of snow, didn't settle though!
Loads of snow in my part of edinburgh. Just back from walking the dog and wet up to my knees! Don't know how long it's here for but it ain't half pretty!
pictures, pictures, please? ;)

A few snow sowers here in the last two days, nothing to write home about though, the bloody wind was biting cold today, its the first time my scart has had an outing for a long while. :o ;D ;D ;D
A 5 minute snow shower here this pm.
Snow is due here at 6 pm, do you think the weather men are panicking, will tell you later, but I am not going out tonight. Went to the lovely allotment but didn't stay long as it was so so cold. Only one person there, feeding the chickens, and compost being delivered on 22nd, if it is this cold they can keep it.
It's snowing!
Think you had better change your shoes and put your slippers on. ;D ;D ;D
I know-cold toes!! Got my lovely wellies at the ready-I've got to go and pick up girls from school disco at 6.30-don't mind the snow but the wind is unbelievable-it's that kind of wind that steals your breath!

Had some hail/snow this pm... were able to take the toddlers out snowballing... some were not happy about it at all! ::)
It snowed quite heavily for about twenty minutes then the sun came out with a blue sky.So cold though.

Hopefully there will be enough to make a real snowman tomorrow..... :)
That's why early years is cool-you can really enjoy the moment with the children and just pack up and go outside-can't do that in secondary!! ;D
Snowing on and off all day in Notts, the wind as got up now and it feels too cold to snow now though.....I hope.
Well its 7 o clock and no snow, the wind was icey cold today. :'(
My oldest daughters school is closed tomorrow because of the weather warning, nothing to do with the fact that its the last day and their probably going out on the piss tonight, lazy buggers get enough holiday as it is. :-X ;D ;D ;D :P
The snow has fell and settled. :o ;D ;D ;D
What school is closed, please,stop daughter doing the walk.
Wakefield - a bit of snow pm, and it has settled
Yikes, thank goodness they finished my double glazing today! Lots of the white stuff out there now. ::)
G x
wigan, a smattering and now it's freezing up :)
Yup it's snowing here now. If it sticks I'm going to pop up the lottie in the morning - nice views and a few pics to be taken ;D
we have family travelling up from brighton, tomorrow, anyone know what the motorways are like?
It's quite windy down in Horsham at the moment Manics, there are a few flakes in the wind as I type but nothing on the ground. Our daughter has just left the office in East Grinstead and she say's it has settled there. She comes home via the M23 so I'll get an update when she's home.
Try and get them to take more of a westerly route if you can, as most of the forecasts are saying the majority of the snow will be on the eastern side overnight.
Ninny
PS - A safe journey for your family
thanks, ninny, luckily they're quite sensible, just it's the first journey up with the little 'un, in a hired car..still, everything crossed, don't mind if they get snowed in here ;D
Daugher's home and the M23 was clear, but it's just started to settle here a little further west of the motorway. I think most will be overnight.
Keep us posted on their journey Manics.
Linda
Someone has put the heating off outside.
Bit nippy here but the sun is trying to poke it's nose out. No snow but slippery on the roads, (we don't do grit here)
Not that I am worried, the Yeti in pink knickers went off early. I've just got up ;)
Couple of inches of snow here in West Sussex - see photo

they're on their way, been travelling for 3.5 hours, they couldn't dig the hire car out of the snow so have picked up another car and set off about 12.30, I'm waiting for an update :)
Tamar Valley
Brass monkeys, but brilliantly sunny.
Thick snow in Southend. Took 1/2hr to walk to work this morning and nearly an hour to walk home as pavements are now treacherous. The roads are as bad yet there is still the occasional idiot who drives too close to the car in front :o
woke up to a reasonable covering of snow this morning in Hartlepool, but being on the coast we don't get it too bad. The waves were huge though, coming right over and covering the pier- never seen it so ferocious. Someone has just started letting off fireworks -very picturesque from my bedroom window.
The OH's going up to Hartlepool tomorrow with the kids train permitting, the main roads are clear hear but the side roads are going to be very icey in the morning as I have a 6 o clock start for work. :'( :'( :'( ;D ;D ;D
Now freezing on top of slush, roads are evil. A daughter has gone on a works do on a boat up and down the Thames :o ::), can't believe they haven't cancelled. Sending Himself to the station to collect her, I HATE the snow, and driving in it.
This was my grandaughter this morning in Harpenden.

Lovely photo Squash. We have had another covering of snow during the night, bitterly cold. Young Lorna's car wouldn't start so she has had to ring Grandson's Dad and he has just arrived to take her the 20 miles to work. It did the same thing last year when we had freezing weather.I will suggest she covers the engine or as she has to go to work up until Christmas Eve I will offer her the use of my garage. My old N reg Mondeo banger ALWAYS starts. Maybe Grandson (mechanic) can suggest something, annoying part is that probably in an hour her car will start
7-45am in Gloucester Car was reading -9 !!! :o
Sunny but Cold now 2c
Anyone Know what the Weather is in Brum Market area ???

Driving snow in Coatbridge [just outside Glasgow] started about an hour ago.
Bob
Cold start, the Sun warmed it up a bit, but very cold now. ;D ;D ;D
Minor heatwave here. Its just gone above freezing. Will go and see if I can prize some veg out of the ground. Had been keeping a few things for Xmas. Looks as if they will be frozen stiff instead.
Yay!! 4 inches of snow this morning!!
hard frost overnight, and another dusting of snow on top of the last lot
Frost last night now cold but sunny in Notts
More snow last night and this morning in the Yorkshire Dales :D I am happy at present, but if we cannot get out to get food shopping by Weds pm, I will be worrying ::)
:)
Cloudy And Cold About 1c
Hard Frost this morning Little dusting of snow over night
Freezing. I did have a look at the allotment, but as expected, everything was frozen solid. No way I'd get a fork into the ground anywhere.
ihis morning 4 inches of snow in one houre!! havoc on the M6
JTW
Havoc everywhere. Daughter, consultant in a Woolwich hospital, just phoned to say sudden blizzard with thunder and lightening had brought traffic to instant and prolongued halt, no buses, so she is faced with stamping through South London in the snow for an hour or more to collect children from nursery. She sometimes envies patients, tucked up warmly in their beds.
Here in East Sussex rains have ground to a halt indefinitely. Yet it is not that cold! Another daughter in Germany reports temperatures of minus 20 C. And don't mention the Channel Tunnel.
Yep - bit of chaos in SE London. It rained abit - then it froze and then an inch or two of snow on top.
Went to the offy for some wine and it was an ice rink - roads that were fine this morning are a nightmare now. I went for a cycle this morning - dont think I would do so now..
Lots of icey side roads, rained today and washed away some ice, but its been snowing for the last hour or so and has settled. :'( :'( :'(
Only rain today but now it's freezing and the road outside is a skating rink again.
I'm sure I can remember them gritting the footpaths as well as the roads when I was a child. They didn't even grit the road here even though it's a bus route, just diverted the buses back to the main road!
Ninny (who nearly became a cropper today!)
Sunny start with a few showers and not as cold as it as been of late, mind you its gone a bit black over Bills mothers
Sunny at moment. Hailstones yesterday afternoon and torrential rain.
Windy and sunny here at the moment.

Thought we were going to get away with rain but it keeps snowing on and off.
Sorry about your Guests G.
Cold n raining in Notts
Weather here is sh**e but very pretty! ;)
Well its supposed to be a sunny day down here in Portsmouth but I will wait and see, it hammered down last night!!
It's still dark!!!!!
The cats were dry when they came in after a brief foray, so its not raining.
Today its rained all day, snow's all gone .......yippee!!!
Maybe your friends got to visit you after all G ;)
Hiya, Star, hope all's well with you and yours ;D
wind's whistling around, so cold!!!most of the snow's gone but around the plot and on the bowling green you could go skating on :o
16:10 here and still not dark, blowing a gale
Cold and wet all day, if yours friends can't come G, I'm at a loose end if you've already got the food and drink in. Also available for ,barmitzers weddings and christenings. ;D ;D ;D

No, sadly the Wellingborough Three didn't make it but there were still eleven of us and the gannets ate the lot! ;D

Bloody typical. :( :'( ;D ;D ;D :P
:) very frosty and sunny/ shades x
heavy snow again... another covering and a lorry has jacknifed on a nearby hill...
Never did I think i'd become bored of snow... ::)
I am sick to death of the stuff. Instead of rain, it is now snow. Wouldn't be so bad if some melts but with the low temperatures the height of the snow just gets higher. Be floods once the weather comes in from the West and it turns milder. moan over. I am going stir crazy though.
Frosty start now snowing in Notts
hard frost, biting north-easterley wind, and a bit of snow early on. but, defrosted now!! ;)
:) snow and cold / shades x
We been very lucky so far, just a tiny dusting of snow, otherwise clear and frosty by night and beautiful sunny days.
snow snow and more snow getting well fed up of it now :-\
Very cold n frosty morning,but the sun is shining so I'm off for me walk.
another dusting of snow here ;)
Heavy frost overnight.Bright sunshine this morning. :)
Lovely blue skies with Sunshine. 8) ;D ;D ;D
no change... snow... and possible severe weather forecast later this week, with snow levels unseen for over 40 years...
we got bright sunshine, but still got snow on the ground
minus 9 degrees here. Hope it does not get too much colder.
SNOW
Not snowing yet... but getting ominously darker.. :o
set in heavily here :-\ ;D
mixed feelings ;D
4" of snow in retford and they just closed sons school
Lots of snow here-beautiful, but unfortunately I had to go to work so not so happy. Got there at 10 and was sent home at 1.Seems to be stopping now,just hope it's not tooicy tomorrow. Youngest is happy- school is closed. I suggested AS revision but she thought sledging was a better idea. :D
Cold and frosty with clear skys, awaiting the snow. ;D ;D ;D
Frost first thing, followed by a bit of rain, a little sunshine, then a sprinkle of snow and next a little more sunshine ;D
same here as cornykev ;)
:) lots of snow, garden looks magical, going out to take photos ;D ;D ;D/ shades x
150 schools closed in Notts...by the way it's snowing.
Not much here...
One hour and 45 minutes, three burly blokes, one octogenarian and a selection of shovels to dig/push the car out onto a gritted road (about 50m from my front door). Unimpressed. As for the neighbour who stood on her front doorstep for the duration, f*g in hand, observing the proceedings... :-X
There has been some overnight thawing. This equates to - most of the trees being free of snow if they are in a sunny spot but all walking/driving surfaces being slippier than before. Aargh!
Blanket of snow here in W. Essex. Obviously very heavy in the early hours but now slowing down a bit. I believe it's forecast to get heavier again later today :)
the rest of the country seem to have all of our snow!! ;D
Do you want it back Tone. ;D ;D ;D
yes please kev, we ain't got enuff for a snow-ball fight!! ;D ;D ;D
d'ya want some of ours, tonybloke? ;D

they had a thumping big tractor with a snow shovel on, plus a couple of lads outside clearing and salting paths for people ;D
I heard that in some parts, they're going to have probationers? helping clear up :)
Snow, snow and more snow! The children at the nursey had an absolute blast-making snowmen and eating the snow! What a shame half the parents didn't think to send them in appropriate clothing! Half of them had no gloves, most no wellies (we keep a stock though) and one even hd no coat. ::)
Looking at the forecast i think 'tonybloke' might be getting his wish (Snow for Norfolk today). Just goes to prove the old saying doesnt it? ;)
Here in Dorchester its a nice sunny day, clear skies, very cold but quite pleasant if you wrap up nice and warm. -7.5c last night, and not much higher at 9am this morning.
If you find yourself complaining about the cold be thankful you aren't in New York:
"Fulton, NY . It's snowed for nine straight days there.A There are more than 4-feet of snow on the ground.A It started snowing on December 28th and it's snowed every day since."

But you DID get your snow!!! ;D

Know that feeling. Dont like them but have switched as many lights to energy saver bulbs to help cut the electric bill a bit.
No snow yet. Been a nice clear sunny day. Very cold still.
Snowing again here lightly... ::)
Just starting again
No snow here, been a cold crisp and sunny day, beautiful :)
Another cold and crisp day, wind from the North sea is Biting, and expecting up to force 8 / 9 in next 24hrs. Oh well, chuck some more wood on the wood-burner!! ;D ;D ;D
No snow but bloody cold. ;D ;D ;D
Only a tiny flurry of snow today, thankfully, but these have started to appear along the gutters.

Slight breeze and cold here in Swindon, Wilts.
slow thaw here in Hartlepool- 4deg but feels much colder in the wind.
unbelievable thaw here today... went to bed this morning ::) snow and ice thick on the ground.... woke up to rain... waterbutts overflowing as the snow and ice melts .... its raining now and the snow has gone!
flooding next folks :-\ / shades x
Still getting a bit of snow here... but it's not settling. Just above zero here so could freeze again tonight... :-X
Lawns mainly green today but we've had the odd snow flurry still...and it's a tropical 3 C!
Just driven back from Enfield and it's snowing - not much to write home about. It's been a bit on and off today; five minutes of heavy snow, ten minutes of nothing much etc. Not enough to settle and cause anyone to panic shop or be evacuated ::)
Here in Adelaide we have had 42c for the last two days!!!
It was 29c overnight!
AND our air con is not working :'(
Guy is coming to fix it tomorrow (Tuesday)

It's a hard life if you don't weaken Cefer.... ;D

Mine have plummeted to the top of the garage roof too. A very still day without any wind or snow, milk bottles arrived but still no post or bin collection for a while.

Poppy Mole - went into work today and the A272 was clear through to Petworth, Fox Hill was a doddle except for the horsebox that we followed all the way to Billingshurst! We work by Hampers Common btw.
Melting, melting, melting, boooooo!!!
It can't decide whether to rain or snow. Really slippy underfoot.[attachment=1][attachment=2]
Same here today-bit sleety this morning. Sleet,(like the wasp) has no place in my world. Either rain or snow. Be a bee or a fly. Don't sit on the fence. :)
Cold here but it is melting, I hope theres no more on the way. ??? ;D ;D ;D
Very slight thaw - my mother used to have a saying after this length of time, that it was waiting for more to join it.
More snow is certainly promised here. I still have about a foot on my sheds!
Snowed all day. :'( :'( :'( ;D ;D ;D
Really icy underfoot this morning after yesterday's rain froze overnight- glad I was driving rather than walking! A little flurry of snow this evening.
woke up to another 3 or 4 inches, schools closed again :-\
No snow, dry and sunny in Plymouth. ;D
Snowed over night in London - a few inches maybe.
Had to get to work in a rush as we have pupils taking exams and managed to fall of me bike on the ice. Oouchy!

Rain on and off all day (raining again now).
We have twin nieces with birthdays today and, as the post is so hit and miss at the moment, we decided to deliver cards and pressies ourselves. One lives on a road that was flooded so had to take a long detour and the other lives in another village where the roads were so potholed after the snow it was a nightmare driving to her.
Ninny

It came out beautiful for a short spell this afternoon. Had a lovely hour at the lottie bathed in sunshine. My allotment is fairly well sheltered from the cold north wind.
I had to take my little brass monkey to the welders ;)
;D ;D. Blizzard here for the dog walk, but now just cold and windy. Snow clouds heading for kent now.
It is a lovely bright sunny morning and I have been standing and enjoying the garden. Its lovely and warm. Thank goodness for the central heating and the double glazing. Not looking forward to the gas bill.
Still like Spring weather here,it has been the same all thru, we had a terrible heat wave in the summer, then quite suddenly that stopped and we seem to go to Spring,missed winter I think.We have not had the central heating on since we moved in..hope it works when we need it.
They are getting snow on the high mountains where they need it for the Olympics in a few days but apart from a wee but in the distance on a lower mountain that we can see there is nothing where we are.
XX Jeannine

Rained all day again and I had a funeral to go to. :'( ;D ;D ;D
Rained here too, lots of black clouds that made us put the office lights on in the middle of the day!
Funerals on rainy days seem even sadder somehow, sorry to hear that Kev.

Snow has been falling for hours now..........again :(

Gutted, planned to go to the allotment this morning :(

snowing heavily and a whiteout for me :-( I was supposed to be driving down south today... not sure I will be now... roads around me are closing...
Still snowing heavily, but our radio station reckons it will cleat by this afternoon as we are going to get some sun?????
Sky is full of cloud and there is no wind to shift it so i cant see how the sun is going to get through, better go the allotment and cleay my cabbages and chuck some fleece over them.
where are you woody?
It would help if people put a rough location (perhaps county if they don't want to be too specific!) in their comment if its not in their profile...

Devon is about 8 degrees, blue skies a little cloud. :)

Looks pretty bleak here in South East Essex. Just made arrangements to go over plot, filled the flasks and now down comes the rain. :'( Glad it isn't snow as this is extra frustrating. Feel for all of you that have so much snow this year. Still spring is round the corner but I am not sure which corner ;D
Quite heavy snow here in the Fens again this morning. Had more in the past week, hope this lot goes away quickly (I will send it to Sam Louise!!)
Had plans to put the competition spuds in this A M lot off snow overnight here in wigan lanc's stopped when we got up next door we think he has problems came out to brush his car down not because he is going out just because he does then it snowed heavily again and now 10am it has thinned out again i'm expecting brush boy to pop out again any time now

Halfofmanic. Chap opposite sweeps his new block paving every time it snows. He swept 4 times one day although he hasn't been out this morning yet maybe he has given up lol
Snow in Notts.
Dry here in Bristol at the moment sun trying to break through the dark clouds :-\ We were forcast snow but none at the moment. Want to get down the lottie to wood chip the paths so hoping it stays dry :o
Blue skies and sunshine in Edinburgh. The temperature has soared from -8 at 7a.m. to -1 now!

Frosty grey morning in Notts.
More rain this morning, with a temp of 6 degrees. (East coast Norfolk)
snow has arrived here in st albans and its settling
something we could really do without
After a lovely sunny day yesterday we are currently having a blizzard. Settling on the grass but luckily road looks ok becuase I have to go out.
Snowing in West Essex, although it had slowed quite a bit now. My sister works up the road at Stansted Airport and said it was like a blizzard there at 9.30-10am but not quite so heavy now.
Snow again today but it's melting now.....kicking myself for pruning the hedge on Saturday!
Rain all morning
Followed by snow showers
Followed by more rain
Followed by more snow
With icey winds blowing.

Overcast and cold in Birmingham. The remaining snow has been melting, but very slowly.
Rain in Devon all day mostly. ::)
Cold with the odd flurry of snow. I'm bored with cold weather.
Cold and dry for most of the day
Then two o clock came and so did the snow/sleet
:'( :'( :'(
Snow started about 4pm in wigan ( I know where the h**l is wigan ... between Manchester & Liverpool ) 24th feb 2010 forcast said snowyish ??? early hours
anyway it stopped soon after so maybe it will start again due to wind the snow or some of it was going sideways looked weird
It started an hour or two before that here, but it seems to have stopped now. Otherwise it's just cold and overcast. Metcheck have examined the entrails of another sheep, and now say it's going to warm up from tomorrow. The auguries keep changing though; the way they're going, the next sacrifice won't even have a liver.
Still snowing in Melton Mowbray and looks like its here for the night.
It would be just my luck to wake up tomorrow when we have to travel 90 miles north for a meeting to not be able to get off the drive lmao
;D ;D ;D @ Robert
rain sleet snow more rain,now cold and misty ???
More rain, even the squirrels are wearing wellies ::)

Same here, rain, sleet, snow and more rain. But no wellied squirrels!
Arrived at lottie and the sun came out and it soon got to a scorching 10 degrees. Unfortunately it then tipped it down.
:) the weather last night was terrible.. snow, rain etc ,
today... marvellous! no hats,gloves or scarfs needed ( or coats for that matter :o) / shades x
It's been a lot milder here, almost like March weather. I managed to plant oca, Chinese artichokes and tuberous peas, so that's a start.
Snow, snow, snow till about 2pm then fog.
:'( :'(
fog this morning and wet all day. a light dusting of snow last night but melted by lunch
Grey all day in Devon and when I wanted to try to rearranging stuff in the garden and put some seedlings in the mini greenhouse it started to rain. So thats for tomorrow if possible.
On the good side my radishes have germinated in the garden ;D
Well today in South East Essex started off promising. :) About 12 I went over the cemetery- mum's anniversary- and it was still pleasant. Ground over there like a paddy field :( Grave diggers were in trouble trying to prepare a grave. By the time I got home around1.30 it was persisting again. Surely we won't be threatened with standpipes this year even if it doesn't rain between May and September! ???
Mild and drizzly in Birmingham.
Wet, wet, wet. On the drive back home from the office, most of the roadside farmer's ditches are swollen and running from one side of the A272 to the other. Just grateful there's no freeze forecast.
Feel for all those up country with the snow!
Ninny
Here in Devon, sunny, few clouds, kitchen thermometer even managed to get to 14 degrees :o
Windy here in Enfield, north London. Have been checking that my lovely Argos plastic greenhouse doesn't blow away. :( :(
Windy she says, windy, its that windy its blown the bristles off my face. :o :'( ;D ;D ;D
Put your Longjohns on!!
Several degrees above freezing in Birmingham, but windy enough not to feel that way.
Lovely picture Tim.
Really windy and cold here too, but yummy sunshine too for much of the day :)
A little breezy but lovely to see a bit of sun at last :D
Ninny
Devon..warm, some sun, mostly cloudy, a little rain, forecast was for heavy rain.....
Slow dull start to the day which cheered up beautifully at lunchtime when the sun shone through.
very wet all day in Wakefield. West Yorks
edinburgh - wet, windy - not a day for the garden - only time i was out was to chase the cats off the onions and garlic (cant let dog out - white and curly haired - oh would kill me)
livingston - snow, snow and more snow - nearly 6inch over night -- cleared the paths for parents when out visiting - supposed to go down to -8'c tonight - so will be out with the grit before heading for work at 7 tomorrow morning
Rain, rain and more rain. The sun did come out for half hour yesterday ( I dashed out to clear up dog mess!!). Still raining this morning with forecast for more heavy rain.
Stopped raining here in Castleford, West Yorks. So may get chance to up to the lottie.
Hissing down here, it's been doing it all night I think. Time to think about an ark ;D
Devon, grey, small amount of sun earlier and a small amount of rain earlier, otherwise just the usual grey. :-\
Bedfordshire is very grey and the garden very wet,just in from the the greenhouse..
Bit of a grey day with a little sunshine.
Today the yellow ball in the sky has managed to surface :). Chilly start but the prospects are reasonable after yesterday's little downpour :P. Hope to do something on the plots today although I imagine it will be pretty wet. JB :o
Frosty start here too... had to scrape both cars off. Looks promising though... :)
The sun has got his hat on, hip-hip-hip-hooray........
Frosty first thing and sunny all day. ;D
Early light frost, then it happened, it was like something out of a Spielberg film, it came from out of the skies, a big yellow blazing ball of fire, will it be the end of mankind, tune in for further updates. :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D
nice and bright, could do with a bit more rain.
People were asking "What's that thing up in the sky?". Lovely day here, really enjoyed time in the garden Turned quite cold when I did afternoon school run. Hope it keeps up.
Not a day to be in the office :'(

Harder frost than yesterday, sunny morning, clouded over now. :)
Frosty cold morning but lovely when the old current bun came out. 8) ;D ;D ;D
Another beautiful day after the heavy frost cleared.
We had a beautiful day here in North Norfolk.
I woke up to grey sky with frost on the ground and within an hour the sun was shining and carried on for the whole day and by the time i got out to the garden it was still mild enough to only have a thin jumper on.
It was a perfect day for the allotment but alas i had no transport to get there, hoping for a similar day tomorrow because my plans involve some hard labour LOL
Colder, dry, cloudy with the cold winds picking up later. ;D ;D ;D
No frost, but really felt cold in the wind.
Beautiful yesterday, cloudy and cold all day today.
hard frost early this morning, then a bright sunny day here in east norfolk.
another beautiful day in north norfolk too, thats 3 days in a row!
Absolutely beautiful here inYorkshire today. I was sooo tempted to stop at the park on my way to work this morning but thought I'd probably make myself late so had to resist!Going out for a quick walk now before the sun goes down.
No frost, but cold in the morning developed into a nice sunny day. Next 3 mornings are forecast frosty though >:(
Sunny spells, but still cold with the winds picking up again in the afternoon. ;D ;D ;D
Another beautiful but cold day just caught a cracking picture of some beautiful pink clouds!
weather today in Denmark! Don't want to know for a veg. gardener! Minus temps. Snow on the plot, and underneath earth like iron. When will it ever thaw? I daren't even begin to get poatoes sprouting. Deep snow, deep depression!
Cheer me up someone!
Frosty morning with the Sun shining now. 8) ;D ;D ;D
another lovely day, just awaiting the childrens nap time then off up the lotty
Frosty with some sun earlier, all gone grey and windy now :(
Absolutely beautiful here. Would have been a great day for the plot but went for a walk at Fountains Abbey instead! :D
Had days of frosty overnight with beautiful sunny days :) :) :). This morning no frost and no sun :(

Sunshine here but a very cold wind
Ninny
Bit cool today with drizzle. XX Jeannine
Lovely Sunny 8) Spring day. ;D ;D ;D
Cracker of a day here in Essex.
I second that Emaggie :) .Very productive day today. Plenty of green wood preservative being splashed about and some digging of the topsoil pile that we have unearthed- previous plot holder scooped it off two of our plots and piled it on the third to save having to weed, hence we are a little bereft of top soil on two plots and inundated on the third. Not so easy to shift it by hand but we are trying. Hoping for another good day tomorrow ;D
The old currant bun got a proper airing today. 8) 8) 8)

Beautiful, we took a ride and saw blossoms on many of the trees, folks out in shirt sleeves doing garden cleanup.
XX Jeannine
After a good drying out week on the lotty we had in LE13 overnight one inch of rain which stopped at 0600 outside is a little bit grey but the outlook is a sunny sunday, :)
Pouring since yesterday afternoon- just when I was all fired up togo to my newly downsized plot. >:( Maybe tomorrow.
Grey, bit breezy but not too cold here in west Essex. Not been out but got the kitchen window open and it doesn't feel too bad ;D
Its been drizzling all day, :'( I'm off to the pub so it should be dry in there, ;) and hopefully its dry tomorrow for the lottie. ;D ;D ;D
RAINY,
I have to work on things inside again.
I long for days when I can get out on the patch to get on with the growing.

'DITTO'
Sunny and warm XX Jeannine
It has been wet wet wet for a couple of days, but just now, the clouds have finally broken to let a little sun shine through, lovely.
Sounds good, can only wish 'sunny and warm' here ;D
Raining from teatime yesterday and all day today (boo). Forecast no rain for tomorrow so can get down the lottie and do some general stuff. Will be far too wet for moving our last few raised beds though, which is annoying. ;D
Dry all day, bees flying and collecting pollen from crocus ;)
Still quite mild, but persistent rain.
To sunny outside to stink in bed will be on the lotty for 0800, :)
Two days of drizzly rain
But now the Sun 8) is out and I will be hitting the lottie trail soon.
;D ;D ;D
Wall to wall sun shine and the soil is nice and moist. Just perfect for the weeds to grow. Unfortunately cannot get to lottie today but been in the garden for a couple of hours already.
After all the rain yesterday a dry start this morning but it don't look promising.
It's beenabeautiful day here- what a contrast with yesterday! Picked up daughter fromSheffield uni and went into the Peak District.It was like midsummer the amount of traffic. Ended up in Castleton for a short walk, then home and a couple of hours on the plot.
Lovely sunshine all day here too :)
Ninny
Rain, lots of..
Just like cricket,
Rain stopped play.
Still got a few things done before it fell.
Sunshine until 1.30
Cold winds
Then drizzle after4.00
Loooks like winter out there now.
:'( ;D ;D ;D
Still no heating, OK with a jumper, fleece and coat, indoors. Can't wait to go to bed under the duck filled quilt. ;D ;D ;D. OH said go up the allotment and dig, it will warm you up, he will be 'dead meat' soon.
Isn't he a plumber Borlotti. ??? :-\ :-X ;D ;D ;D
I hope you get it up and running soon. Our boiler started leaking and shorted out the electrics not long ago. The only way I could get things up and running again as to isolate the heating altogether. So I know where you're coming from!
I had to replace one of the boilers at church in the worst of the cold weather as well, but at least we have two so we could just move things around and stay warm.
Dull damp morning in Notts
It started off mild but it's been raining steadily since 1.30pm. :'( ;D ;D ;D
Damp, drizzly and cold today XX Jeannine
Heavy rain this morning followed by sunshine followed by heavy rain now. Son informs me they've had all that and now snow in Plymouth 8)
The OH got another plumber in (gas Corgi registered) and now it is too hot. Had to turn the new boiler off. Just walked across the carpet, in bare feet, like you do, and it is soaking wet, so we have a leak. I think he will be 'dead meat' when he gets home. I give up. Raining outside and indoors, at least it is not coming through the ceiling YET.
Borlotti whats that drip I can see. :-X :-*
By the way and been cold, wet and very windy this afternoon.
:'( :'( :'(
thick fog first thing, then rain late morning which as been steady and heavy all afternoon- just easing off now.
Rain cleared up in the afternoon. ;D
Yeah, itdid here- but now it's started again! >:( And it's the same in Bologna where we're going for our holiday next week- but at least it's warmer there!
And now we have blue sky! yipee!!
My ponds are overflowing with the rain and my lemon tree said "bring me back in,Mum, please!" So I did.
This morning at 5.45pm was one of the worst mornings that I have ever walked to work in.
The rain was driving down and the winds were severe, I couldn't put the brolly up properly because I would have lost it.
The wind had dropped and the rain eased off by about 7.30
The rain lasted until about 11.0
Then the afternoon brightened up but still a bit windy, but the road and pavements were dry, what a contrast from this morning when the world looked like it was about to end. ??? ??? ???
It was trying to snow earlier, but it's calmed down now.
very wet and windy this morning early on, then dry and bright, and cold again tonight!!
raining off and on for most of the day but dry tonight- got manure coming tomorrow so hoping for no more wet stuff!
Same as many, cold, very wet and windy. Not a nice day.
Cold n raining in Notts
Well it was sunny in Devon this morning, but now it's clouded over ::)
Chilly and wet in Birmingham.
Yes!! It is raining again ;D >:( :o ::)..and if there is hosepipe ban this summer...somebody is going to say more than just few chosen words... >:(
..if there is greater power somewhere, could we please get couple of weeks reasonably good weather so we can get something done at the lottie... :-*
dry and bright 'til about 4 pm, then it started raining
Sunny but black clouds on the horizon in Notts
Warm but grey, raining on n off.
Astonishing weather today in East Sussex, considering we were promised Heavy Rain, Hail, Wind all day. Moved outside seedlings indoors as they are nearly drowned by the rain of the last few days.
Sun streamed down almost all day! If I hadn't wrenched my back yesterday replacing dead broad bean plants, would have been out there for hours. As it was, tried to lie down for a bit, reading about establishing an olive grove in South of France.
West Sussex about the same, loaded up car with stuff for the spring show at 8am as the sky looked so stormy over in the west and it turned out a lovely day.
Raining now though ::)
Linda
birmingham has been terrible,well for me atleast
any gap between work and having my daughter equals wet mud
really need things to dry out and for some sunshine to appear
Swindon, wilts. Weather couldn't make its mind up. Rain and sun alternating all day. Plots really boggy so staying off. No longer doing 2 jobs so if the weather improves its me for the plot later in the week. ( its clay so no point in compacting it). Hope your all having a nice Easter dispite the weather.
Lovely day here in Essex, would have put my spuds in but I babysat my grandchildren instead. I'd much rather watch them grow any day ;D ;D
Chucking it down in Notts at the moment.
Sunny and windy at the moment. ;D ;D ;D
Nice and sunny if a tad windy in Notts too.
Good Morning Y'All
Today I have two weather systems, each occupying half the window. To the left and towards Dartmoor, heavy low dark grey cloud, and it's probably chucking it down there. To my right and towards Rame Head and Looe, brilliant blue sky, light fluffy clouds, idyllic. I hope the right side wins cos I have a lot to do outside today. Have a Good Easter Sunday everyone.
Caro
Looe?? lovely place, lived there for a while, and still got friends living there!
very sunny but with a cold wind here in Gavin and Stacey land(Barry,Vale of Glamorgan.)
Lousy day again cold and wet but looking at the forecast from tomorrow and right through to the 13th it is dry and sunny, so they say, :)
lovely day today, warm enough to do my first inspection of my bees :D
fantastic here today :)
managed to get my potatoes in and prepare an onion bed
also sewn some more sweetcorn,and re-potted my broccoli and geraniums
strawberries recieved some blood,fish and bone and some old manure and compost

Damp and overcast here today, so it looks like I have to work inside for the most.
I will if the weather breaks try to get out and do some more when I can.
Sunny, but not too hot, a few clouds here in Devon.
a lovely day in Hartlepool- warm sunshine and no wind- a tiny shower came over mid-day but moved on quickly.
Gwynnethmary lucky you as it's been a grey day here with some drizzle now and again!
Lovely Sunny day yesterday but cold and miserable today with a few scattered showers. ;D ;D ;D

Overcast and cool.
Plenty of rain yesterday woot. ;D
Just a few drops of rain here last night, a bit of everything today. (well nearly)
Yesterday started with heavy rain showers, which got lighter as the day progressed and by late afternoon the sun was shinning.
So far today, patchy blue skies......
It's raining here, pleased I didn't bother to water the allotment. Not forecast too good for tomorrow either, but do I care. ;D ;D ;D
The sky is as black as ya hat and cold with it in Notts.
It aint stopped raining here since yesterday evening. ;D ;D ;D
Pouring here too ~ I will have to do indoor chores :(
Started raining here in Leeds about an hour ago
Now we have hale stone!
Sunny/cloudy here in south Devon, chilly wind with it, have the fire on again.
Retford, bitterly cold wind and very heavy showers, and ive got to get in the river idle to collect 2500 rubber ducks for the lions duck race :o
Poor you, it is cold here to, heating on.
10 degrees, but with a biting cold north-easterly wind coming off of the North Sea
Just had a small hail shower in Sarf London - nothing too much but a bit of a concern as I have started my planting out! I am never going on hols in May again ::)
lots of everything..hail, showers, sun shine, cold, wind.... ::)
I have managed to put up my bean poles today over the bean trench. This has been despite a howling north east (or maybe north west, never did get the hang of left and right ;D ) gale, a hail storm for which I would have recommended a hard hat/bump cat or similar protection, and two very sharp and heavy showers. Why do I think we are back in March!
So weird - we've got manic gusts of wind here too (Vancouver Island, BC). Kept me awake half the night. Grrrr!!
Sunshine, showers, wind, rain, sunshine, hail, wind, rain, sunshine, wind, hail......
Make your stupid mind up weather :-\
Bought loads of plants for my new flower bed at the allotment, planted this evening.
;D
Sunshine, downpour, sunshine, downpour.

northerly light winds, mizzle for most of day, moderate to good visibility!! ;)
Is this still March!
T-Shirt, blouse, jumper and coat weather! ::)
Ninny
When finished night shift this morning went for a lovely 10-mile cycle in cold but sunny weather.
When got up to come to work tonight found it had spent most of the day chucking it down!!!
Better be good weather tomorrow, I'm due to mow the lawn and dig out more border.
CC
Yesterday, a bit cold with a mix of cloud, rain, hail and a little sunshine.
Today, not sure yet, depends which window I look out of :)
It hailed on me yet again today. I'm so fed up with being cold. Even digging didn't warm me up. :(
Beautiful sunny day until about 4, then rain, and -2 forecast for tonight.
21c here in Western Canada, been like this all week but we have light rain forecast for Sunday..XXJeannine
Arrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Raining again when finished night shift. Couldn't go cycling nor do any gardening so ended up doing the chores-of-last-resort i.e. housework. Finally went to bed approx 1300 hours. When got up at this evening for work found the sun shining and fine weather.
It hates me!! I know it hates me! It just does!!!
CC
Still hot, we are sunburned XX Jeannine
21c sounds lovely Jeannine :)
Here, mostly sunny yesterday
Today rain again and none too warm ::)
I wanted some rain...but pea-size hail is a bit too much ??? We NEED proper rain!! Not just drips and draps... ::) Oh well...watering can job tonight...
Tamar Valley, glorious, about 18-19 degrees, brilliant sunshine cloudless sky. But don't be jealous. There will be days when the rest of the country has 25 degrees, and we will not be able to see a hand in front of our face in mist and rain. I'm enjoying it while I may!
Regards, Caro
mostly sunshine all day, with a 5 minute shower of rain

Lovely warm sunny day yesterday :)
Today overcast and drizzling
Typical Tamar Valley mizzle, thick mist, fine drizzle,an indoor day.
Not a cloud in sight for most of the day, a scorcher. 8) ;D ;D ;D
Hot, hot, hot here. Just off to the lovely allotment to do some watering this evening. Can't do much as hurt my shoulder digging so hence on the lovely computer.
Screaming HOT here 8) 8) 8)

'Hope your shoulder gets better soon Borlotti :)
26.8 degrees here... too hot!!!
Please, I wanna some rain...
lovely sunny and warm in helston cornwall ;D
Hot as hades, so hot I saw a camel pass across the garden followed by a fig tree. But the dancing girls where the best.
Dundee, Scotland:
Yesterday - hot, cloudless sky, 30 degrees
Today - downpours, hot, cloudy and clear skies, varying between 13 and 24.5 degrees.
The thermometer just hit 36 degrees out on the decking! I have taken refuge in a large cool drink and a good book under a brolly. Thank goodness all watering done at lottie early this a.m.
Regards
Caro - Tamar Valley
Very hot and Sunny 8) for the past four days, clouding over and cooler today with the wind picking up, warmer as the afternoon went on. ;D ;D ;D
A lovely day today at the allotment, not too hot. Got a lot done, and a lot of chat, have made two new friends. Yesterday was too hot but today chopped the mares/horse tail, I have even given them names as I will beat it. Did some watering and all in all a very pleasant day.
Bottoms,.... just been chased in by the rain here in Swindon, but after raining quite a lot tonight it should pass early tomorrow morning 9between 4 and 7 apparently) so with my agreed late start at work tomorrow I should get everything I need to do outside done then (plant tall peas on wigwam around palm tree, plant out last of the crimson broadies next to the ones that went in yesterday)... the rest is indoor stuff (rejig autowatering to be saner than olast time cos I loeft it running all day yesterday and although it was exactly what the bed needed to get it started I need to set up the timer for the weekend as it takes too long to water the polytunnel by hand now..... Need to repot some peppers and various other bits and bobs but can do that under shelter apart form the trips to the van to get the soil/compost mix I picked up this morning early (28 quid a tonne at Crappers in Wooton Basset if you shovel iot yourself, as is topsoil and as is compost itself..... they weigh you in and out and charge the difference.... except they've got a tare weight for me logged now and it's erroneously high :D so my first 150 kilos or so is free.....
chrisc
We had the very occasional drip falling from the sky, but that was all. The sluicegates of heaven seem to have rusted up solid round here.
still raining in bristol :D
Raining this evening,wonderful ;D
It rained this morning in lancaster , not enough but its a start.
I'm off to get some digging and weeding done.
You know that the slug are awake now and about to run rampant!
xsunloving
Some decent heavy rain coming down in Cheshire today.
Funny how your attitude to rain changes when you have to water by hand during dry spells ;D
Properly raining in Leicester now. Just in time for the ripening strawberries (well forming at least.)
The only downside? Off to work on the Vespa at 2pm I hope its stopped by then.
Ahh..it is raining...wake me up when it stops... ;D ;D ;D
Raining and very windy here in Swindon. Must admit pleased to see the rain, but can do without the wind. Cracks in the good old Swindon clay you can put your hand in. I wish I new were all the compost disappears to that goes on the ground in the winter.
Raining in Notts
Rain in Leeds
very light rain here on the east coast (bees still flying)
wet in birmingham
luckily i was in weston super mare for most of the day,which was pretty nice weather ;D ;D
Chucking it down in Notts.
WET in North Yorkshire. Went for a 6-mile walk around Rivaulx Abbey and it barely stopped raining the whole time, and saved the torrential stuff for the last 10 mins so we were like drowned rats and just had to seek sanctuary in the tearoom. ;)
Had a huge thunder storm early am in south staffs.Plenty of the wet stuff :)
Been a warm breezy day with the odd rain fall. :)
I am going out to do a rain dance in a minute, not a drop here in sunny Salisbury.
A few huge blobs of rain that didn't even join up on the path :(
Sheet lightning in the distance last night, down Grandma's way on the coast, wonder if she's been rain dancing yet Petera ???
Ninny

We've had a good long wetting today (Hartlepool).

Warm
Cloudy
A few sunny spells
Wind picking up
Jesus is spitting at the moment.

Been up country since last week and returned to Cornwall yesterday. It had started raining at Exeter (nothing unusual there) and by the time I got home a full scale storm was in progress, tremendous winds, trees lashing all over the place, absolutely pouring and it continued so for hours and hours as it only can in Cornwall. Today, sun and cloud, and mixed forecast. Don't think lottie will need watering tho!!!
Regards Caro
We've had some heavy showers today, followed by Sunny spells. ;D ;D ;D
RAINING

beautiful here in saddleworth now that the north east wind has gone
We had a downpour yesterday for a couple of hours, apart from that it was a warm sunny spelled day, today is colder with sunny spells but very windy, but has settled down now. ;D ;D ;D
A glorious sunny day today. Everything looks extra clean clear and bright. Nasty cold wind blowing.
Yummy and sunny for the last few days, quite warm too ;D
scorching here in Saddleworth for the past few days and no rain due for a while either 8)
Been wonderful in Cornwall for days now, golden and blue weather. When it's wonderful it's God's own county, but when it rains.............

Here in the Tamar Valley it's been hot since the beginning of June, no rain at all.....and despite all the watering etc I am not going to complain after 3 atrocious summers in a row. Sun....bring it on!!!!!

It's been that hot here that I managed to semi-melt down some beeswax in a glass bowl placed on a piece of black slate.
A sprinkle of rain yesterday, fog this morning and now sunny and hot :)
Cloudy dull start
A 10 min shower
A hot and Sunny afternoon

Another scorcher here today 8) I'm off to a family garden party later, I hope they have plenty of Stella to keep me cool. 8) ;D ;D ;D
After a scorching hot and sunny day here in Dorset on Friday, yesterday was a little disappointing. cooler than expected and a lot of cloud. Still very warm and humid though, especially late pm when the skies looked pretty stormy. Nothing happened though. So much for the heatwave here! Managed to get much more done in the garden than expected too.
Today cooler and a but fresher. Still nice and warm, if cloudy again. All change overnight tonight. Rain and possible thunder forecast for southern england. Then an unsettled and cooler week ahead. I guess we need the rain but it has been nice to have some decent summer weather for a change.
If you want someone to blame, blame me. I put some 'emergency' shading up on my greenhouse on Friday. That's usually a signal for the weather to change! :o ;)
Yesterday was scorching 8) the sun was still blazing at 8o clock yesterday evening, today is cloudy with some sun and cooler winds. ;D ;D ;D
Just got back today from our caravan in the south Lake District, Went Friday afternoon, It started raining just North of Lancaster and was drizzling all day yesterday (Saturday) and this morning still raining with gale force winds, we should have stayed till Tuesday but were so miserable that we came home early only to find my garden in south Lancashire was still bone dry. No rain at all.
been very windy today, and a bit fresher too- still no rain but looks like there's some promised this week.
Plenty of rain for you today Mary, we had a few showers but hardly wet the surface, fresher with the cool winds and the Sun 8) even made a few visits. ;D ;D ;D
We were promised heavy rain, and got a bit of drizzle. At least it's cooler.
Poured with rain from 4 am this morning. Rashly went down to the lottie thinking that the rain was easing - needed a total change of clothes when I got home........ the only things dry were my socks ;)
Yet again yesterday there was rain forecast for today. But yet again tomorrow never came. Tomorrow rain is forecast for 4pm. I am certainly not holding my breathe. I am pleased for all those who got some water delivered. It is now 35 days with nothing but a few spits and spots. And that was the only real rain since Easter. Interestingly the local lakes are still higher than this time last year.
actually got 10 mm of rain !! yay!
DRY here - again. I'm surprised you got any cornykev, you're only a few miles away, we saw absolutely nothing.
Gusty winds with very heavy showers and the occasional burst of sunshire.
CC
Very very windy here with some nice Sunny spells in between. ;D ;D ;D
The odd light shower but that's all. The soil was still pretty dry yesterday.
Tuesday, steady fairly heavy rain all day
Wednesday, damp start to the day improving to sunshine in the afternoon.
Thursday, it is lashing down again :-\
I'd be happy to share if anyone can arrange it ;D
Its been very hot and dry here for ages. 8)
It was hot with sunny spells today, but now finally its started to rain, :o for more than 5 minutes, about 45 minutes so far. :o ;D ;D ;D
Day 3, School Holiday ( Teaching Assistant) Weeding. Almost had the allotment completed. Weed free, soil turned over ready for a new batch of plants. I began pulling up all my onions (masses) but the heavens opened. I made an escape to my shed and I was stuck inside for 1 1/2 hours :/ Down came the rain, in torrents!
But all was not lost...I found a kettle, gas stove, tea bags,sugar and long life milk. I sat in my shed with a cup of tea and an allotment book........!! :)
Southwater is, in my humble opinion, the driest spot in the UK this year - I took the washing off the line last night as there was a trickle and it had dried up before I cover the airer >:(
Ninny
I have done something to my back carrying all those watering cans on the allotment. :( :( :(
@lilyjean - That sounds like bliss.
Here in the Midlands, the forecast keep promising showers, but they never quite turn up.
I'm caught in two minds.
Loads of rain would be great for the plots, but I want hot, sunny days for the bees.
Perfect solution would be to pour down at night, which would also stop my 6 months pregnant wife complaining about the heat :) then to dry up for a gorgeous sunny day all day, allowing our 2 kids toplay outside all day.
That way the plants have the water to make the nectar to keep the bees happy, and the plants would all grow happily.
How do I start a petition to get the weather changed?
Hot and Sunny 8) here today with a little cloud cover. ;D ;D ;D
lovely sun all day, rain @ tea-time, perfect!! ;) :D :D

hahaha!!! wouldn't it be wonderful for it to rain through the night as well as having hot sunny days.......imagine the size of the plants!It'll save me the job of having to walk to the taps and lumping the watering cans back to the plot!
Pop your wife's feet into a bowl of cool water, she'll feel pampered and cooler!!
Lets petition our thoughts to the universe and see what happens!!
Yet again no rain - yesterday, there were downpours not three miles away....tomorrow's promised heavy rain has wussed down to maybe a light shower....grrr.

Yet again no rain - yesterday, there were downpours not three miles away....tomorrow's promised heavy rain has wussed down to maybe a light shower....grrr.
That's what keeps happening here too in Northants, close the border with Bedfordshire. It is so dry. I did myself an injury too, but not from carrying watering cans. I made the mistake of digging out garlic from rock hard clay soil. I am dreading tackling the potatoes!
Still no rain :(
Ninny
Suffolk....it's raining!! Its working!!! I've been petitioning my thoughts to the universe for it to rain in the night...yay!!! :)

Not as wet or windy today. Have got the carpeting out to "drain".... ::)
Hartlepool is gusty with little bursts of sunshine between showers-typical November really.
Just come back from a week in sunnier climes and finding it very cold and wet indeed. Thank goodness for thermals. Mind you we need the rain to fill the water table back up. Need some veg so will have to brave the mud and go down to the lottie soon.
let's just say I dare not go outside to see what the weather is like :o
Haven't often seen the 'glass' this low! (Yesterday)
Spectacular on a barograph, too!

Cold, but Sunny all day. 8) 8) 8)
The winds getting up in Notts.
Am sitting here listening to a Gale outside, all sorts of bangs and a wheelie bin blowing down our Close. I hate wind like this and am always worried regarding roof slates and fencing coming down. It really is that strong.
It's probably worse up on the Moors! Queenbee. It's fairly wild out here in the Midlands tonight.. :-X
love the barogragh, grandma!
So do I , pumpkinlover! I wish I owned it but it lives in a much posher house than mine. I'm just a barometer-thumper! x
Wild night in lancaster >:( fence down, greenhouse in ruins and feeling gloomy heading to the hardware store for nails and silcone sealer and maybe a cake from next door to perk me up ;D
hope you are all safe and well

Very similar here in Northants, -7.6C over night, now -3.5C About the same night time minimum as the coldest night all winter last year. In November!!! We still have half the leaves on our big apple tree and apples are still hanging on too. It is like the autumn season has been missed out this year. Yesterday the ground was solidly frozen all day, getting difficult to dig out parsnips.
Sunny though, at least it is not that depressing grey in grey, quite cheerful really.
Brass monkey weather here in Brum today.
I am East of York, and someone who records the weather (and posts it on the internet) in a village near me, recorded -16.4 last night... I have 5" of snow. The sun is now out and it's beautiful. p.s it's still -6... and it's only November...
Cold and frosty here the last two mornings, the suns 8) out now but still cold, I don't how i'm going to get the courage to brave the cold this afternoon, it's footie at the pub so I'll have to brave it I suppose. ;) ;D ;D ;D
Down to -7 here in our part of oxfordshire last night. Just starting to cloud up now.A mate over the road phoned his mum yesterday to check she was OK.Its getting really cold here in Sicily she said its 20 degrees :(
Cold, but no sign of the frost this morning. ;D ;D ;D
Just across in Gloucestershire we are obviously having a heatwave it was -5c last night. It has not gone above freezing since Friday and the ground has been solid for days now.
Who turned off the heat? What happened to global warming? I cannot remember voting for all this cold weather. Bring back Gordon it was much warmer with him in charge. ;D
My towels are now nice and fluffy after being freeze dried.
Snow showers most of the day but not settled yet. ;D ;D ;D
Snow here on and off all day... some settled and it looks set to continue overnight... :-X
Woke up to a light covering of snow here is the SE.
It has continued all day, and it is now about 1 1/2 inch and it is quite slippery under foot for my trip down the hill to the post office.
Proper brass monkeys today, but no snow. ;D ;D ;D
No snow just -2 all day and the missus has got through half a load of logs ;D ;D ;D
Merrily snowing away and adding more to the couple of inches we got a few days ago. Very icy. Strangely some leaves and apples are still hanging high up on the trees, or they are frozen on? Perishing cold too and a nasty wind.
Been snowing on and off in Notts all day.
Still coming down in West Sussex tonight :(
Ninny
cold easternly wind, but very little snow, so far
We have some to spare, you would be very welcome :D :D
over a metre of snow and -10. Eat your hearts out! ;) ;D ;D

That's awful, how are you coping? Are you able to get out? Our temperatures and snow are nothing like yours but I'm too scared to drive.
My car has been buried for about a week now and the street is virtually impassible unless you have a 4 x 4 or winter tyres, however the main road is only about 5 minutes' walk/slide away and once you get there the buses are running. I managed to get to Kirkcaldy yesterday, although I waited over an hour in the railway station watching one train after another being cancelled.Finally got one though!
Still 8 inches of snow, but minus 5.7 positively warm by others standards

It makes me smile when we are in Sicily in the winter and the weather is so warm for us, but the locals are wearing thick coats, hats and scarves.
A few years ago there was a brief snowfall in my husband's town and everyone rushed out to take photos. :)
A paltry -7c here as we were scraping off OH's car... :-X
I have not bothered to get the car out.....hard enough walking on the sheet ice.
The sun is out this morning.hope things will improve.
A tropical -5c in Notts
Had to go out yesterday to get Tones tooth capped, did some shopping but know all didn't want to get the milk, said he would get it today so he's gotta walk down the road and back up the hill ain't he. ;D. I don't like walking on packed snow.
-4C at ten in the morning in Northamptonshire.
Still -4C here at midday... 8)
The sun's out, we've shot up to 0 degrees and it's still snowing!!
Bloody cold here, but the snow has cleared. ;D ;D ;D
thawing here now 8)
It's thawing here but raining too so it may turn to snow as the temp drops tonight... I won't be as keen to check tomorrow morning though! :-X
We had a village celebration last night; our house was open for paintings, mulled wine etc, I sang in choir carols outside and indoors, but temperature was down to - 12 according to several people this morning.
Has shot up to +7 today, but very vicious hail storm at mid-day and freezing again tonight.
Have not visited any of my allotments for over a week, and am missing them more than I can say. And we are in the effete South East.
Its +4 here in oxfordshire tonight summer must be on its way ;D
Can't complain- the two snowstorms are supposed to miss Delaware and hit to the north and south of us.
very fick thog ;D
Blue Sky's n sunshine but sill cold -1 in the shade in Notts.
We have only had a sprinkle of snow since the cold snap started, less than an inch all told.
Yesterday it rained. Today beautifully sunny and I noticed steam rising from the wet. This has now turned into fog and I can just see across the road.
Glad I have no where that I need to go.
let's just say the monkeys are way beyond the brass ;D
Beautiful bright sunny day and -7C...
the monkeys are singing soprano... ;D
Brass here too with frost and fog. :( :( :(
Freezing fog here all day. Could someone please fix the heating. ;D

We have -9 in Northamptonshire, the freezing fog on the trees is now a thick layer of the white stuff, the sun has come out and it looks very festive. But Oh so cold ........
We have bright blue skies but the rime on the plants looks lovely... even the cobwebs look "artificial".. :)
Hartlepool is ....awaiting more snow!
It's raining!!
Cold and frosty here, it should be warming up a tad as the week goes on. :( :( :(
Peaked at -3c thought about a freezing fog then changed it's mind... might come back as the temps fall tonight... :-X
The fog has sublimated into hoar frost and everyhing is covered in a layer of white. Every twig and spiders web is a work of art. It looks stunning.
Here in Fife I have over a foot of snow in the garden, accumulation from last week plus yesterday. Haven't been able to get down the garden yet but from the windows it looks as though two trees have been badly damaged by the weight of snow. Christopher Lloyd said this kind of thing is an opportunity to do some new planting - we shall see....
Fortunately we live within (difficult) walking distance of shops so food isn't a problem but haven't been able to get the car out since the weekend before last. All meetings since then have been cancelled anyway. Using the time to catch up on all kinds of bits of work that have been on the back burner for quite a while.
No buses, no trains, so husband hasn't been able to get to work in Edinburgh - boo hoo!

well its castrato forecast for tonight ;D but astonishingly the temp is about to jump up at least 10 degrees, positively tropical, will have to get the bbq going - love that advert, that's me all over, having a barbie in mid winter ;D
Hartlepool is still bitterly cold, but the snow forecast for yesterday didn't materialise, and so we just await the thaw that's supposedly coming at the weekend- it'll take a good one to get rid of all this snow and ice- can't believe we've had it lying for two weeks now- it hardly ever stays this long on the coast.
15 car pile up on the m62, east lancs grid locked, we're supposed to be doing a food run for Ray's mum this afternoon , hope it warms up a bit :-\
The sun if out in Enfield, but it is still cold. Thinking about going to tennis if it warms up after lunch. ;D ;D ;D
Sunny here, just above freezing which is nice. Sorry to hear about the smash...
2 degrees in Edinburgh today and the sun is shining and the snow is melting where the sun hits it. Mind you there's almost 2 feet of the stuff still where we haven't cleared it so it could take a while!! Hard to believe it was - 16 yesterday!
today - just a little reindeer ;D
Cold and Sunny, as I drove down the A10 tonight, you wouldn't believe what I saw, only a couple of old biddys in bodywarmers playing TENNIS. ;D ;D ;D
dry most of the day, slight drizzle for a while this afternoon, but a lot warmer than last week!
Damp start to the day in Notts.
Horrible grey day in Notts
Still the same :(
Cold and cloudy, Foggy yesterday. ;D ;D ;D
Frosty but sunny start to the day, third nice day in a row :o ;D
Clouding over now :(
Believe it or not, the sun is shining here, after a prediction of 60% possibility of snow.
Bit rough out there today, blizzard
-3 in Notts but no snow.
beautiful morning sky at the moment in Hartlepool, but very cold....
We have snow. So far about 3.5cm. Falling fast.
-3 here in oxfordshire just a light dust of snow still here from yesterday but it has just started to snow again
-6C and sunny here in Suffolk.
6" of snow and still going, luckily we did Ray's mum's food etc run yesterday :)
Snowing and settling here which looks pretty but I'm glad that I don't have to venture out in it!
-5 and the snow is coming thick and fast here, just outside Epping, Essex. Looks beautiful, just lovely. I'm supposed to be popping into town on the bus soon but hmmmm, I don't know about that now ....!
Just started snowing heavily again here had stopped at 9cm. Looks very pretty. Looks like the band of snow is pivotting round and it is going to come back over again. Very little wind so no blizzard here.
snowed in preston last night
its -2c at the moment, and the sun is out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paDOUEuy7Jw
SNOW. :o :o :o
Still snowing. Now up to 15 cm here.

No snow here. Can't help feeling the media always make it sound worse when it's the south-east that's affected. ::)

Well, my two men seemed to have brains made from mush today and went out regardless of the four hundred warnings on the beeb and sky news channels about not doing so >:( Took one four hours and twenty minutes to get the eight miles home. Took the other three hours to get back from Lakeside. I would say serves 'em right but I had to spend the day worrying if they were going to make it home ok!!
Good five or six inches of snow here now which is obviously on the way to freezing hard on the roads. Sigh. Snow I love, ice I do not, LOL
Snow still on the ground here in Plymouth with more forecast today :D
main roads gritted and clear, side roads have ice and compacted snow.
woodburner ticking over nicely!
Snap tonybloke put another log on ;D ;D ;D

-8 this morning,had the odd flake a snow last night but nothing to write home about.
Still minus 5c here at the moment.. :-*
Mentioned in an earlier post about my daughter having to stay at the hospital overnight ( and she worked evn though she had just done 14 hours on the day shift)
They provided a taxi for her this morning and on the way home she had to get stuck in and help dig him out of a ditch.
I think she's earned a good sleep today. Hope she wakes up in time for work tomorrow.
No snow since mid week but it took my Great Niece 5 hours to get home from Milton Keynes. Stay safe people, especially people like Shirl's daughter who are managing to work to keep things going.
-8 this morning at 11 a.m :o
still, managed to get the rest of the shopping done, all finished now but hope it doesn't snow any more :)
except that if it does snow again it means it has warmed up - the sun is shining bootiful here, sorry :-X
Thought I heard on the news that Pershore hit -19C last night ;D
Bromsgrove -19 as well
-15 in central Birmingham. I went down to the plot yesterday to retrieve a tin of seeds, and had to climb in through the shed window because the lock was a solid lump of ice.

Greenhouse door stuck fast here too. I have Babington Leek outside which is still very small and covered by snow, but the greenhouse ones are a foot high and really appreciated when it is too cold to harvest anything else. And now it is too cold and icy even for that. -8C at the moment and set to get colder.
Still -8c here in Derby at the moment.. :-X
Sleet and snow but 2c. The novelty has worn off now :(
below freezing again, now we've got some freezing fog coming in over the North Sea, (which is nice) ;)
-9 and freezing fog this morning, son in law's car broken down so off to their house 5 miles away at 7 a.m.this morning, nice ;D
-10 here
-3 & snowing hard
Back from Sainsbo's to beat the rush still -5c :-\
5-6 inches of snow here this morning in Dorchester. Just stopped now. Dont know if there is more to come or not. Clouds still look pretty thick with it.
had some massive snowflakes with it. largest i have ever seen i think.
Recorded something of a record low for our garden 2 nights ago. -9.2C! Have known it to get down to -8c on a few occasions but never that low. Getting into the territory of too cold even for some hardier plants in the garden.
-14 here last night. I saw a lovely fox this morning, walking round the site. I hope we're going to see more of them; I haven't seen one for a couple of years, and they keep the rats down.
Luckily just a dusting so far today. -10 last night but now only -4.
Started snowing again in Swindon. Its not been to bad here so far. Not much fun at 3.30 am trying to get into a frozen car though.
Won't be going to far from the fire now I'm home ;D ;D
Just looked...-7 in Notts
vindaloo here, madras hopefully by the weekend, korma's a long way off ;D
A lot better today ;D
We have snow again... just a couple of inches.. :-X
Snowing here. So glad that we travelled over to see Mom yesterday and took her presents.
This weather is ok if you haven't got to go out.
rain!! big thaw going on here ;D
Three inches of snow overnight but not as cold, :)
We've had snow in Notts today now it's dropping cold again my drive is like a ice ring.
Pontypridd is like an ice rink all the boys on the council working flatout no good complaining just get the shovel out and help. Not haveing a dig at the youngsters but my dad and i would go up and down the road with all the neighbours and clean front steps, & paths , we all seem a bit stand offish today. Never mind a big thank you to all the services during this spell of bad weather. The thaw has started in wales all roads are bad but shops well stocked.
-3 This morning when i went to pick me daughter up to take her to(no bus today) work,now just dull n cloudy in Notts.
Beautiful, cold and icy out.
Just been for a walk to the allotments where I was glad to see the plot robin.
We're snowed in. Been here nearly 18 years and had some horrible winters but this is a first. Overnight on the 23rd we had more snow on top of what was already there plus the layer of ice below that. Woke up to find a 3' drift of snow outside the front door and behind the car and all along the road.
Fortunately we'd done nearly all the grocery shop on the 23rd as there was no sign of a snowplough or any other vehicles apart from farmers using their tractors to g and get their bread and groceries and, for our neighbours who run a riding school, extra supplies for the horses and ponies. OH walked 3 miles into the local town to get a few bits and bobs and found assorted cars stuck in firlds, snowdrifts or just waiting and frustrated trying to get to relatives in the village further up the other way.
This morning a snowplough finally came along and cleared a single track in either direction. Let's hope he makes it back to clear a double track or people will still get stuck.
Meanwhile, Rasta doggy is thoroughly enjoying leapin and bounding in salt free snow and the birds are feasting on all the seeds, fat balls, peanuts and old fruit I've put out for them. Clever Rasta doggy has killed a huge rat that's been helping itself too. The cat is sensibly staying indoors and tucked up warm. he has one leg missing after a road accident so doesn't do deep snow.
I hope everyone is safe and warm out there in lottie land and can enjoy the beauty, if not the inconvenience.
still very cold !
Sleet in Notts.

Rain overnight, overcast and a bit foggy this morning. It feels much milder and the snow has pretty much gone now although under the surface the ground is frozen. The birds were having a good old sing song this morning ;D
It is odd to see green all around rather than white!

Still dark but minimal rain and no frost! Have you got snow Betty? The radio says snow in the West Midlands... :)
Heavy snow first thing and about an inch of slush, but it's melting fast. According to the forecast this should be the end of the cold weather, at least for the time being.
snowing quite heavily here, hope it melts before tomorrow, we're getting 16 tons of manure dropped off tomorrow :)

Pontyptridd showers all day but very cold wind. Glad retireing this year bones are feeling it now, Got a wood burner on order for the shed all us men need a warm DEN away from the O/H
Good weather this morning for tennis, but did keep my coat on. No wind and no sun so OK. These OAP don't let the weather stop them playing tennis.
How do you serve with a coat on Borlotti, underarm. :P
NO, but the over 80's do, and they don't stay long to chat, as are off walking the dog or going to museums/theatre with their free bus/train pass, playing bridge whatever. Not like you young people today. Free swim for over 50's, not too long for you now Kev. How is your new job going (thought you were allot. sec/treasurer, whatever). Off topic again, if I swear I may get banned, but old people can get away with most things, and I object to the 3 people that offered me a seat on the bus, and I was carrying my tennis racquet.
drizzle this morning
Wet... :'(
ditto
Very wet.....again!
raining and dull .09 c at the moment
Wet again!
Swindon, weather cant make its mind up today. Rains for a while then stops, then just as I've got me gardening coat on down comes the rain again. Staying in doors now and doing some bead work. Perhaps the weather will be better tomorrow.

Hey Hey, we finally got some snow!!XX Jeannine
You can keep it... it would spoil the crocus which are out in force now... :)
Is that normal to get snow there this time of the year?...getting a bit late for it?
I do hope we are over and done with now..I'm getting desperate for getting something planted out.
But ground is getting wetter and wetter...but even then, I've managed with help of my friend dig out some mature fruit bushes that she is going plant on her plot to make 'edible' hedge...and I have more room for my veg ;D
Hmmm...it's getting darker again...RAIN >:(

The weather here in Sandwell this afternoon as been lovely and sunny the sun was quite warm even took coat off while in greenhouse.
A pretty chilly few days here in Dorset. Mostly sunny though, friday was particularly nice, Saturday grey and raw feeling. Today not too bad. Sunny spells and not too cold. Had some sharp frosts on recent nights, just what you dont need at the moment. Week ahead looks reasonable, however next week it looks like it could be even colder with some snow!!!
Somebody tell the weather gods its march now and we should be finished with winter weather.
Been a long, long winter this time. Getting fed up now. Want some nice mild sunny weather so I can get out in the garden without being bundled up in layers of warm clothes and feeling like the Michelin Man!
Cold start with the Sun 8) popping out a few times with a coldish wind blowing through. :-\
Chopped down and cleared out my autumn raspberries and asparagus beds (rather late), quite heavy work, added manure etc, but so COLD. East Sussex. Two degrees of frost expected tomorrow.

Really warm here in Brum. Have great plans [on lottie] for next few days, if fine as promised.
The weather is amazing here in Hampshire. Strong sunshine and blue skies all day. Mad panic therefore this morning taking everything that would mind it too hot out of greenhouse, taking off bubble wrap and putting up shade netting. I only just kept it under 30 with all the vents/door open.
Too nice to be indoors...
Sunshine, a big fire next door tried to block the sun at work though. :o :o :o
raining...still!!
XX Jeannine
Wall to wall blue sky here... a bit of a chill in the air still but that will be gone by @9:00am... :)
What with this good weather the house work is being put on hold and the shopping is having to be fitted in either on the way to the plot or on the way back.
We do get some funny looks especially if we don't take a change of clothes with us.
So long as I have me red hat with me purple feather in I can get away with anything ;D
Another hot Sunny day, 8) the budgie smugglers will be out on the plot if this weather continues. :o :-* ;)
budgie smugglers ???
Thought I was stupid too, Je ne comprehend, the joke. Long time since I did French at school. Do you know what you touch type when you put the wrong fingers on the keys. R vrtysinly hopr noy. Funny that Kev cause it was a lovely sunny day today in Enfield, think I have got sunburn. Did a lot of watering.
Heavens to Betsy, the blooming sun is shining.. wow one day break in the rain the forecast says..oh the pressure, whst shall I do with my sunny day?
XX Jeannine
PS I don't get the budgie thing

Still raining :'(
XX Jeannine
Jeannine..you might have to start looking some 'boat' onions.. ;) Is all that rain you having normal weather pattern or just freak spring?
pleasant day here,warm with a breeze
could do with a drop of rain tomorrow for my spuds
They say it is the worst for many many years..as I said earlier, in my mind I am almost beginning to accept it as permanent. John was there a couple of days ago trying to move some rotten wood off the new plot, he was working past his ankles is soft mud, he finally had no choice but to give up. It is clay so you can imagine how sticky it was, he said his boots kept getting stuck and once or twice he ended up with his sock in the mud if he toppled over when the boot got stuck.
XX Jeannine
At least you've got the plot available to build an ark on. Do you have a supply of gopher wood?
Yesterday was dull and cloudy with cross winds. :'(
Cloudy yesterday and today, but warming up a few degrees everyday. ;D
In Nantes today there were a few clouds this morning, but now it is fine and warm. Lord it seems daft to pray for rain but I could do with some! Seems silly to be watering in April!!
dull and cloudy here in preston 12.04c at the moment
A lovely Sunny morning 8) clouded over about 2 ish. ;D
Absolutely beautiful in Hastings, still warm and sunny now!

Warm again, the Sun came out about midday . 8)
Bother, bother, bother. In North Hampshire where I live, we've had heavy rain forecast on the met office site all day for overnight. Just looked as there is no sign yet in the real world - and they've 'taken it away'... Well, you know what I mean.
It's so dry, please send us some rain....
A Hot Sunny Day All Day. 8) 8) 8) 23oc
Another Hot Sunny Day, 8) with a bit more cloud cover though. 8)
The sun has had his hat on. And kept it on all day. Hot hot hot, got me shorts on.
The busiest day of the year in the bakery. Not looking forward to tomorrow. Can't beleive I'm praying for rain. Plot of concrete.
Have a good easter everyone.
The car thermometer said 28% when I drove somewhere at dinnertime, I thought it was because it was parked in the sun, but it only went down to 26% when we were moving (nice with the hood down) Parked it in the shade for the afternoon and it hit 30% about 4 oclock. Shorts on and going commando to keep em chilled. ;)
No rain here for weeks. I was weeding at 8:00 this evening and the soil was warm! Loving the weather but worrying about my plants. The soil around my garlic was cracking, and it's not even clay.
Blue skies not a cloud all day and hot 8)
IT's raining and thunder and lightning, just hope it stops before morning, it does mean we don't have to have a mammoth watering session tomorrow, all the butts are nearly dry and we're having to take 5 gallon drums with us ;D
Hot, dry and sunny all day here in Coalville.
So hot today, but not now we have thunder and lightning and rain. A bit dark here tonight in not so sunny Enfield. But we do need the rain for the allotment. Lucky I planted some seeds today.
As above. ;D ;D ;D
After almost 3 months rain we have had two beautiful sunny days,,now rain forecast for the next 13 !!
XX Jeannine
Another hot Sunny day. 24oc 8) 8) 8)
As above. 8) 8) 8)
It's a very weird sky out there tonight in Essex. Big splodgy dark bits to the west. We need some rain (what's new?) so I'm hoping.
In North Lincs its very dry, cold with a nasty north east wind. What a change but no rain in sight and I've put all the movable plants back in the poly and covered with fleece......The fig is shivering [under fleece and net] outside the poly as I only had the heavy squad here on Sunday to shift it for me... ::)
Can not complaine weather here has been great for 3 weeks for the past week mid 20s no water problems to report so will keep watering the lawns twice a day all the veg is looking great runner beans went out today enough for 26 canes another 26 in 2 weeks time then another 26 will be ready to freeze for the winter. Cabbage and colis I am holding back but they will after go in by next weekend. Flowers already in bloom one rose in flower fingers crossed no more frost to come :)
Cold and windy today, the sun not coming out until 1.15 and it warmed up a bit and the wind dropped. :-\
Spoke to soon raining here at the moment it will save watering for a few days ;D
The sun took its time to burn off the cloud this morning with a cold wind.
Very cold start to the day, it was 1pm before the sun broke through, but still nice for the time of year. They say rain by friday not a royalist but I wish them well anyone know the odds on the divorce year ::)
Not quite so cold today here in oxfordshire but still breezy :)
Another very hot day here in Wales we must be good to have all this nice weather :P
Yesterday a cold windy start with the Sun warming up later, still windy though. :)
sunny, but strong easterly wind all day, keeping the temperature down.
Another lovely sunny day in sunny Enfield.
Nice and sunny but a bit drafty :D
As the old bird said above. :-*
Just got home & it's RAINING - Hip-hip-hooray!!!!!
Very windy cold day. Could do with some rain, ground like concrete.

Raining..what else, still cannot get on the plots..I am beginning to think we never will now XXJeannine
Are you growing Rice this year Jeannine. :-X ;)
Just heard a funny sound - rain drops on the roof. After ten weeks of nothing, we had a mini shower just now. Oh dear, it has stopped already :(
oh, i hope rain is on the way !! back garden is undigable basically unusable at the moment !
Raining .... light, but its been on all morning :) Can feel the garden sighing with relief !

Hot hot hot. Too hot to lottie after 12 noon.
After a wet weekend it was back the Sunny days. 8)
surprisingly dry all day and got quite warm this early evening at 4.30 when i finished work, but after 5ish, it soon poured it down in Nott'm for about 10mins or so on the bus home! ;) so that's the lotti and the garden sorted for the next couple of days for me!! but on the flipside to that, the weeds will only thrive on this rain! >:( >:(
Sunny spells with high winds for the last three days. :-\
A Sunny afternoon but it's started raining now. ;D
Peed it down most of the day. I hope we get more soon.
It has rained nearly all day here but the sun has come out now and tomorrow is forecast to be sunny. could just do with this mixture continuing- the ground at my plot is just about right now.
Rain on and off all day here in oxfordshire looks like it might be dry now for the rest of the week.
Oh you're so lucky! It keeps getting ridiculously cloudy, and the air gets cold and you feel any second now it will POUR down... then the clouds whisk past, the sky is blue and the sun shines again. It's been doing that for about a week.
One thing is the soil is bone dry... the other thing is ... what to wear ??? :)
We had rain here for a few hours today. ;D
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh131/jazzbyrd/rain.gif)
Hot and Sunny. 8) 8) 8)
Very grey and windy today maybe we will get some rain ??? well you never know your luck ;D
Very warm, but really windy.

Its been raining now for the last 4 hours. ;D 8)
Rain only just started here does look like it is set in though, and i watered today ::)
Hello we live in east sussex it rained today it actually started to fill up our water butts HOORAY we havent had rain like this for weeks and weeks
It started raining in Croydon at 2.45pm - and it's still going at 9.00pm! I an certain it's because I had my iPod in while I was digging over the couch grass salad and tomato bed this morning, and I was doing a little dance to Jamiroquai with every forkload. ;D
here in nottinhamshire we have no rain,might try bikergirls rain dance ;D ;D
A little rain here, but we still need a deluge.
Been raining since 3pm and still going ;D but now it's coming bedroom ceiling :'(. Never buy a house with a butterfly roof..
Light shower about 7am. Just grey and overcaste now. Could do with a good down pour.
Whats a butterfly roof ?
Still no rain..., overcast and cool... but no rain... :(
QuoteHello we live in east sussex it rained today
Me too - whereabouts are you, happygardner? (Your profile says somewhere near Banbury - have you got plans to extend the borders of Sussex's empire? ;))
I'd like to know what a butterfly roof is too - it doesn't sound good in a downpour :-[
A butterfly roof was the Victorian builder's cheapscate idea to make a house look grander than it really was. From the street the roof can't be seen but a bird's eye view shows that the roof runs down towards a central gully. It is the gully that causes the problems in a downpour - we are on our fourth fix in 20 years. Now saving our pennies for a fibre-glass version - if it works for boat hulls............ in the meantime, a bucket is on constant stand-by :-[
Sunny spells with mostly cloud. :-\
is anybody having probs with plants dew to the weather and not enuff rain, my plant are going a little yellow on tips.
we really need a serus downpour.
A downpour this afternoon, funny enough as the schools were coming out, I got drenched on the way home, thats even with an umbrella. :o
A good down pour here about 4ish for an hour, sunshinning at the moment. Cherrys on tree ripening, wont be long before the starlings appear ::)
So you are hogging all the rain again Taurus. ;D Just a few minutes of light shower here. But there is a promising blob on the radar. So I might be tempted to do a little rain dance.
Weirdly warm in Croydon - lots of fluffy coluds scudding overhead, but no rain.
Hi Digeroo, I can always fill the blue tubs up and bring some over ;D And its raining here again at the moment.
Just have a BBQ at the site its bound to rain,Ill come along just to make sure.
Raining in Notts.
Yep..it is..and long may it last..we do need it.
But it feels so cold as well..BRRR..I'll have to get fire going..FIRE, in middle of June.. ::)
We had July weather in April, in June we have April temperatures and showers..what next ???..December in July? ::) Hmm..I might have to start looking my santa outfit..get Christmas shopping done.. ;D
A nice steady rain here for most of the morning - long may it last, well until tomorrow anyway!
Raining here since early morning. Nice gentle drops. Hope it continues for rest of today.
Raining here since about 9am. I hope your getting some of this Digeroo. ;D ;D
We had hail stones last night for a short time.
It's been bucketing down since about 5 am here in North Wales. Not complaing, the plot seriously needs it ! We had snow 2 days ago, full sun all day yesterday, Wonder what else it will throw at us ? :-\
Started raining here at 7 just carried on with jobs at the plot and got wet it was nice to see the rain ;D
Finally it is raining. Yippee. Started just after 7 am I was down at lottie until 8 when it became rather more persistant. Been at it all day but so far only half an inch. I think the grass has already grown a few inches.
p*****g down all day long here in preston
Cats and dogs since about 8.30 this morning. ;D
Got told theres a drought in northamptonshire, had rain non stop today :D
At least we wont have to water tonight hurrah
All I hope it no's when to stop. ::) ;D We tend to get flood down one end of the site. ( OK you can all stop laughing )
A hot Sunny day yesterday, 8) looks like a gloomy one today and rain the rest of the week. ???
Manchester was dull overcast and then at about 3pm we got one hell of a downpour.
We've been getting odd showers, but that's all. We still need all the rain we can get.
Sunny and dull and a tad windy in Notts.
Tipping it down one minute, then the sun shinning fit to bust the next. As long as the sunshines tomorrow, son taking me to GW.

Woke up this morning to lovely rain. Hoed like hell yesterday so it will all soak in (and send up the pesky weeds) ;D
We have rain too... not sure how much yet... :)
Rain started about 1pm yesterday and as been raining on and off ever since ;D ;D If it keeps up for the 4 days predicted I just might try 1 sowing of pea's, any recommended varieties for this late in the season? Thanks in anticipation.
Ambassador ;D
Thanks shirlton : :) :)
A bit of light rain yesterday but not enough for any water to feed into the butt, moss had it all. and a bit of drizzle early this morning, now it is a lovely sunny day. Lets hope it is enough to dry out the tomato stems.
We had a little rain this morning, nothing worth getting excited about.... windy, sun and cloud now here in Lincs :)
Looks like Swindons getting your share again Digeroo :o ::) ;D

Typical, been great all week, now we have a working weekend and it's pouring down. Any bets how many turn up? ;D
AHHHH...the blessed rain has finally arrived...that means I can have a break from watering can duties ;D..and swap it to house work ones.. ::) Oh well..one musn't waste the life away being idle..
We needed the rain but pouring here in south staffs.
Just when I had one whole weekend to devote to the lottie. :(
Pouring here in Weston Super Mare.
We'll be making wine this morning and I'll be making cards pm,The OH wil no doubt find a comfy chair and watch sport :)l
Duck weather here this morning.
Nice steady rain here. We really need it again. Soil very dry. Hoping it will clear by lunch time. By my calculations it will clear Weston in an hour or so.
Duck weather here too... as the annual BBQ is planned for this evening! ::)
The rain is clearing through quite fast, you might be lucky and get a break in it this evening.
Light constent rain here after a lovely Sunny day yesterday. 8)

jim
Pouring with rain here in Lincs......great for the garden......but can't get out to do anything ::)
Pouring down with rain in Bedfordsihre - we have our bbq/veg competition tomorrow - hope rain holds off for a couple of hours! :-[
Rain just stopping off here, so should be better now for anyone who like the airplains at Fairford. Nowhere near enough for the garden, just grazed the surface of the dryness.
This may be my fault- I bought a new watering can yesterday! But we certainly need it.
>:( wet wet wet
Started raining here just after i watered the garden at the moment i have an upturned bin lid which i can see and its full to the brim with water. Fine drizzle now but still falling...
A few Sunny spells in the morning as I sat in the garden, then light showers that turned into torrential rain, thunder and lightening. ::)
Cloudy start
Sunny morning up and until 3 ish
Showers for a few hours
Bright again with some Sunny spells
Then the light rain joined in again.
??? ??? ???
Still raining - most of July has been miserable and wet, tomatoes not ripening and starting to get mildews on the squash (like last year! where we also had a terrible July) and cannot treat as it just rains off it :'( :'(
The only things that seem to like it are the cabbages and beetroot. I did get a couple of dry spells to harvest the alliums though so always a silver lining...
Sunny all day yesterday
Looks like the same today.
8) 8) 8)
not as nice as sunday...dull but dry here in preston today.
It's been a bit cold and wet recently, but today is ;D Sun, sun and a little bit more....sun!
sunny 20c lovely
Overcast but warm... classic blight weather... :-\
At last it's raining in Notts.
Summers arrived here - another very warm and pleasant day.
More to come and I'm hoping it will last through the week-end too. ;)
Tis really warm here as well in the South East
Ice-cream sales will be rocketing at the weekend.
I saw a Mr Whippy van out and about this afternoon. Summer's not done for yet!! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy005.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
I've been down the lottie for the last two days in my speedo's and flip flops. 8) 8) 8)
Don't know what the weather is like because it's dark... he he
Yesterday it was beautiful. If we don't have rain I will have to irrigate the garden or I will lose some plants. Like many of you, Jersey has seen very little rain this summer so I have had to irrigate often. The soil in my garden is 85% shale and 15% sand. I use water from a deep bore hole and send it through four sprinklers that I have installed twenty odd feet up and out through the tops of trees. With all four sprinklers working I am using a little under 4,000 gallons an hour. Hopefully the water will go back to the borehole eventually.
Wonderful in staffs yesterday,I was working and by the end of the day I was done it.A chap who comes into my workplace bought me a lovely ice cream............how kind of him. :)
Just got to make the best of the last of the summer's sun....
Hoping to get my parents out in it today while it's warm enough and we have the time..... just waiting for my brother-in-law to return the "I'll bring it back by Wednesday" wheelchair that he borrowed. >:(
Sitting in front of a monitor is just too much on such a beautiful day!(http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/userpics/12894/boxguy.gif) (http://www.smileyvault.com/)

Sounds lovely! I'll keep an eye out for you going by :)
Today was another scorcher in Sussex as I guess it was for most people. 8)
We went for a trundle... one in a wheelchair, me on foot and one on a scooter not honking his hooter.
Went to view what was once the most lovely wide open stretch of Grade II agricultural land - rich red soils surrounded by hedgerows. Now... a mass of concrete and new roads with many mini houses none with front gardens and few with any green at all.
Sad to see our little village surrounded by 650 new houses and the farmland gone. :(
But it made a change to be outside - first time this month. It was warm and the air was fresh. :)
Beautiful, beautiful weather here in West Essex. Standing room only on the bus home from work though - so not very pleasant at all! (I practically slid off when we pulled into town ... )
Forecast is lovely right through til Monday evening so that's nice. Due to head off on holiday to South Wales next Saturday so I'll be expecting this ... (http://www.smileyvault.com/albums/userpics/10001/badday-smiley.gif)
Wonder if the temps will stay high enough tomorrow to break the UK record for October? I think it has to be 29.5 or above :o
Flippin' hot in WSM but maybe this late sun will ripen the squashes-I live in hope :)

I was keeping positive about my squash plants too... only I've not visited them for a while and wonder if they are getting thirsty in all this super sunshine. ::)
SamLouise - have a great time in Wales. We were there at the end of July and, surprisingly, it didn't rain then either. 8) Fingers
and things crossed for good weather for you. ;)
Lovely pink sky this morning! (http://www.thesmilies.com/smilies/weather/sunrise.gif) (http://www.thesmilies.com)
Another hot one on the cards here... it was 20C+ at 7pm last night as the sun was going down!! :o
Beers outside the pub last night at 10PM and it's already sweaty this morning - London seems to have it's own brand of muggy, humid heat! Oh yes and I got a blight alert!!
Lovely morning here- think it's going to be a scorcher! noticed some field poppies flowering in thefield behind us this morning.
Boiling and gloriously sunny. My OH remarked it was like being on holiday in the Mediterranean. Most odd, though. Just been picking french beans, still very hot, yet the sun going down at 6pm to remind me it is actually October.
At 9:20pm it's 25
oC here indoors! (More fuel saved) ;)
Spent a very warm day in the sunshine having a picnic along the River Arun. Bootiful!! :)
Down the plot tomorrow to make the best of it as the grass needs cutting...

:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( 12 degrees in Edinburgh and mucho rain!
Sorry too hear you're missing it. This really has been the sunny south for the last few days.
A belt of warmth and sunshine makes me feel so much better. :)
we had a BBQ at the lottie today,even at gone six oclock we were still in short sleeves,no need for cardies! just had a shower and noticed tan lines from today...is it really October?
Too warm for me, phew! Didn't help that I'd decided to redo the back fence on Thursday which was finished today and then replant the flower bed in front of it, but I'm not complaining ;D
Normal weather here.
12 degrees in Edinburgh and mucho rain! Ohh..how I envy you..I don't enjoy this heat at all.. >:( I'm ready me snowshoes now.. ::)
Glorious again today, I feel a morning on the verandah with the newspapers coming on.
I am sorry for those who have not been experiencing the lovely weather. We are due for the fifth day of solid wall to wall sunshine. 8) 8) 8) Too hot to do much work on the lottie. Must get down their asap.
Though the little rain forecast for later in the week will be very welcome as well.
Newcastle?
Yesterday was 'ot ............. today it's not :(
Well I suppose the temperature is okay, but the precipitation is a bit of a downer. Didn't bother going to the car boot at 6 this morning either.
Sun in the south.... good for butternut squash. ;)
Overcast and rainy here in North Wales. High of 16 degrees for us today :'(
Hot ............
Going to the lottie this afternoon,not sue how much work will get done though :)
Mimi I wish I was having some of your rain its boiling here in Kent & Im getting fed up with having to water the lotty at 8am every morning ::) it is October for goodness sake! My leeks & other winter veg are looking very sorry for themselves even with regular watering x jane
lovely sunny day today.
Booootiful ;D On the plot at 7 this morning for 5 hours total heaven ;D
Very red sky when I got up at 7ish. Asked if there was a storm brewing, (in hope). Pleasantly cool & a little rain, sorry folks I wish there was foot stamping icon, I just don't like it ;).
Too hot here, in very sunny Enfield. All the windows open and the fan on, but looked at my lovely allotment, and cut a bit of grass and got too hot so came home, and did the ironing. I just love my son, who got divorced and came home, with all his washing and the lovely grandchildren alternate weekends. Think he has taken the lovely grandchildren to the sea and funny to say, even though I love the peace, can't wait until they get home, to hear all about it and more washing. Off to Isle of Wight tomorrow for 4 days so no more cooking, ironing but I will miss my lovely cat, Dulce, that is not really my cat. Have told next door to look after him, if he doesn't go home, he hasn't for years now. I am going off topic, excitment of going away tomorrow and the heat. Kev, wants for dinner, salad, as I don't want to cook.
27C and not a cloud to be seen. Same yesterday. It's supposed to get a bit cooler after tomorrow but still be dry and about 20C so well above normal temps. The violas I planted in window boxes and tubs for a winter display when it was cool and grey and dismal 2 weeks ago have now cooked!
I've taken advantage of the heat and sun and done a glyphosate spray on paths. Can't do any planting as the soil is bone dry after a very dry season so I'm pottering with potting up cuttings, seedlings, divisions and so on - and watering all the plants I can't get in the ground. relacement violas are staying in the shade for now!
'Flippin' hot here.
Just been to watch grandson playing footie in Clevedon just one section up the M5 from us and coming home saw an accident.It didn't look serious but the tailback :o :o :o :o
It was totally clogged all the way back into Weston and right back further down the motorway towards Taunton.Those poor folk had a lovely day by the seaside and probably won't get home 'til Tuesday ;D
Did feel sorry for them honest ! 'resisted the temptation to wave as we sped along going the other way ;)
ooops won't load
Took our daughter to Lancaster uni today and it rained nearly all day. Given how dry the soil was here I was hoping it had done the same at home, but got back to find it dry.
I WENT SWIMMING!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Had a lovely family day with daughter, SIL, grandchildren, et al - very hot, thermometer on the terrace - (in the sun) - showing just under 40ºC :o
Left the old wrinklies sitting in the shade and joined the mob in the pool!
Seems the tsunami hasn't reached you yet.
Glorious peace and quiet on the plot today when I arrived. :) I guess the warmth was too much for most people with more sense than me - I was the only one there apart from a nearby Filipino neighbour also out enjoying the sun... he vanished around 2pm.
The "cool crowd" appeared at around 5pm but vanished well before dark.
Just a few more days warmth then it's going to dip. Down to about 14oC on Friday. :(
Its been very hot today,had to leave bedroom window open,just looking at a4a cant get any peace for the OAK TREES!they are droping there acorns they bounce of the shed roof ,and the fence,theres four v large trees,wish the squrrels would take them all of it like someone throwing stones all night!must go and close the windows :( :(

The acorns sound like thunder don't they! I was at an RSPB site yesterday and we visited a few hides to look out across the wetlands. On ever hide door there was a sign saying "Quiet Please" which was amusing as the acorns falling on one hide sounded like bombs as they hit the tin roof!! ;D
Today is cooler and cloudier - I guess Autumn might be next? ???
A very hot weekend in Yarmouth, there was about 25 of us sunbathing outside our caravans on Sunday and its bloody October. :o
Spurs beat the ars, what a weekend, I even had a few ciders with Tonybloke. 8) 8) 8)
It has been windy all day, lots of rain with some very heavy showers. Not the best.
Windy with a few showers, did I dream about the hot weekend away, is Tonybloke real. ??? :o :P :D
It was no dream ;D
I've merged the 2 weather threads :)
Nice one Jayb, nice to see Allll the mods we have now are coming to good use. :P ;)
A bit of drizzle during the day. Heavy showers during the evening. Hopefully will be able to get the fork into the ground, its been like concrete. Am having to employ a young man to do the winter dig as still waiting to go to the hospital about my shoulder :'( :( >:(
On Wednesday evening "the wind was up" to put it mildly.
Blown home I was!!! (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-transport017.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
Lashed it down last night. :D
Despite the grey and the wind it remained dry yet again all day Thursday. ::)
I'm not complaining about not getting soaked but beginning to wonder if the summer bedding will last much longer in quite dry soil.
Much cooler to-day we had a wee thunder storm this afternoon,in bed with hot water bottle ,yes Iam a softy. ;D
Friday - the sky turned black but the sun shone out from beneath the clouds. A beautiful rainbow - a hefty shower then the night drew in.
Cooler night time temperatures.

Yep - we had the same here! I had to go into work at 6.30 pm and when I got there they had had no rain - it's all of 5 miles away!
Cold and dreary here today with a light shower. :(
Yeah cold and grey hard to believe i was sat on Avon beach mudeford last Saturday and it was absolutely roasting.
Saturday = depressing.....no bright sunshine.
It's the thought of another long, cold winter ahead. :(
Brighter and drier here today. :)
Same here with the winds added. ;D
Glorious out on the verandah this afternoon, - I promise to do the garden tomorrow!
Windy afternoon but pretty warm and a dash of sunshine here and there. (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-happy005.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
A dry mild afternoon with the winds picking up.
It sounds as if Friday and Saturday are going to be OK down south. :)
Looks like being a good gardening day
Another grey day, mild though :-\
Weather wise it's wonderful. Sun since early morning and it's still shining now. :)
A warmish Sunny day, just spent an afternoon in the pub garden with a Welsh workmates sort of leaving do. 8) 8) 8)
A chilly night on its way.....
northamptonshire is the same as it has been for months! dry and sunny cant remember the last time we had a good rainfall must have been very early in the year. We must be the dryest county in england!
Another lovely day - should get the last of the major jobs in the garden done today.
It's a beautiful morning here after a week of constant rain and greyness. Cold, though! Hope to get some digging done if the soil's not too wet.
Now to make the very best of a lovely sunny day.
Off to the plot!
A cold crisp morning with the Sun out early making it a lovey sunny afternoon. 8) 8) 8)
Second day without a cloud in the sky, lovely indeed.
What is this rain stuff people keep mentioning? Hardly any rain here since February.
Woke up this morning to the first frost of the year well solid ice on the windscreen of the car anyway.
Chilly through the night and a very heavy dew this morning. Now the sun's out and warming well. Another dry day.
Rain? We had that once... I think. ???
Weather here in sunny rotherham - El Scorchio!! Im sat on my south facing balcony with shirt off drinking a well earned beer! As i live and breath, the thermometer reads 35 deg.!!! In october?! Barmy!!
What must the plants make of it, i wonder? Never had nasturtiums bloom twice in same year?!
The spuds and corn have been lightly frosted; it must have happened over the last couple of days.
northampton we have rain!!!!! not for long i dont think. Never had to water brussels in october before, bout the size of marbles at the mo.
A chilly night by the feel of it. At this rate someone here will soon be nagging about turning the thermostat up. ::)
Warm with Sunny spells yesterday, but colder later with the winds really picking up. :o
Colder today with high winds. :'(
Good day for drying the washing. Not too good for tennis, sun in my eyes, and a bit windy, have put the heating on tonight (for the lovely cats, at me). ;D
The heating went on tonight! Up go the bills :( but I suppose it had to happen. ::)
Should be sunny tomorrow for a while at least - another good sunset. ;)
No heating on here yet im still in my shorts! Had about an hour of light rain last night but a bit windy today still no sign of rain for us :(
rain again ; hardly stopped all summer ( now where did that go) :(wel come to sunny cornwall liquid sunshine
Glorious sunshine again this morning
Blue sky and chilly out but promises a good day! :)
Blue sky and sunshine this morning :) Wind is a bit breezy :-\
Yesterday we had a good downpour - just the ticket. Today it is sunny but there is a nip in the air - 15 deg I think. AT least Iwon't have to water, the ground was pretty dry on Sunday but they had predicted rain so I played wait and see. Not much left now anyway - the beans are drying on the vine, the squash is in the cellar, the last of the raspberries are picked and eaten. I have only lamb's lettuce, winter spinach, leeks, brussels and green kale growing: there are a few parsnips but they were late sown and I dunno if they will be any good...
Blue sky and sunshine here too. A decent looking Autumn morning.
Just the thing for an emergency dash to my parents place - but they are fine - noting broken. :)

A bright Sunny day with the winds bringing the temperature down. :(
It's a chilly one tonight that's for sure.
I've just cycled home from my parents place having done the dinner and chores and seen my father safely into bed. A whole 3 hours off before I cycle back again for the night shift.
Thankfully no ice on the roads yet...

Sunset earlier and now a lovely clear sky...brrrrrr
The Sun was out all afternoon, chilly in the morning but livened up by the sun. 8) 8) 8)
We went to plant bulbs as the sun was out.
The new garden needed a trim. We trimmed nice and neatly and after smartening up the little low hedge along the path......... we dug it up! ::) Someone changed her mind.
Just as the last of the tall hedge bit the dust and landed in a pile for me to shred the sun went in so I have three jobs lined up for tomorrow as well as more large shrub roots to get out.
Do I know where the pick-axe is? (I think I might sidle off to the allotment. ;) )
More sun needed for Sunday.
Sunshine and a nice warm breeze to plant strawberry runners and weed :)
dry,dry,dry and windy, still no rain though >:( ground is like dust have given up watering its like the middle of summer but not as hot.
Still wearing shorts, daughter thinks im daft as its nearly november but its not cold enough for me to wear jeans yet

Fortunately our water hasn't yet been turned off at the plot yet, but yes.......the ground is still so dry, my strawberry runners will need at least another couple of dousings before they will be happy.
Haven't done shorts for years, my freckled legs are hidden to all ;D
Ninnyscrops
Sunday was just that - a sunny day - lovely and warm for the time of year.
Barrowfuls shredded and the front garden sorted apart from plonking in the wallflowers just as soon as I can get to the plot to lift them. Scarlet Bedder this year to make a change from the Siberian we had last year.
(Hopefully the wallflowers are coping with the dry spell) ???
Amazingly warm yesterday, rather hazy sunshine, spent the whole day on the edge of the cloud, it was blue about three miles East.
Very dry. They keep promising rain on the met office site but it disappears before it arrives. Last night was supposed to be wet, wrong, today was supposed to be wet, wrong, tonight was supposed to be heavy rain that has now also disappeared from the forecast.
Desparate for rain.
A dull day but dry for a change----tempis 12.2c so not cold

Sun's come out so I've put the washing out... :)
(I think I can be trusted to get that right... :-X )
A warm Sunny weekend with more of the same today, with the wind picking up a bit later. 8)

You're doing well. ;)
It's taken me more than 20 years to be able to hang the washing out and have it stay where I put in on the line.
Did you know certain things go at one end and certain things at the other? (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-chores011.gif) (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys.php)
It's all to do with how much sun you get at each end of the line.... apparently. ::)
(And even then the whole lot has to go in the tumble drier... but only in the
winter autumn and winter autumn winter and spring autumn, winter, spring and summer to air it before it goes in the airing cupboard. See... I'm learning.) ;)
It rained this afternoon and late evening. No washing out!!!!!! ;D
Cloud clearing and blue sky appearing but we really need some rain :'(
Rain overnight and sunshine now. Can't be bad! :)
Overnight showers, followed by a warm Sunny day today. 8) 8) 8)

OK. So who was it who said "Can't be bad"?
A huge damp patch on the ceiling above the fire place. :( And... someone waits until 5:30 in the evening to mention it. ::)
Dry tomorrow thank heavens.
Hope you get your damp patch sorted AR
Lovley and sunny so no gardening this afternoon, went out for last ride on the motorbike as the tax disc sent in for a refund.
Till next spring she can have a rest :)

Flipping drizzly here most of the day... so the damp patch isn't shrinking. ::) And.. looks like more rain overnight.
I love the idea of giving the bike a rest till Spring. I'm hoping to give my push-bike a holiday soon before the ice arrives. :(
A heavy shower this morning as I got into work, but brightened up to a warmish Sunny 8) afternoon.
It's pouring again but the damp patch on the new bungalow chimney breast doesn't seem to be growing.
The roofer discovered three broken tiles at the back of the chimney and replaced them with spares that I had. I think whoever fitted the satellite dish up there must have flipping big feet. >:(
Misssed most of the rain yesterday morning and afternoon, but started to rain from 4ish onwards and still drizzling now. :)
Heavy rain all night
Im about 8 miles from oxford
Can't make it's mind up here... had rain and now sunshine... :)
dry and sunny...temp 11.7c here in preston lancashire

I guess we shared the same large bout of rain then as it was here too. ::)
LARGE AMOUNTS OF DOWNPOURS GLOUCESTERSHIRE
I'm not far from Oxford about 25 miles, we had a few short sharp showers overnight followed by a warm morning with sunny intervals. As usually we are tiptoeing through the showers. Skies very grey but still very little rain in this part of Gloucestershire.
Thought tennis may be cancelled because of rain, but by 10.15 am it was OK and played until 12 am. All of us are retired and had a laugh, apart from when I slipped over and my leg sort of collapsed but wasn't hurt. Nothing stops us old folks playing tennis, and it is outdoors but the courts dry up very quickly, and then the sun came out. Rain forecast for tomorrow and I wanted to have a bonfire at the allotment, but hopefully it will stop the fireworks from frightening me and the animals.
We did have sun this morning :) but the clouds grew and then a thorough soaking all evening.... although I was too busy to keep a very close eye on the weather.
dry sunny 4.4c in preston
A great day although it would have been nicer if someone hadn't turned the light out quite so early. I had loads more to do!!!!
How do people in the very far north cope with so few hours daylight? :(

That is a very good way to save on the heating bills and keep the aches and pains away!
If only I could persuade my parents out of the door (or as far as the doorjamb) perhaps 21
oC would not feel
cold to them! It has to be 23 on the dot or it's "I don't think it's very warm in here".....
Sometimes I do get a headache. ::)
We have a couple of ladies at church with a fixation that the thermostat 'ought' to be set at 23, and constantly alter it. Trouble is, most of our people are Caribbean or African, some are elderly, and they've definitely not been selected for cold tolerance. So if I forget to put the temperature up again, they come in and complain that the heating isn't on.

Just spent an hour on the verandah with the newspaper in glorious warm sunshine, but it's one all hazy again now.
It was so very mild on the plot today I was shifting dung in a t-shirt ;D This time last year it was absolutely freezing.
Very mild here too. Digging on the plot saw first the coat hung up in the shed closely followed by the jumper too until the light began to fade and temperatures dipped a bit.
Still dry.....temp 7.3 c today but feels colder
Cool start but bright and dry reaching 12C... :)
The weather today in Ipswich has been mild and sunny; we had a visit to our allotments by forty plus 'reception class' pupils from our local primary school this morning and they had a great time looking round our allotments and the wildlife area and collecting fallen leaves and other 'treasures'. They also enjoyed feeding the chickens (by arrangements with Pat who owns the chickens) and we look forward to having them visit again in the Spring
Mild and Sunny here too
It was a high of 8 oc last year with a frosty start.

A beautiful autumn day but as soon as the sun dipped the heating went on :'(

Miserable day today in Enfield, couldn't be bothered to walk up to tennis, and decided the allotment would be depressing, so went to lovely Morrisons, to buy steak for dinner, and cooked blackberries from freezer from allotment (don't know what year) and cooking apples (last year) to make crumble and cream. Yum, yum. I hate these dark evenings, memo to myself, must get up early and go to allotment tomorrow. Depressed from Enfield.
Yesterday was lovely. The rain that crept up on me wasn't too heavy so I carried on gardening....hood up and water-proofs on.
Job completed. :)

12 oc but the wind really picked up about 11ish and seemed colder, it's meant to be 7oc tomorrow. :'(
how blowy was it last night ??? hope everyone up north are safe and well, that was a bit of a battering you all took especially in Scotland and Cumbria, only one thing for it that is to stay in mulled wine and mince pies.. 8)
took a battering last night, but wind has now calmed down, temp at present is
4.8c, it looks dark and damp outside def not a day to go to the allotmentide
Brilliant blue skies and sunny but still cold! :)
Blindingly bright sun shine at times..heavy downpours...black sky and rainbows ;D..sleet..freezing cold..and I've almost done my Christmas shopping fighting amongst all that..phew, hard work ::)
Dry but feels cold, sun keeps bobing out now and again, temp 4.9c
strong winds have gone now a lot calmer-must go to plot sunday to check
cabin is still standing-----fingers crossed ?
Frosty, but no breeze, and the soil was easily workable. A couple of days of continuous frost makes it go like concrete, and I can't get a fork into it.
Frosty start with the Sun out for most of the day. 8)
Dark damp day-no sun a slight breeze temp is 6.6c outside.
winds of 100mph forcast for the south of england next week !!

???Crazy weather all week high winds rain sleet, took me hours to clean up the garden. But poor old Scotland has taken a hiding so no complaints here
Heavy rain this afternoon.
5.4c is the temp at this moment-but feels colder
overcast-dry- no wind
gale force winds forecasted for thursday
4.8c windy
Sun, rain, hail, wind, rainbow, wind, rain, wind dropped, blue sky, sun shining now.
Yesterday did some rather soggy digging in cold sunny weather because the rest of the week in East Sussex is to be dreadful, and a storm certainly came down in the evening. But today was surprising sunny compared to the forecast of steady rain - perfect as it is the day our solar panels are finally connected and we can watch them making electricity for us!
Its never come light yet-more like 8.30 am a dark and damp day no overnight frost , at the moment its raining heavy with occ hail stones, temp is 3.7c and dropping
It's unexpectedly sunny again today, after a dark few hours, and the solar panels are not working! Cannot bear the waste!
Sunny first thing but it soon became dull.
YUK now it is snowing.
We are in the middle of hail storms the ground is covered in ice temperature not to bad , but very dangerous under foot, just checked heat in greenhouse we are supposed to have heavy frost later tonight :(
A mixture of sun, rain, wind and hailstones over the past few days. :o
Clear and cold. Patchy frost; there was ice round the church but none here half a mile away, and the allotments a mile in the other direction were frozen.
blue sky sun shine dry no wind temp is 4.4c
A bit milder today, I got a bit of digging done.
A lovely quiet night. Raining but just rain.
(The canvas cover on my potting shed should stay put. :) )
A Sunny milder day yesterday, getting dark too early though. ???
IT'S SNOWING ! :D
A lot of sleety stuff when I came home late last night, but I can't see any snow on the tops of the hills so it looks like we have escaped it this time.
Grey and damp here... but not rain/snowing yet.... :-X
at 6.15am this morning light rain, 6.45 am heavy snow and sleet, very chilly :o
the forecast is for snow, its a chilly 1.7c outside
just looked out and its snowing, big flakes at the moment
broooooooooooooooo
A feeble attempt to produce some snowflakes earlier, but it's cleared up now.
A very cold day with light rain as I left for work at 5.45
Turning to sleet by 6.30
Followed by a few snow flurry's which amounted to nothing
A few more light rain showers and stayed cold all day. :(
I'd just started digging when sleet stopped play.
Feels quite warm sitting here at 3 in the morning but the shot of whisky might have something to do with it.
After an entire day (and another plumber's visit) decided a wee while ago that the heating system in our Little Pink Bungalow really wasn't going to cope so....... now to break the news to everyone (especially my elderly parents) that no one will be moving in on Sunday as planned.
Oh the problems that will bring in the morning. :'( I am so sad about it after my parents trusted me and agreed to make the move to live across the road from me so I can better care for them.
A very cold day ahead tomorrow - especially when it comes to letting my sister know! And then it will heat up!!!!!
More whisky I think - "Things could be worse"......I suppose.
Yesterday we had a few hours on unexpected sunshine though it did not do much for the temperature. Certainly did not match the mini heatwave of Thursday. But now it is frosty.
Things are not going your way Aden Roller. Sounds as if you have been doing your best. Look on the bright side at least they did not move in and then the heating failed.
Hard frost this morning minus 3 here in oxfordshire.
its 2.1c here in preston, dureing the night it dropped to minus 1.7c
looking at the sky it could do anything today

Very true and we avoided my dad going out in the cold....my daily journeys continue though.
Here's hoping the ice stays away.
1.2C @ this moment, dropped down to minus -4.7c during the night
A cold but beautifully sunny day :) wind is a tad sharp!
Must have been nippy during the night. 1/2 inch of ice of the water butt. Lifted it up and found there were three inch fingers of ice in amazing patterns on the underside. I have never seen this before.
Went out in the car. It was lovely with the heating going full tilt.
I have put a lot of bindweed on the surface hopefully the frost will have dealt with it.
Another frost forecast tonight must get some washing out. I do love towels which have been frozen they go really soft and fluffy.
its raining, a temp of 2.6c in preston lancs
Raining here in oxfordshire to jim temp 3 degrees.
Three cheers its wet wet wet,

Happy Christmas to you!
its dull but dry out-with a temp of 12.4c and an overnight minimum temp of
11.0c
Its been raining here since last week the ground can not take any more water a small dry spell would not go amiss :'(
Another warm dull day here we have not seen the sun since Thursday. Max 12C.
A bit of drizzle here and there. We still need rain - lots of it.
not quite as mild here, its 9.0c in preston lancashire, but still not bad fore the end of december
Windy with squally showers. Feels cold in the wind.
windy, raining off and on, a miserable day...temp is 7.7c
wind has dropped-at last-damp and cold...temp at the moment is 6.4c over night low of 4.0c so no frost !!
Cornwall ... down on the Lizard ..... FOG and Cornish mizzle .
Whereabouts on the Lizard? Presumably you're not on serpentine, since the soil there's too alkaline to grow very much.
Another damp, and cold day. Just read 2nd warmest year since records began they want to start taking them in Wales and my gas bill does not say its been warm ;D
a bit milder @ 10.6c----dry but feels damp and its dark looking out side
A fairly mild and non stop drizzle grey day. Not very inspiring.
So far a good start to the New Year. Have a great one everyone. :)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all
temp is 8.3c and raining, a good day for house work
Just been out for walk and its steady drizzle out there. :'(
temp dropping day by day, high winds-heavy rain forecast for tues, getting colder temp here is 5.2c and dry for a change
nice and sunny- been for a bike ride and just warm enough in (unheated) conservatory for lunch ;D
Glorious sunshine, cold outside, needed to wear a hat, but here in my south facing room, I've had to draw the blinds I was so hot in the sunshine.
It should give my mixed salad seedlings a good boost.

DUCHESS :o ;D
Woke up to a frost, but then sunshine all day (after yesterday's soaking weather!). A clear sky tonight but waiting for the predicted winds and rain :(
Blowing a hoolie, marooned on an island, some ferries have chickened out. Best go back to bed.
Bit breezy here too! Indoor day.
Blimey...monsoon has arrived. :o Rain is not strong enough word to describe how much wet stuff is coming down..nor pouring down. Its more like sky size waterfall.. :o
Nature is definately doing its balancing act today. Looks like we are getting all summers worth of rain today.. ::)..just little bit of it would have been helpful couple of months ago.
Well..indoors it is today..even best of the rain gear won't cope with this.
Similar here :'(

Similar here :'(
And here in Northants too, mixed in a bit of hail just now. Foul. Must check the windows. Drainpipes can't cope and it is all just gushing down off the roof. Howling gale too.
the rain was horizontal this morning ??? as was the Silver Birch at the end of the garden :(
Am so annoyed . Had to stay in all day yesterday waiting for someone to repair front door when I could have been on the allotment . So ordering some seeds today to add to my vast collection which now runs to 4 icecream boxes.
wind dropping-dry--temp 7.0c
Stay safe those of you in Scotland or Northern Ireland :-\ It looks pretty awful up and over there!
The weather today was :o
When the flat roof over the garage flooded, it reminded me I hadn't cleared the fallen leaves from the drainer in the corner ::)
When the newly made, this autumn, pallet topper back fence blew down, it reminded me I hadn't banged in the nails on the diagonal to the uprights ::)
When the puddles on the front drive paving stones on the passenger side of the car were up to the welts on the shoes, it reminded me I hadn't levelled them in the autumn ::)
The weather is a great reminder :)
Ninnys
I must go and check the allotment tomorrow :-\ I wanted to do it today but the weather was so awful.
Duke
dreading going to see what damage has been done from yesterday,I got a e-mail that our lotty was hit by a TORNADO! :'(it was to late last night to go and see the damage, was told that at lest 12 sheds were fire wood! the weather was awfull we live in a small village ,I don't know if anyones been hurt,will keep yous informed of the damage we;er going down soon.
We are to be hit by more rain and 75mph winds to night here in the north west
so its batten down the hatches and pray. its all quiet at the moment just raining no wind, the temp is 6.1c The river Ribble wich runs down the side of the allotments must be high with all the rain so lets hope it dont flood over
fingers crossed.jim
Very gusty here through Wednesday but drier.
We'll see what Thursday brings. ::)
Horrible morning, horrendous wind and just started to rain heavily (just as the children are walking to school). As far as I can see only one 4ft fencing panel down, but as that is only a panel that divides part of the garden it can stay down until the weather improves :(
seriously blowy, the cat nearly went over as she was having her mad 5 minutes running up and down the garden, and there are plenty of fences down..I hope it dies down by Saturday :)
The wind blew the top glass of my bay window in the kitchen last night !!
not as windy-thank god, temp is 7.3c with an overnight low of 5.0c
so im off to get plywood as a temp repair for the window ba****d wind.
Very windy here no damage so far spent the morning at a friends house which was fun as there was a load of workmen trying to do some work on the roof were not sure what there up to there either fitting solar panels or adding skylight. Seam to be using more than there own body weight in rope to hold themsleves onto to roof at the moment than doing anything else :)
Windy, wet this morning, but it's a bit milder.
A dark looking day in preston, temp is 7.3c drizzle rain -NO WIND
Dryer thismorning back to showers by mid day still very cold :(
Dry and cold with the sun out for most of the day warming up as the day went on. 8)

Not a bad Sunday - dry and mild.
A little late but just about to fix the flower-boxes onto the new bungalow's front wall before it gets too dark.
Stopped raining at the moment, sky dark so more to come. With a temp of
8.5c its quit mild compaired to last year at this time.

Frost last night. Grass very white first thing. Did not melt until nearly 11. But lovely and sunny now.
Heavy frost here did not melt till gone 11 :( Looks like the car is going to get put away again in the garage for a while.
Lovely...just think the garlic might actually split into cloves.
Light frost to start which cleared quickly, 6C and sunshine all day long. Working on the plot in the sun it felt like spring, birds singing and sun shining. ;D
As above, frosty start, 7oC, Sunny day 8) first time properly on the plot since the end of November, me mate Robin appeared and was looking for a bit of worm tucker. :D
cold start made picking up dog very easy ::) Had seeds from T/M was going good guns opened packed and no seeds ;D never mind :) Gritter was around about 5/20 you can just see the frost on the car now so its a cold one for us ;D
Lovely day today, although a bit cold in sunny Enfield, played tennis outdoors between 10 am till 12 am, but did keep my jumper, fleece, coat on, one glove and scarf. Was going to the allotment this afternoon but decided to finish my 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with the heating on. Long walk tomorrow. Allotment will still be there on Sunday, I hope.
7pm and the wooden table outside looks like its covered in glitter i had a look at one of the weather sites and they were saying it was going to be -5 !! ouch

Light rain, dreach, and a lazy cold (it goes right through you) Spent an hour on plot, planted rhubarb and redcurrant bush. Was hoping to do some digging, decided it was too cold. Mrs meter rat decided it must be cold if I'm feeling the cold. Sent me shopping to warm me up. Pub was warm ;D.

We did have a little snow this afternoon, just after we got to the allotment ;D.
Other than a little snow, it was very cold in Derby today >:(
-1 all day and a bit of snow then sleet in the morning happened to be taking harriet out of the car as the snow hit and she grinned said snow and tried to catch some :)
Icy windscreen on the car at 8 o'clock tonight :(
Ninnys
Cold, overcast, no frost and a chill wind. It was claring tonight, so it's probably freezing hard by this time.
Very cold and frosty
Clear and cold... but not ridiculously so :)
-2C. Clear out the back. Dull out the front. Took my sweet peas in last night but it was not necessary. It was wind still first thing, but it is starting to increase so I think it will begin to feel cooler.
Freezing overnight, beautiful sunshine this morning, lovely :)
eel fay fwah oh jord wee
-2c and all birdbaths were well frozen though not completely solid (my gauge of how cold the night has been).
Suns out, and I'm stuck in the office :'(. Hope the cold weather remains, going ice climbing in Scotland next week. Some more snow would be good up there. :)
Cold day here up here in the north, its dry with occasional sunshine and a slight wind..temp is 0.5c....forecasters predict by Monday daytime temp temp back up to 8c but nightime frost.
Brass Monkeys, with the Sunshine 8) trying to take the edge off the freezing winds. :o
Just got back from the allotment after rough digging a few rows. The wind and the frosts these last few days have really dried out the soil making it a lot easier to work. Cheers, Tony.
Clear and cold. Ordinary cold, not like last winter. I didn't get to the plot as I've been helping with the Food Bank.
Like Kev said Brass Monkeys had to use deice,er on greenhouse runners :(
The coldest two days we've had this winter but the daffs are out in the front garden :)
A sign of Spring on the way. :)
temp was down to -4.6c last night at present its -1.8c....dry...no wind...sun trying to shine
Been snowing all morning, kids sent home from school and down to -10 tonight - come to sunny Spain!
Checked the local Met Office observation station this morning at 8.30 and it was -4.3
Stayed in and made marmalade.
Same as yesterday, pretty dam cold. :'(
High of 1oC with -4oC over night.
So pleased not to have to cycle 4 times a day in this. :)
A brisk 50 paces and I'm there at my parents place where 20oC is "chilly in here!" (apparently). ::)

Daughter in Germany has - 15 and frozen hot water pipes.
Nasty freezing forecast here in East Sussex.
Bloody freezing here in France. They say in the Eastern parts they have -20 C!!!! This morning seemed less cold than yesterday, was about -4 last night and around freezing today, They say we will get about -8 this weekend! Bugger the allotment in this weather!
Glorious blue sky & sunshine, but bitterly cold & dry so no visible frost this morning except the pond is frozen over so it was well below last night -3 when I came home at midnight.
-5c last night and -4c at the moment blue sky and sunshine, looks nice through the window-cold forecast for to night-10c and snow saturday
2 oc most of the week with Sunshine. 8)
very cold and wet day...no snow as forecasted-just rain
temp -1.3c
4"/10cm of snow fell from 4pm yesterday but none since. Temps down to -15C overnight and up to -8C today. It's bright and sunny and beautiful but the easterly wind makes it perishing.
Rasta doggy loves it and has been for a 3 hour tramp around with OH. One cat quite likes dry snow and has been out to play. The other lasted 5 seconds and scarpered back indoors. Loads of birds feeding so OH is off to stock up on supllies. Belgian bird count this weekend.
I'm stuck indors with a trapped nerve making my arm and shoulder very painful. Very frustrating.
Very cold with a frosty morning, I've just come back from the lottie with frozen feet. :'(
Snowing here in the North East, bah...
roll on April.... ::)
Been snowing here in North Birmingham for about an hour now.
Cold, grey day. Some rain and drizzle, ground still frozen.
Snowing here for the last hour and looks like it's settling.
We've had a heavy frost and minus 10 temperature for the last few days. Drfinitely unusual. Taday's rain (cornish sunshine) makes it a more normal type of weather.
Snowing for an hour and a half... but hardly any depth... :-X
I used to live in Chaddo til I joind the Navy.
The weather in Stortford is very cold but no snow
Yet. :D
It was -10 last night and -8 when I went out this morning. The most beautiful of sunrises the red sun made the frost look pink.
By 12 oclock the temperature was a balmy 3C. Now it is snowing gently. But with a nice real fire buring in the grate and a hot water bottle it does not seem to be so cold.
Cold >:( snowing :o just putting another log on the fire ;D
We haven't lost the road yet... but it's going down! :-X
A VERY light dusting & it's stopped snowing now.
Had about 3.5" snow and still coming down heavy ::)
The kids will be happy tomorrow :D
About 3 inches of snow and still coming down fast guess who will be on sledge pulling duty tomorrow. ;D
Snow stopped here now too. Only a centimetre, the snowman tomorrow will be very small.
Macclesfield has 6" Snow lying around. Now is a clear evening..
no snow here yet in liverpool :( although the night sky does look 'snowy' so hope its there when we wake tmrw,hopefully it will cancel our committee meeting ;) (kidding)
About an inch and a half and still falling........
Well it started to snow at 6.55pm and has not stopped were on at least 4 inches and i have a huge snowdrift up the side of the house on the garage wall.
Some bits are easily 6 inches Harriets 1st snowman here we come !
how exciting cam,have fun ;D
Carrot and coals at the ready Cam?
Pickies expected too :)
Ninny x
I remember my sons first experience of snow. He was so excited and got very frustated with my efforts to wrap him up warm. Out he rushed and picked up a handful and in total disgust declared that it was cold and wet.
Ours is already melting it will not last for long. 1C. Week sunshine.
here in the east midlands we have plenty of snow, looks fab, might take the dog out for a walk the dog loves it? :)
North East is very cold and icy. The snow that fell yesterday has frozen so all the roads and paths are frozen. As usual, not a single grain of grit has been put down, Gateshead Council must have the best grit retention rates in the UK....
What little we had is melting fast.
It started here about 6.30pm yesterday, we were going out for a chinese for a family meal and by the time we were on our way back it was inches deep, slow and slippery drive on the way home, with no sight of an idiot driver which is unusual. It is up to 8inches deep in some places in the back garden.
Pretty as it looks and the kid will want to build a snowman later, I know it will cause nightmares at work, the schools and travel in general, as this aint gonna melt for days on end. :-\ :(
No snow at all in preston lancs, as we live in the ribble vally wich is sheltered by the pennine hills to the east-we have had 1" of snow in dec but it soon melted away
the temp is 4.4c at the moment..damp no wind.
The snow stared last night !6 inches the first we've,I had put my new wellies on and cleared the path and bird table, that was enough for me ;D
I've just been out the front to clear my path and the road in front of our drop kerb, its quite mild out there and its starting to falll from the trees already. :D
We have about 3" and it's starting to melt from the trees... The fun will be tomorrow if it freezes under the snow overnight! :)
After a dull start sun is shining-blue sky
We've got 6" been out and measured while I was replenishing bird feeders. I discovered that if I used my son's size 10 wellies I didn't need to take off my slipper socks to get out there.
Hope it don't freeze tonight still plenty a snow about in Notts. :(
Ipswich - was snow overnight - 4.5 inches deep. No more snow during the day and some melting, long icicles on the nearby railway arch
Beautiful sunny day, 10 degrees , still a bit soggy underfoot as it rains a lot in our part of Canada but not for a week. We had a couple of days of snow about three weeks ago, about an inch or so but that is all we have seen this year.

Lichfield a very slushy place to be this morning :)
Snowy, Icy, Foggy, Slippy and very cold here in Lincolnshire
dry and sun shine a lot milder than late 4.0c sunset time 16:58 pm
day light lengh 9 hrs 26 mins and 11 secs
Milder with loads of mush here, lets hope it doesn't freeze tonight. ::)
agreed i have to be out tomorrow in my car at 7.30am down fen roads for 20 mile with car sized ditches either side :(
Felt quite mild, bit of a grey day with some bright bits mixed in.
Another beautiful sunny day, 11 degrees.
XX Jeannine
The big thaw is into its second day. Still bitterly cold at night, not a lot happening in the garden ground to hard to dig up any leeks bought a few in tescos today terrible price will enjoy them even more in my cawl tommorow ;D ;D
It's surprising what a difference a few miles makes. When we let for work this morning the snow here had not melted at all, but when we got to Leeds about 10 miles away it had thawed completely.
blue sky...sunshine... temp...4.2c
Cold start, Sunny afternoon with the snow melting away. 8)
Very mild no wind just a great day went to put tools and some plants back in the greenhouse 20 minutes ago and its going a bit damp. Weather is supposed to changing from tonight more heavy frosts and cold winds :(
A good belt of sunshine helped me ignore the almost freezing temperatures until they dipped a little more.
Presently it is -6oC so I'm thankful my late evening visit to see my parents will take me no more than 50 paces across the road instead of a 2 mile round cycle ride. :)
blue sky...sunshine...temp of 3.2c and no snow at all.,,,sunset time 17:02 pm
Frosty last night. The wind today is a bit keen to be comfortable, but the sunshine is gorgeous ;D
-8 last night, still below 0, slight wind - absolutely freezing and very foggy. Walked home from town and back into town to get car from MOT - at least that was good news. Just can't get warm at the moment sat in front of a heater :( Need another hot drink .....
Snow still on the ground, still very slippy under foot, very cold, cloudy, more snow forecast for tomorrow night and Friday.
Proper brass monkeys today, on the way home from work I spotted a pengiun with a wooly hat on. :o :D
Funny that Kev, but it is lovely and warm in my house today. Nice in bed with tea and biscuits at 10 am, so lucky that I am retired, a bit boring no allotment and no tennis, had to do ironing today, first time in two years, and may have to wash the kitchen floor. Can't wait to go to the lovely allotment and speak to my lovely friends.
It is proper taters here in Sarf London - looking forward to my bike ride home!
It was cloudy dull and about 1C all day. The forecast sunshine did not appear. Though last night when I staggered home from the pub there was a lovely full moon and fantastic filigree work by Jack Frost on the car windscreen.
The forecast now shows no sunshine for the next five days. Lets hope it is wrong.
The wind was cutting bitterly cold. Went shopping 2 nice faggots of the market soaked peas nice new pots, and a fresh french stick . Me and the cat slept well after that lot :P ::) ;D
Our rain has come back but temps are still 9 so that is Ok, it was nice to see the lovely sun for a few days though..rain for 4 days they say then the sun comes back.
XX Jeannine
Very much warmer here this morning and, at last, the sun is making an effort to appear.
Here's hoping my parent's central heating boiler can have a breather having run constantly day and night to keep them at 20oC for the last few days.
Its bl***y cold brass monkey weather....-1.3c...got down to -5c last night but no snow or ice lying around. Dull sky and dry here in Preston Lancashire
roll on spring
We still have the snow. and it is bitter. Pavements are like icerinks here. In town they are clear though and it is easier getting about. More snow tomorrow .............. ah well ... :)
Still cold here with all the roads and most of the pavements clear, just some lazy feckers not clearing their fronts. :(
All clear here but rain forcast for tonight and 4" of snow tomorrow good job rugby stadium has a roof 8) ;D ;D
Been snowing since 3.00pm here in Lincs!
Just started snowing here in North Herts which is a royal pain in the a**e as we have only just cleared the snow on the lottie to start clearing and digging :( :'(
temp dropped sharply. Every fire in the house on. No prizes for where the cat is ;D ;D No snow yet.
It's snowing here it not so sunny Enfield, but don't it is going to settle. Cats in and asleep.
It's been snowing on and off in Derby since 4pm. Also had hail and sleet.
Cats have been in most of the day :) They aren't that daft ;D
Snow began at 9:30 Thursday evening but it feels warmer and looks lovely.
My father is worried about the snow - heavens knows why as he is unlikely to go out side until the temperatures lift to the high teens and I'm only across the road these days!! ::)
He's gone to bed with the central heating set at 20 and the under-blanket on too. :o
As Borlotti said, it was snowing lightly yesterday evening, there's a thin layer on the cars, grass and shrubbery but the roads and pavements look OK, I'm out to work soon so I'll find out. ???
Safe journey cornykev. It doesn't look too thick here either.
As you say it's settled but not on all of the paths and roads. I'm sure it feels warmer.
Light snow here but I think it is very slippery underneath it. The first bit fell as rain onto frozen ground.
I always think that a layer of snow on the roof keeps the house nice and warm.
Inch of snow here in Guildford
Only a dusting here... but still trying. :-X
Started snowing whilst I was out last night - about an inch. Nightmare journey home through country lanes & my road has a short steep hill on a bend with parked cars leaving just enough room to get through, nearly slid into a car,stalled the engine & had the devils own job to get up the rest of the hill to go the final 100 yards to my driveway.
It looks very pretty out there this morning though with the sun just emerging!
No snow here but Tony cannot get the ice off the car windows. Even with de icer. It's taken him ages to make it safe enough to drive. Its a hospital appt so he has to go.
no snow at all, we are getting away with winter very nicely here
its dry and dull temp of 3.6c sunset time 17:05 pm
About 3 to 5 cm of snow here in Lincolnshire. Time for some hot chocolate...
(http://i1155.photobucket.com/albums/p554/NumberSixG12/IMG_3563_edited-1E.jpg)
-3 at 6.05pm here in Lincs, going to be a cold night. Snow and ice still on the ground, main roads are clear of snow, not very good under foot again, it will be worse tomorrow after it's frozen overnight!

It
looks beautiful - thanks for sharing the photo.
Our dusting arrived late yesterday evening and, apart from one small corner of a lawn, was gone my mid morning. Not that I'm complaining!!
I hung some towels out tonight - if the foxes don't play with them I'm hoping the breeze will have dried them a little by mid afternoon tomorrow. ::)
Well its meant to get down to -5c tonight here and the local weather station said -9c at 8pm.. so It'll be chill tonight but the day was absolutely beautiful and I dug 4lb of carrots up and tucked more fleece over the rest ;D
Clear night -10C and counting...
Poor little birdies -13C at 7am
-10 outside, here, at 8.30am. And only 3.3 inside, in the kitchen, BRRRRRRRRR! Then found the heating hadn't come on, overloaded some of the electricity circuit trying to heat ourselves, and the kettle, etc! But have just been out and fed the birds. About to eat big bowl of steaming porridge!
Just been outside ... birdbaths frozen solid which means it's well cold. Saw a gang of Fieldfare and redwings making light work of stripping a berry bearing tree in the front garden. And some brass monkeys looking for welders ....
-8 at 07.00 but a lovely sunny day now. Looks like next week is set to be virtually frost free!!
Fingers crossed!
-10 here as well. But nice blue skies this morning.
What happened to the lovely snowy pic of Lincolnshire?
-8 here in Harrow too. I went to feed and water the chickens and couldn't get into the allotment - the locks had frozen solid. Eventually managed to warm one up enough to work, by which time the chooks were becoming extremely indignant!
For the first time this winter, I reckon I'll need to go back at lunchtime with fresh water to replace the iced up drinker. No chance of the taps on site working.
Cold frosty morning here with the Sun out now, going to defrost the windowscreen and do the shopping. 8)
-13.5C on the remote thermometre. Must be wrong! Actually no! - a laboratory thermometre says -13.6C at 8 in the morning! The news just said that other locations were -16C.
This is the coldest for some years. Don't suppose my greenhouse winter veg will survive that or the stuff under cloches :( although the snow layer may just protect a bit. We'll see ...
Another year when the PSB perishes I guess. Hope the kales will survive. Our weather is definitely on the change, this is the third year with very cold winter temperatures.
last night - 5.8c temp at moment 0.2c very dull. 10 day forecast says temps of 7 or 8 no night frosts
lost all my winter caulies and the cabbages are looking sorry for them selfs aswell, -9 on my thermometer.
It was lovely on the seafront this afternoon! My son took us off for a coffee and it turned into a very late lunch / early dinner in a seafront cafe.
It was a joy to be out and about after months of looking after my parents and the first time I've been to the seafront for ages!!
Cold? Yep but better described as bracing. Lots of other people out too.
I was on the seafront at Dunbar yesterday too and that was quite delightful.
Funny thing is that it has been much warmer here in Edinburgh and there has been virtually no snow!!
Waking up to +3 this morning. Beats yesterdays -8
its an overcoat warmer to day than of late.....temp of 5.4c...and said to get better in the week ahead [ 7 or 8c ] is forecast for the north west of England.
And a positively balmy +4 here, but still had to use a sledge hammer to break up the ice on the garden pond (trying to save the frogs - lost a few under ice last year).
It's 6.30p.m. and still +5 degrees!!
Will have to call the air conditioning repair man if it carries on like this.
Sorry all over the 7 bridge been reasonably mild here during the past 4 days night temp below freezing but over all very lucky with the weather so far
Milder today and snow thawing gently. PSB looks ok but need to straighten up some stakes. My roof thermometer on the solar panels said -8c last night but it was around -12c in this area. Haven't dared look under the fleece at the carrots.. Curly kale fine and so are the peas on the bench in the poly. it when the freeze lasts week like last year that the damage is done.
Feels like spring this morning. Yesterday was a bit hairy, had to go out and even the 4x4 done a gracefull pirouette on some black ice. My backside was going shilling, sixpence shilling, sixpence for a while. Managed to regain control and decided what I had to do was not that important and went home.
its a barmy 5.4c this morning, looks a bit dampish and dull outside, but no over night frost.
Edit...its now a silly 7.4c outside !!
A little light rain this evening and generally much warmer here today...(Monday) and set to get warmer still on Wednesday.
Anyone else notice the evening was slower to draw in as well? It was light here until nearly 5:30pm. :)
(http://www.tiptopglobe.com/skin/smile/s3316.gif) (http://www.tiptopglobe.com/free-smiles-smileys-emoticons-blog-forum-email)
with a sunset time of 16:17 pm and a day lengh of 9hrs 55mins things are getting better, and only 5 weeks to the 1st of spring. At the moment its 7.7c..dull but dry and a slight wind.
Sunshine, dry, but rain recast later. a temp o 9.3c with an over night low of 5c at he moment.[
Mostly a grey day, some rain and blustery.
Lovely dry sunny day, washing dried on the line but it will be damp again in a while if she don't come home soon and take it in.
Rather lovely here - warm, dry and sunny.
Best day this year so far. :)
Sunny spells but a bit blustery. ;D ;D
The last 2 days have been really nice sun has been out wind is cold at times, Lost half my broad beans over the weekend very cold wind. Not sure if I will plant anymore :(
8.1c dry at the moment and cloudy.
edit.....its started raining
Grey, no rain-yet!
dry with sunshine..temp 9.3c..sunset 17:18pm..daylight 10hrs 5mins
Almost reached 11c here today, and with no wind it was quite pleasant. Bit cooler forecast for Sunday then warmer again!!
Warm here in sunny Enfield, went to the allotment with gloves, scarf and coat, and after some digging got very warm, but not warm enough for a tee shirt, but a nice day, and lovely to get out of the house, dug up some leeks, very small but very tasty.
sun blazeing down its , a lovely day...temp a bit down on previos days but not bad at 6.2c. Going down to the allotment to sow onions and broad beans in cell trays
Rain came through as predicted and cleared by 1 o'clock. Now sunny and 6 degrees. wind's dropped a bit as well so it's quite pleasant.
A different day from yesterday, wet and windy after midday. :'(
Very mixed- cold and windy, sunny one minute and raining the next- had a few nice rainbows!
wall to wall sunshine after last nights frost, but rain forecast from monday and rest of the week. a temp of 5.5c at the moment
Cold and dry over here in my part of the East Mids, hopefully with the forecast saying that it is going to be dry this week, next weekend for me it will be sowing my leeks in pots and keeping in doors, then I will be on the lotty at the weekend with the rotovator, at the same time the Broad beans will go straight in to the ground, that's my first job done, :)
a temp of 7.3c in preston, raining
Overcast, never got above 6C, biting cold wind too, but no rain. Unpleasant day for being outside.
Cold frosty start, with a Sunny afternoon. 8)
Heavy frost this morning sun came out about 11/oclock but still had that very cold wind ;D
Did a lot yesterday but felt the wind today and shelved plans for plan B- :(washing and shopping. Hope tomorrow is better. Have a lot to do and I go slower than most. Fixing up irrigation system for poly. Not as posh as some of you others can fix but hopefully an upgrade on what went before. yesterday we found what had been nicking the peas.. dead. Gotcha one rat ;D
well would you believe it !! its 10.3c, no wind or sunshine but its dry.
Sunny this morning and lovely blue sky whilst playing tennis. Got colder now. Thursday is meant to be hot, so a day at the allotment would be good, and maybe I can get OH to do some pruning of my apple tree and mend my bean support and rotavate etc. etc.
Anybody with rain can direct it down here please. We might even get 18C on Friday...good for my day at the allotment but it may mean there is no point without the rain. Soil in my raised beds is dry...not looking good :(
Overcast most of the day 10c ,drizzling when i came back from the plot.
Shirt sleeve weather this morning!
A lovely sunny day here- shame i was at work but at least I didn't get cold or wet waiting for a bus.
Frosty start but the sun came out early. But rain this afternoon so not a lot done :)
We have been newly designated a drought area. But the soil is too soggy to dig.....East Sussex. Windy and warmish.

Thank you what a fantastic response I have to my request!!
It's raining hard. I have to go into town soon and all the non-gardeners will be there whingeing about the rain (rainfall in Cambridge for last year c.360mm and we get less than they do) they'll be saying (as usual) it's horrible it's always raining.

Kea,
Yes it rained here too - at long last, for a while. Strong wind from the South and the rain felt like needles on my cheeks. Got soaked on my way home. Later a bit more drizzle, but nothing substantial. At the moment cloudy, with occasional sunny bits.
We have been told that a hosepipe ban from March onwards is now all but inevitable on LookEast, our local BBC programme, alongside pictures of reservoirs that are well depleted. Usually we have very heavy winter rains, which stayed away these last two years.
Sorry this isn't as much 'weather today' as 'long term climate' in our part of the country. Any advice on water saving veg gardening appreciated.

A dull, grey cloudy start with a lovely Sunny afternoon. 8)
Today was a bit of a disappointment after Wednesdays mini-heat wave... but it wasn't really at all bad for the end of February. ;)
Fine, warm and breezy... got some bedding out to dry... now going onto the lottie :)
The sun is shining and its off to the allotment soon. Accordingly to the paper March is going to be very hot.
Which paper was it? I haven't seen any today as I've been at work.
What a beautiful day ;D
Come on Borlotti, spill the beans!!
Wow, 2 sunny days in a row, bliss ;D

A very misty murky night here... can hardly see from one side of the road to the other!!
A couple of dull cloudy days here. ::)
Lovely sunshine here right now. :)
13.2c here in the north west, sun now gone in, cloudy
Kev, how can you say that. A beautiful sunny day here today in Enfield, but I suppose I don't get up until 10 am, as I don't have to work. ;D ;D ;D ;D and I get tea in bed. ;D ;D Allotment tomorrow I hope, not today as grandchildren at weekend so had to tidy up (a bit) and go to lovely Morrisons and struggle home with all the food.
As the ol bird said a lovely Sunny day today but at 5.22am it looked a tad dull. 8)
Really foggy here in oxfordshire this morning and lovely sunshine this afternoon, but the rains a coming for the weekend people.

Cold but sunny again... :)
Tuesday - lovely sunshine and pretty warm too.
Wednesday - rain forecast so I guess down here in the parched (?) south we should be grateful but it would be good if I could organise my "free days" to coincide with the dry sunny days and not the wet ones. ::)
Allotment visit on hold.....again
WET :-X
After a few sunny days wind and rain today.
Cold grey and windy rain on its way, water butts nearly at capacity :P

Grey start but may brighten up... :)

It did brighten up but like me it's going grey, again... :'(

Another good day - the birds were singing their hearts out this evening so there's promise in the air.
I will be so pleased to see the drab, long dark days fade.
Looks like we're in for a mild week-end. Working today, but tomorrows definitely a lottie day.
It's already nearly 10 degrees and it's only 9.30a.m.
Time to get some seeds in!!
10.0c here in preston, forecast is good for the week so its time to get started on thr allotment, so its spuds, broadbeans and onion sets to day
Grey and miserable... and the weather isn't much better... but at least it's dry... :-X
Brilliant.... grey at 7am but it's grown progressively better through the day.
A lovely sunny afternoon to be in the greenhouse, equipped with the pond net to help the bumble bees on their correct journeys ;D

Murky mist here this evening - it came rolling over the bungalow opposite us and shrouded everything in dampness.
A good belt of rain would have been more appreciated. ::)
A fine day yesterday with Sunny spells. 8)
Can't see a thing, foghorns sounding in the Solent, what a mournful sound. Might as well go back to bed as the ferries will not be running for an hour or two.

Cloudy all day 14 oc :)
Was a dull start to the day but then the sun shone for a few hours. Doesnt it make life worth living? Then it clouded over again. Supposed to be same tomorrow, anyway as long as it is fine I'm going to be hard at work on my allotment. What about you?
P.S Here in North West Lancashire.
Sunny spells yesterday. 8)
It was 2pm before the sun came through yesterday. Very foggy this morning but hopefully the sun will break rather sooner today.

Bikini weather at the allotment today. Heating on now. Just waiting for the nasty comment from Kev.
bits of sunshine, dry, but forecast says drizzle pm and a high of 11c, its 9.9c at the moment. made plans for the allotment, but the drizzle bit may put me off.
Dull and cloudy today, I heard that the lotties on Borlotti's site asked if she could wear her bikini again as it kept the pigeons away yesterday. :-X ;)
Cold and grey here too
What a grey day.
No sun in the south but it wasn't too chilly.
Looked like rain at one point but the washing dried. ;D
Rain.................again, and forecast for the next two weeks, plots are flooded again

Miserable wet day, and a miserable old lady who picks up her convertible this morning with her raybans and silk headscarf and can't go and show off with the lid down. Dog ain't happy either as his walkies will be a charge around the coffee table.
Rain. Great ;D ;D
Can't remember when we had more than a bit of drizzle. It has stopped and is brightening up here now, so presume it will clear the isle of wight soon.
Every drop is really needed here.
Apart from Wednesday afternoon it has been very dull here all week.
Rain :) I recon it was waiting for the hosepipe ban to be announced and it will now rain for ever !

Morning stated WET..and we had some big white 'tissues' coming down from sky as well..brrr..wet and cold.
Now few hours later its sunshine.. ::)
I aint going to lottie today its indoors day for me..maybe sowing few seeds if I feel like it. Rest day today and full steam ahead tommorrow.. ;D
Wet start... sunny now... got the washing out.. :)
Wet yesterday, a lovely Sunny early morning today, clouded over and threatening to rain now. :-\
Here's the good news the sky is blue blue blue.

A whistle-stop tour of the garden and a belt across the road to see how my greenhouse is doing as he's always interested... then back inside quick because it was chilly out of the sun.
Cloudy morning, gorgeous sunny afternoon :)

Thunderous persistent down pours here for the last three weeks threatening flooding! And... the hosepipe ban is being lifted.
Fat chance ::)
I'm not complaining - the sun is lovely and it's been warm since 6am this morning. ;)
Cool start this morning, but climbed above 20C for the first time this year at the local Met Station at 2 pm.
Due to cool down over the next few days

High cloud and breezy. Only 10C at mid-day...... Must be the start of autumn, summers over!!
Gorgeous down in the garden of England! :)
I went and bought some compost this morning, I got some new lillies the other day and need to pot them up! Some of the old ones have passed their best so need sorting out too!
I also saw a growhouse in Homebase that's half price......umm methinks I need a lift from OH later as he has a bigger car that it will fit in! ;)
Walked the doggy - popped into see a friend and another friend turned up , so we had a nice chat and a sit in the sun!
Oh - and I went swimming first thing too!
So not too much gardening as it's just too hot - but down the lottie tomorrow spud planting come what may! ;D
Started cool and breezy... nice now the sun has got out.. :)
Another Sunny one 8)
Dull and cloudy today. :-\
Grey overcast 8 degrees :'( I think Its my fault for the change in weather as we had a bbq for a friends birthday today ::)
COLD! :(
Colder than of late and overcast. :'(
So cold have light the fire :-X
Cold and icy winds...Brrr freezing, poor plants will be wondering what mummy is playing at hahaha
Surprisingly warm indoors this evening considering there's a slight chill out and our central heating motorised valve is stuck on hot water only. ::)
Started dull and showery-a bit sad after all the beautiful warm sunshine of late, but the gardens need the rain! It did brighten up and the sun came up but it was much cooler than the last few days have been. Apparently it's going to snow this week!
Just home from work car says its 0.5 degrees outside and looking at all the frost on the cars i am not surprised. I gave a few people a lift home as they were caught out by the drop in temp and did not have warm enough clothes.
Off to bed now but looking out the window plants look like there ok :)
Brrr...cold. Beautiful sun shine and white frost all over.. ::)
Dull and cloudy all day yesterday, but sunshine this morning :)
Blue skies with Sunshine, 8) we'll see what the rest of the day brings. 8)

No frost that I noticed but nice out now... :)
9oC overnight in the unheated conservatory and, although sunny, it's no where near as warm as last week. :(
Frost this morning enough to freeze over water butts on the plot, perfect blue sky now with plane vapor trails streaking across I wonder where there going jammy beggers! ;D
cloudy...no rain..a bit windy...temp..12.5c...but feels a lot cooler
Cool and dull in Essex, my daughter lives in Inverness she e-mailed me, that its snowing there and oot came there winter clothes, no planting going on there for a while yet :(Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
its RAINING!! this will do the spuds good and will save me going down to water the allotment, its not heavy rain just stady rain.
Just had a 5 minute heavy downpour. That will help everything along, especially the weeds!!
Sunny spells for most of the day, dull and gloomy now, waiting for the rain. :-\ ???
Mostly sunny yesterday.
Cloudy today with one or two light showers.
Steady rain, thank goodness ;D
Started to rain, not a lot to write home about. ::)
snowing in bradford
Rain on and off all day on Bolton and strong winds tonight.
Big flakes of snow at the moment in Birmingham.
Bit concerned about my spuds,although they are earthed up and havent come through yet. 2:5 c here at moment, snow promised for later.
Snow here too Betty...
Don't worry Peter a layer of snow will insulate your spuds if they are still in the soil...
SNOOOOOOOW!.. :o well..sludge really.. ::) But it is all wet stuff and very welcome.
Spuds will love it ;D
Dull cold but dry here. Hardly a breathe of wind,
??? Blizzard in Rotherham? What the chuff is happening?
It must be the appocolypse, people. Repent thy sins. Pray to the Lord All Mighty. "Lord, i am eternally yours - just please stop it chuffing snowing!"
Kev, I agree - 14 degrees C here and just drizzling. But we really need a good downpour.
Still, dry weather hasn't stopped the spuds and onions peeking through. They are resilient. Since I gave the garlic a good soak and a feed the other day though it looks really good. If we don't get better rain, I will do that with the onions next week.
We've got few inches now of that wet and white stuff... ;D...and more is landing as I type.. ;D
It definately don't look like April out there but I can almost hear my plants joy when they are having that long waited soak.
Once this mad spell of weather is over I can start mulching and 'seal' the moisture where it belongs... ;) I'm going to get BIG crop of spuds this year.. ;D ;D
I will pop out later when its stopped raining and Harriets in bed and move all the plants into the mini greenhouse not much protection as the plastic has mostly eaten away from the cover but I will see if i can get some thick plastic from work to cover it up and keep the temp up :)
Metcheck have moved the snow back a few days but they might be wrong hope so am working nights now till monday :( oh well we do need this :)
dont feel to warm, been raining-but sun has just popped out, windy
a max of 7c and a low of -1c is the forecast -its 3c at the moment
Jim
It's been dry all day after 1/4 inch of rain overnight. I even went and stood in the rain for a while as I enjoy the feel of it on my face. Hopefull we will get some more soon as my waterbutts really need the top up.
We've got 1.5C at 11a.m. and gusts of 35mph. Heavy rain/snow showers drumming loadly on roof.
Sounds and feels like mid-winter
The sun is out in north London, but not as warm as it was last week. Rained in the night.
plenty of rain in scunthorpe @ last, we really do need it but we do not need the cold that has come with it.
As the old bird said, rain last night, Sunny spells followed by a dull cloudy afternoon. ;)
Well its been non stop rain here today car says its 7 degrees out but there forecasting hard frost and -1 tomorrow seedlings are all under cover just the plug plants i got from thompson and morgan now to move :) when it stops raining that it :) if not i will move them before i go to work tonight.
Horrible mixture of driven rain and large snowflakes in Leicester this morning for two hours. In a temperature of 2c it was bone-chilling.
Only the thought of greenhouse louvres open to the north wind got me down to the lottie.
Thank you for the water, Lord, but could we have from the warm tap please???
Even though it has just started raining I have still got the hosepipe on
Three and a half rows of potatoes went in yesterday and it promptly rained over night and into the morning. :)
Not bad today - sunshine of the warmish variety.
More rain needed tonight. 6oC tonight according to the weather fore guesscast.
sun shine 8) dry-no wind...temp 6.7c.
7c, overcast morning and clouds just starting to break.
Around 1 inch of rain yesterday has soaked in well on my plot, looks like it's at field capacity.
Thank heavens the wind has dropped and I can repair the plastic cover on my ''greenhouse''!!
Much nicer today... sunny... :)
Really cold here. We have had to economise because of the cost of oil central heating so only have it on for half an hour three times a day. We have also turned the radiators off in rooms we do not use very often. I am sitting here wearing two fleeces, a jumper, trousers, socks and a thermal vest yet am still cold. Think I had better get on with some ironing as that will warm me up.
It is very cold here today, wind rather bitter. I have taken to wearing a large fluffy dressing gown over my clothes in the house.
Pauline, I do the same radiator turned off in dining room(I eat in the kitchen so only use dining room when I have company) I don't have the bedroom one on as I don't like hot bedroom but I do have electric blanket on for half hour before bed. Have just had combi boiler fitted, I am told it will work out cheaper. Rained more or less all day yesterday but blue sky and sunshine today. A real nip in the air but have kept warm as I have started decorating lounge. After the gas fire and back boiler were removed I landed up with just a plastered wall where they filled in the hole. Hope you are well. xxx
Cold and dull today. :(
Cold start, grey and gloomy, but brightened after lunch to a sunny afternoon, still cold though.
Been a beautiful day but a bit chilly. wall to wall sunshine but pity the cold air was coming from the North.
;D
Very windy, bl :o :ody freezing and dark clouds all day. Sod the expense the heatings on, worst that can happen is I go to jail where I bet its warm, safe and they feed you. (only joking :-\ I think ;D).
Back to perfect blue sky this morning ;D after the grim grey show yesterday :'( just going to scoff me kipper breakfast and off to the plot :P ;D ;D
Very frosty here, was going to lottie early but put my noise outside and took it back in immediately. Will try again when the sun gets a bit stronger after 8am.
Zero degrees this morning and thick frost on plot at 7.30. Should remain sunny for a few hours, but I'm stuck in work till 5. (I've had 1 customer in 90 minutes; hardly seems worth it!!)
No wind and the suns shinning, can feel the warmth through the window so off to the lottie ;D
Digeroo did you get my email I sent last night?
Good friday weather.dark and trying to rain.
Overcast and cold... :-X
Just started raining again, hope its filling some of the lakes round about ;D ;D
Dry here at the moment but it is supposed to be raining.
Raing here,that dreary drizzle..........we need it though :-\
mostly cloudy, dry no wind feels cool even though its 11c at the moment
Grey with odd bits of drizzle in oxfordshire.
Dark and gloomy with the Sun threatening to come out a few times and with the odd spot of rain. :(

No one much gets it in the south east of England.. Do they. :(
Our forecast was for rain on Saturday but if you blinked you would have missed it.
It's great to go out and keep dry but I'm almost missing the odd soaking. What worries me most, apart from a very difficult year on the allotment if things don't improve, is how the elderly will cope if the situation becomes severe with stand-pipes in the street.
With increased house building in our region and an ever increasing population (for one reason or another) it amazes me that there's enough water to go round at the best of times.
On a cheerful note: Who knows... perhaps we'll have floods all through June and July. ::)
Grey and drizzly here in oxfordshire this morning.
gloomy looking day here in preston lancs......10.1c rain is forecast for the rest of the comeing week
There's a little rain in the air.... if you stand still and concentrate you can actually feel some of it falling. ::)
Generally grey and overcast on the sunny (?) south coast.
Proper steady rainfall today here in South Staffs.
Was hoping for a nice day down the lottie but sure it will do the tatties good.
Easter monday and its raining !! IT NEVER FAILS-but never mind it saves me watering and the spuds will love it.
Yep - Easter hols and it's raining. The proper stuff now - wet ground, puddles and fairly continuous if not heavy.
It'll do a bit of good. Every little helps. ;)
Rain, Rain and Rain :)
All my plant trays and buckets are full so i have poured the water into the garden beds near the trees and larger plants my thinking is that the soil might hold onto the water in the comming months once the top drys out :)

Blue sky with scattered cloud :)
same as tuesday weather, only diff is not going to the plot today.
Just as the mower was about to be brought out my mother phoned. She was off to the hairdressers with my sister but needed someone (wonder who that might be) to sit with my 96 yr old dad for a couple of hours. >:(
I'd been there all morning - prepared lunch - need to go back to do dinner and the late evening bedtime shift while my sister continues to enjoy her 2 week holiday.
Hair done and now it pours heavily!!
Great to have the rain as we need it but I'm happy to do without the sister. ::)
The most extraordinary mixture of pouring rain, hail storms, thunder, blazing sun in blue skies, alternating throughout the day - East Sussex. Big family day out in Bedgebury Forest with 6 of us doing Go Ape and the rest on the ground amusing small children. Hope my 62 planted potatoes have noticed the rain, ditto my snap, podding and mangetout peas.
Frosty morning, warm morning, thunder and lightening this afternoon. Had hail yesterday.
It's just been bucketing down, the most intense rainbow I have ever seen, unfortunately, my phone says there is not enough battery left to work the camera ??? and I seem to have a hole in my boot.
Sunny spells followed by a few sharp, short showers
Then at the lottie after 2.30 is was lovely Sunshine and I was working in a T shirt. 8)

Harriet and I will be sowing some parsnip seed onto kitchen paper this afternoon in a empty part of propagator

The wind is getting up.......
Wet and windy start... :(

Rain is forecasted, not to warm at 7c top temp , roll on summer....thats if we get any ?

No floods forecast so that's a bonus. ::)

Presently we have persistent precipitation and a fresh wind.
Showers on and off for most of the day. :)
Wet all day... still wet, must be the drought... ;D
Barely stopped raining all day, some of it really heavy. I was at work so wasn't too bothered but feel sorry for anyone on holiday this week.
Something has gone very wrong... :(
Rain all day and dry over-night? ???
I'm sure it should have been the other way round ;)
Raining again, I'm off to Heathrow today for a union meeting hope the roads are OK. :-\
Damp start here but looking brighter than yesterday... :)
Went into Swindon yesterday and experienced the Monsoon. The rain was coming down in stair rods. Driving was a nightmare. The roads swimming in water.
Got back home only a few miles to discover we had only had about 1/2 inch of rain. The ground is still dry at the bottom of the spade depth.
Made a brief sortie down to lottie amid sunshine and light showers and a loverly rainbow, the sky was really black over Swindon so it was still tipping it down there.
Digeroo you welcome to some of this rain, shall I come over for coffee, that should do the trick ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Its grey and over cast here, think its waiting for me to poke my nose out of doors for the next down pour.
So much rain here in south staffs,Was glad to see it at first but getting fed up with it now......roll on summer :)
been raining off and on to day, like Betula getting fed up with it now, is there no end to this weather, roll on summer!!
Back from my meeting and its still piddling down, some peeps have short memorys as they were begging for water three weeks back. :o :P

It's officially April shower weather here. ;)

Its been cloudy with bright spells for most of the day, then pissed down after 1am. :)
Do we thing that the threat of frosts are past? I could do with getting a few smaller things potted on now
Thunder and lightening now, after it had brightened up with the Sun coming out. :-\

We, down here in the sunny south, know only too well that frosts can strike right up to the end of May.
Pot on - I have but everything that's not frost hardy is in a small greenhouse by day and the conservatory by night.
Later, when it warms up a bit, my plants will be out during the day and in the greenhouse at night until eventually they'll escape to the plot... sometime in early June I expect.
Sunshine !!

Still dry here.. ;D
The sun is out, the cats are out, and I am boiling beetroot. Better put the timer on, or will forget it.
Sunny first thing this morning, heavy showers including hail this afternoon.
Nice blue sky this morning ;D
dry with some sunshine, going to the allotment to sow 3 rows of peas in 15 foot rows.
Grey all morning... now black and raining... :'(

Thanks Flighty that's cheered me up no end :o
Perhaps we could ask for new staff at the weather agencies? We need people with sunny ideas. ;)
It is winter here... and the forecast is spot on for today: Wet
showers pm....high of 11c...low of 4c....sunshine at the moment 8) :-[
Rain here. :(
Steady rain
steady rain here mostly its like powdery fine stuff with the occasional power shower :) Although ground is not 2 wet to walk on so i expect we still need a lot more :)
And the weather here by way of a change is very wet with quite a wind too.
As promised the heavens opened and heavy rain up til now. Sunny but does not look as if it will last long.
Wet wet wet.
Yep... :-X
P#ssed down proper here for most of the day. :(
Tons of rain, and strong gusts of wind knocking new growth around.
eel fay pler oh jord wee
Looks like the same thing indefinitely. I know we need it but it is starting to get tedious.
I forgot about the winds and battling with my umbrella. :'(
Dry morning!!
Wet, wet, wet yesterday.
Only a few showers so far today.
very dull here, looks like more rain
it rained all day yesterday.
Overcast but dry so far... much better than yesterday. :)
Heavy showers just when you think it's going to be dry long enough to do something - turning into an armchair gardener, it's very frustrating.
Sunny spells, showers and very windy. ::)
Very wet. Better tomorrow and Sat. I hope, then flippers on again for Sunday.
And this is the drought area of N. Lincs... ::)
[OK so we did pray for rain. I still remember the year my then 8 year old prayed for snow.... We were digging the stuff out for weeks.. about 1979 /80 I think..]
Be careful what you wish for..... ;D ::) ::)
Weatherwise - a brilliant start to the day - sunshine.

Icy rain and wind here in Birmingham. Just come back from walking the dogs in the park and we are soaked. Off to the lottie now to feed the cats.
Wind still strong this morning and the rain is fairly lashing it down.
Cold and soaked, but harvesting done!!

Raining cats and dogs here on the Salisbury Plain and very windy overnight.
Pouring,blowin' a gale.
Just been over to an elederly neighbour who has 3 burly firemen on his roof lashing down his solar panels which were "walking" across his flat roof :o :o :o
Britain is turning back into boggy marshes.. ::)
With this rain my potatoes are going to be HUGE..that's if they don't drown first.
And there was me earlier on the year preparing for the drought..bought looads of straw for all that mulching ... ::)
Feel a bit better as just spoken to my stepdaughter in Perth, Australia and its raining there as well. But its so cold with this gale as well, or is that just me feeling the cold in my old age :'( :'( ;D And there doesn't seem as though theres going to be any improvement in the next week.
No wind here in preston !! just rain and a temp of only 3.6c , so it feels furkin cold and wet.
Northants/Beds border. It is rare to have days in late April when it is necessary to have the electric lights on at midday - despite large south facing window in the lounge! The rain is incessant and very heavy and yes it is cold, bone chilling damp and cold. NOT HAPPY :(
Miserable wet rainy day in Enfield, so thought I would cheer myself up by looking at photos of front garden last year. Has stopped now so maybe go to the allotment in my new pink wellington boots. Away tomorrow to Bridport and can't find my waterproof trousers. :( :(

sushine and warmer than yesterday and NO RAIN forecasted
The sky is blue and all the cars in the road are covered in white blossom (nothing near by so were all intrigued).
Almost all the rain (apparently its about 30mm between friday and sunday) has just about dried up from the hard surfaces will try the ground later and see if its stable to walk on yet.
A lovely day with the Sunshine yesterday 8)
Awoken in the early hours by hailstones crashing against the windows, with thunder and lightening thrown in for good measure. :o
Weather is nothing like yesterday! its dull and the wind is bl**dy cold.
After a dull and wet day the sunny has got his hat on and the sky is blue.
So its off to the lottie for me.
No sign of any sunshine as yet-but its dry with a temp of 8.8c.
When the sun breaks through it is nice and warm, but most people are still dressed for winter. I think I will have to wait until June comes in before we see 'tit monday' this year
The forecast is just about right.......... 11:30pm and its raining.
Due for a couple of cold nights over the week-end. Beware down south!!
Sunshine-forecast is a high of 16c today, 8) so im off to the allotmnt to sow my free pkt of peas from birds eye. :P
Not allotment weather here today - even changing the bedlinen at my parents' place is doubtful..

Everything's on a go-slow until the rain has cleared.
Cant believe it we've got frost forecast for overnight sat! This will be the latest frost we have had for more than 7 years. Have to go and root out some fleece and stones.
Shakes fist at sky

Another dull day. We have not seen the sun for days apart from the old sunny evening. The seedlings on my windowsills are getting very leggy.
dry but dull...10c and a low of only 2c.
Another dull day but at least it's dry enough to hang the washing out!
Tonight - chilly forecast but (so they say) no frost down this way.
That was quite a heavy frost, had to break the ice on the hens water this morning.
Strangely late sweetcorn and french beans outside under the fleece seem fine! hooray.
x Sunloving
No frost yet, just lots of persistant precipitation....
Air feels cooler this morning but the sun has come out to play ;D
Bank Holiday week-end they tell me.......grey, chilly and damp as it often is.
Sun keeps popin out in between clouds, its dry and no rain forecast till middle of
next week and temps not that high its only 7.3c at the moment,
roll on summer !! starting to get realy pi***d off with this weather.
Totally fed up with the cold wet dull weather, have had freaky large hailstones last week & frost last night all I seem to be growing at the moment is billions of slugs :o xJane
Chilly today, but nothing more than a little drizzle.
Well its a lovely warm sunny morning in Lancaster this morning. I was all dressed up expecting frost when i went out in my slippers to feed the hens but soon had to take of the hat and extra jumpers.
Hooray. There might be some car boot sale bargains today. Need some new courgettes after the last lot got frosted!!
Hope everyone has a lovely day today.
x sunloving
sunny morning in Preston lancashire 8) with a temp of 9.3c at present
showers are forecast for later on in the day ? they said that yester day but it was fine all day.
It is still wet & miserably grey here in Kent :'(
While searching for my extra think jumper, I look outside a east facing window and saw a round and very bright object in the sky.
Anybody know what it could be?
Once I have wrapped up well I will go out and investigate.
Whatever it was, seems to have gone now.
Raining here in Swindon, looks as though its in for the day. :-X :-X
Well at least its dry for now but cold & grey & yet more rain due by 1pm ::)
Yesterday against all forecasts turned out rather nice. A bit cold but some lovely sunshine as well. Evening at the lottie was lovely. Early this morning sun was shining and so sneaked in a couple of hours at the lottie. Drizzling now but brightening up. I am hoping it will stop this afternoon.
And just for a change ::) it's raining here. :(
light rain pm high of 9.0c low of 7c thats the forecast ?
No UFO's round here, Dull, with a bit of drizzle. Nothing remotely like the downpour they were promising a couple of days ago.
Way-hey!!!! I have sunshine!!!! It's lovely and warm too!
Pity my shoulder hurts SO much that I couldn't even write on the whiteboard at work today, so I think a trip to the lottie is out of the question :'(
Perhaps I'll just nip to the garden. You can still sow seed with one hand...and there are melons and corn waiting to get growing. ;)
Sunshine at last here too, although the forcast says it will be soon be miserable again tomorrow, so I'm off to make the best of it.
not been a bad day to day, sunshine no rain but the wind is still cold.
Raining in Swindon at the moment. Don't think the weathers going to be up to much tomorrow either. :'( :'(
A mostly dry Tuesday - spots of rain early night.... getting ready for tomorrow's downpour I guess. :(
Nice start here... just been round opening greenhouses.. watering and so on... :)
light rain pm high of 12c thats what the weatherman says ?
Rain Rain & yet more Rain in not sunny at all Kent :'(
Put my toe on the grass in back garden yesterday & it positively bubbled around me :o
Didnt even put much weight on it - ground is absolutely sodden so haven't dared to go near my allotment which I expect is only good for mud wrestling at the mo ;D xjane

Mud wrestling could catch on between gardners and their local water suppliers if there's not a substantial improvement in stored water reserves by now!
Hosepipe bans. Pah!! ::)
Rain this morning till lunch time. Clouds a light grey at moment but more rain forecast. Going to pick some rhubarb which is planted by path. On heavy clay so no planting at moment as its like a mud patch. The frogs are loving it and I love them as with a bit of luck their keeping the slugs down.
All I hope is when the weather gets better that it doesn't go from one extreme to the other.

This was my mates plot last week and I doubt the heavy rain yesterday and today have helped :(
Glorious sun this morning ;D spent a couple of hours on the plot. Grey cloud and raining cats and dogs this afternoon :'(
Showers on and off all day. :'(

I must admit I'm begining to lose the will to live. We're on heavy clay and at this rate I'll be turning it into a paddy field. I do feel for your friend. My best crop looks as though its going to be the rhubarb this year.
We're fortunate our plot is up the track and we get away with flooding.
But it's been awful for so many folk this year :(
Wet again in North Sussex. There is a hedgehog complaining between the greenhouses as he can't keep dry but the greenhouse plants are thriving on the rainwater that has been in abundance.
I had a quick peep at my local water authority's reservoir levels......makes surprising reading in some parts of the south, one was up to 87% full.
Ninny
PS - Watercress beds in the making on those pictures! :o
showers pm that what the weather man said, it started at 2pm and has pis%$d down all day , in fact its just stopped.
Cats and dogs at the moment. :(
Quote from: jimtheworzel on May 10, 2012, 11:58:53
Raining !!
Same here but with the odd dry spell inbetween.
I may aim to get the washing out, the next lot in, my dad's shower sorted and some of the long hedge trimmed with hand shears. I don't feel it's a good idea to risk using the electric hedge trimmer. ::)
OH promised to cut the grass at the allotment with the petrol mower, but it is raining, and it is not very often that he want to do it. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

You could be in luck with that grass cutting if not - the weekend is promised to be rainless!! :)
dry and sunny. but showers forecasted for later this afternoon, so nothing new weather wise
just the same old cr*p weather day in day out.
So far beautiful day here with a few 'fluffy' clouds. Wind was a bit chilly first thing. Now going out to carry on gardening.
A lovely day, if a little chilly in the late afternoon sun whilst watching cricket. It's good to see them on the field after all the bad weather, summer is nudging her feet in the door. ;)
Ninny
Today has been brilliant - looks like Sunday will be the same - lovely sunset this evening. ;)
lovely sunny day, dry, but rain forecasted for later on ???
my plan is to plant out more peas today ???
Sunday was good and Monday started off not badly at all. Right now the rain is drifitng back again so normallity. :(
Fri, Sat and Sun was Sunny 8) but back to the rain today. :(
Hailstones as I type. ::)
Rain here again today, the sun keeps trying to push its way through the clouds but losing the battle :'( :'( :'(
Dry morning - showers all afternoon and some heavy - frost tonight?? Maybe....a cold one at any rate. :(
A real mixture here
Bright start
Winds picking up
Rain and wind
Brightened up again with a bit of Sun
More showers
Windy
Thunder and lightening
Hailstones
Sunny spells
More showers.
:-\ ::)
Those hailstones hurt. :( :( Lucky we just got back from allotment, saw the dark clouds and it rained, hailed so hard that we sat in the car until it stopped. Tomorrow should be better, so the weather forecast says. Need some heat for the seeds, otherwise this year I give up.
Like Kev sez... :-X

high of 12c low of 7c to day cloudy but dry, forecast is better next week, with a high of 18c 8)
According to the paper we are due for some very hot weather in June. Hope the plants survive the cold then the heat. It will be a strange year, with the temps keep changing. Warm here today in Enfield, will plant some more seeds as the first lot I planted in hot April not doing too well. :( :(

Lovely and warm, t-shirt weather at the plot :)

Overcast but dry... time to do some potting on and more seed sowing while it's dry out.
Cloudy but bright, warmer than it has been for a while :)
Cloudy and windy. Colder than yesterday only 9C. Tomorrow looks as if it will be much better.
temp of 17 to 18c from monday next week for the north west
very windy and cold. :o ::)
Cloudy and coldish. ::)
not exactly warm, but a lot less cold-and dry! able to work outdoors without a jacket!
Not so warm today, breezy but shielded in the greenhouse :)
Anyone watch the Countryfile forecast for the south, mid to high 20's next week with an easterly wind ??? Even hubby commented on it this evening.
Ninny
The sun's on its way and the birds are singing.... we may well be in for a good day (weatherwise).
Sunny, hip hip 8)
Getting brighter but no sunshine yet, still quite cold. >:(
Nice day here in the north west, plenty of sunshine with a temp of 17c. ;D 8)
We are in France for a week with our caravan and it has rained since we arrived on Saturday and we haven't seen the sun yet. The forecast is that it is going to be 8 degrees hotter in the UK than here in France during the next few days. We should have stayed at home! :-[
Nice & sunny but the wind is nippy
The sun is out and it is warm ;D ;D
X Chas
Cold this morning, put the heating on low for the cats, like one does, and cardigan, fleece and winter coat. Warmed up after some digging at the allotment. Rushed home to turn the heating off, open all the windows and change into summer clothes. Funny old day, weather wise. Tomorrow will be warmer, so they say, so opened the plastic greenhouse, but toms still in leanto, but they may go out tomorrow if the weather forecast is right. ;D ;D
Cold this morning, but the sun finally came out around 2 p.m. and it got really warm :)

Cloudy for most of the day yesterday, but late afternoon early evening it was shorts out in the back garden with a nice few hours of Sun. 8)
The wind has dropped, the sun is out, looks like a glorious day to come.
Sunny this morning :)
Sunny here too. WW then lunch & the lotty.
Borlotti my OH puts the outside light on for Tilly our cat. I can understand the heating ;D but not a light.
Wall to wall blue sky and bright sunshine here. Went to the lottie at 6:15.
Glorious... :)
weather man says 19c to day, weds 21c.
22C at 13.00hrs, clear blue sky with gentle northerly breeze.
Managed an hours hoeing on the lottie before work this morning, it was glorious, and it should stay fair for a few days yet.
At last!!!!!
Dull start here, but now with bright Sunshine and temps up to 25oc. 8) 8) 8)
24C at 6pm!!
Only another 90 mins work then of to the pub for a well earned sun-downer.
The central heating at my parent's place finally had a rest!!! :) "We" even opened a window for the first time this year.
A wonderfully warm day - still shirt-sleeve weather now (11:15pm)
A scorcher of a day in the greenhouse, I could have sported a bikini Aden ;D

it's too hot! :o
now I know I've been complaining about it being too cold and wet to get good germination but was a 10 degree hike in temperature overnight really necessary? by the time I've got acclimatised to the higher temperature it'll drop back down again and I'll be cold! :(
24.8C at 4pm and a day off tomorrow. Looks like sundowners (x2) when I finish tonight. Then a busy day on the lottie tomorrow with BBQ makerel or sardines in the evening. Bliss!!
Doing the headless chicken trying to stop all the seedlings and stuff drying out in the greenhouses.. . :-X
shading on the greenhouse today, yesterday some of my plants got scorched :'(
A week of this weather and we'll soon have ' when's it going to rain'. :(
Scorcher almost says it all. :)
26oC in my parents front room so no grumbling about being cold today. :)
I blame it on my daughter, whenever she comes home from Sharm I swear she packs the sun in her suitcase :)
Sitting here with all the doors open, at nearly a half past ten and very humid, still. Almost wishing for a good old thunderstorm to clear the air.

Upto and including the weekend... :)
I just cannot believe it has gone from so cold to so hot in only a few days. Last week I was struggling to keep off the frosts and now everything is wilting in the heat.
Another Hottie here, and I don't mean me. ;) 8) 8) 8)
A cooling wind is blowing in through the curtains....
............. and it needs to >:( having spent the last 2 hours so & so-ing about trying to get my father to try an electric reclining chair for his comfort >:( He wanted me to stay for the rest of the evening while he sat in it...... then, the final "hot spot" was, he wanted cushions on the floor to put his feet on for when he has his dinner. ::)
......finally he went back to the original old chair that he had complained about all day!!!!!!!!!
Why I didn't just wander off to the plot in the first place rather than try to help out I don't know. :-\

So hot that my spade is bouncing off the top of the soil
pheeeew its hot !!
Yes and its surprising how dry the ground has got so quickly it was water logged 2 weeks ago and now i have to go a full spades depth to find moisture in the soil.
I suspect tonight i will be going out with a few more buckets than normal to keep everything going.
The clay is cracking at the plot already, need to get some more spent hops to mulch it after another good dousing.

We've still got weather here........ not quite so warm as it was and clouded over at one point followed by three drops of rain and then........back to sunshine.

Warm with Sunny spells for most of the day, clouding over later, then dark clouds, rumbling thunder in the distance, with a light shower of which was dried out afer 20 mins. ???
Yesterday cloudy on and off, a bit off mist for a short while and then some sunshine.
Heavier cloud this morning and we have had a light shower.
Rain! We have had RAIN!!!!!
Will be off up to the lottie later to get the weeds, so much easier when its damp!
Heavy cloud here in Sligo. Rain is promised. Maybe even a bit of thunder! :D I shall be out and about, picking off the odd weed-sprout I may have missed yesterday.

dark looking day no sun as yet could rain later
Overcast this morning, sunny by eleven and feels nice and warm :) Lots of clouds in the distance....
The sun has struggled to appear here in Sligo, but it's still been very warm. Heavy rain forecast for tonight.
A mainly dry day - just a spot or two of rain mid afternoon. Now it is pouring down so I'm pleased I had time to do some planting on the plot.
Hoping for "dry" again tomorrow so I can get on with the new kitchen garden.

Constant moderate rain all night, and it's forecast to remain all day. Wont be much work going on outside today, so I'll brew another large batch of
Piccalilli.
Hope weather improves for tomorrow as I'm doing a Jams and Pickles stall at a local Beer Festival.
Cold and raining. I've got the central heating on.
A warm dry day yesterday with the skies threatening all day and finally giving in in the late evening with a downpour or two
Rain overnight, with a constent light drizzle at the moment
Saves watering the plot today. :D
Pouring rain since the early hours. Water butt overflowing. Glad I got my digging done yesterday!
Bit of rain overnight but the soil not wet through. Now just damp. I have a couple of patches that need a dig so was hoping the rain would soften them up.
Been raining all day in Notts :(
The sun is out this morning, few clouds in the sky but they are the white and fluffy variety,so hopefully no rain in Notts today ::).
still raining in East Sussex >:(
the sunny south is........sunny. :)
Cloudy but bright in Sligo. It's a bank holiday here and I've a hangover, but the work shall still be done...later ;D
Sunny but still a chill to the air in castle Douglas - home I believe is dull and cloudy
Rain.. but we are sowing through it
XX Jeannine
Dull start in Notts.
It was dry till I got to the plot. I managed to plant out a wigwam of Salmon Flowered Pea, and it started chucking it down.
Dry start to the day (parent's front garden planted up) but now it is pouring down with not the slightest sign of stopping. :(
An overcast morning but enough time to do bits at the plot with hubby in tow 'till the tipping started. One of these days I'll get him up there for more than an hour ;)
Ninny
Forecast said my bit of Sussex would be soggy on Wednesday but pleased to say it remained almost spotlessly dry. :)
A bit cloudy but a nice morning in Notts.
Chucking it down here.
Grey and damp here.... could pick up if not working in greenhouses and poly.. :)
Damp dull and cold at the moment. Looks like another blast of rain is heading towards us.

June is bursting out all over..........in very wet lumps. :(
A fairly steady down pour for most of the day...and the weeds are loving it. ::)
Been raining since lunch time in my part of Essex.....again.
So much rain here in Birmingham that I can't even persuade my dog Graham that it won't hurt him if he gets wet and 'goes' in the garden. Such a wimp!

Another wet day here and it is very windy. I hope Thames water withdraw the hosepipe ban soon. ;D
Rain and wind, and I really wanted to go to the allotment today. The forecast was wrong, as today was meant to be OK.
I can hear the wind in the trees in the park at the back of my house, and it's raining of course.
Will I be able to persuade Graham to go for a walk?
..Notts is still WET..and I can say it is 'tested and trialled' personally outside through nightie.. ::)

Wet!
its wet here in hertfordshire
Rain hasn't really stopped from yesterday morning, windy too. There doesn't look to have been any structual damage but plants and trees have had a bit of a bashing. :(
Wind and rain here in Essex through the night and early morning. THe rain has now stopped (9.25) but the wind is still blowing.
Very windy and wet here in sunny (not) Sutton.Overnight my plastic blowie (aptly named) went for a fly.It was filled with stuff and plants are looking very sorry for themselves.I have lost a few but hopefully the majority will recover. :(
Suffolk is very windy but currently no rain. Because of the strong winds and even stronger gusts forecast for late morning / early afternoon, the second day (today) of the Suffolk Agricultural Show has been cancelled as it was thought there could be a risk to the public by damage being caused to the marquees and gazeboos on the site.

Just heard on the news how badly your area was/is affected. Glad that you haven't had structural damage.
Here it is proper foul, squally, rainy gusts and very cold, only 12C. So far no bad damage either luckily, very depressing needed to switch lights on yesterday lunchtime to do some fine work. Just a little brighter today. Fed up with this weather. :(
Disgusting weather in Kent too - winds over 50 mph today on first dry day in ages. Heavy rain smashed some of my squash plants to bits yesterday :'( Been a truly awful growing year for me so far xJane
After a big blast last night and rain it's now sunny and very windy.
Dustbins moved, some plants snapped off (fortunately many staked) and still the wind blows.
Such a shame my sister has a ferry crossing to make after another weeks holiday (France this time) - never mind I'll carry on looking after our parents as I've done all year.....and the year before that and the year before that. ::)
Gales have dropped and no rain for the last hour, whooo hooo it must be June ::)
Leaves and branches strewn across the lawn, poor little birdies have had a hard couple of days.
No rain to speak of today, but the winds are flooring the foxgloves and delphiniums and battering the roses too :'(
Ninny
Just been woken up by the sound of the wind no obvious damage other than a plant which has been knocked off the top of the mini greenhouse rain on and off but all my beds look like swimming pools again.
Still very windy here but the sky is blue.
Blue skies, sunshine and the birds singing. What a difference 24hrs makes :)
Grey sky, stopped raining but still damp... wind has dropped...
we have had no strong winds here in preston, just rain and more bl)(dy rain !!
Sunshine and showers here. We've avoided the strong winds so far.
Overcast all morning, fairly calm and no rain yet :)
The rains back :(
Wakefield, Sunny all day about 17 degrees per beeb weather. it felt warmer. Just started raining this last hour.
pouring :(
all day >:(
A cloudy start yesterday with Sunny spells in the afternoon
A cloudy day today but just about stayed dry. ;D
Sligo. Today and yesterday sunny and calm. Most welcome after two days of storms that had everything battered. Thankfully my raised beds are well drained, so no flooding.
Rained all night and still drizzling as I type. :( :'(
Excellent yesterday... not as bright this morning, :-\
Yes, I'm currently sitting in the car at the lottie waiting for a mushroom compost delivery and hoping I'm not going to get rained on too much..... :-\
It's been pouring here since I woke up at 6:30. I am glad I got loads done yesterday. I still have cauliflowers and brussel sprouts to go in.....I am so behind. :'(
Duke
Mainly cloudy and dry this morning.
Just started to rain - looks like it is setting in for the day.
Sligo - warm and dry, with sunny spells. It's looking good. ;)
To say it is raining and wet would be the understatement of the year.
In 50+ years this is the wettest it's been. Emergency services have been doing their best to get along the main road with sirens blaring.
Although this area is relatively flat, until you get to the Southdowns, there are lower lying parts. All of these are flooded. In some cases water has entered peoples homes and businesses.
We've watched the fishpond expand all morning and newly formed garden lakes edging ever nearer the backdoor both here and across the road at my elderly parents place.
We're so sorry for neighbours just a few hundered yeards away at the bottom of the road as they are paddling indoors! :(
It has been pssssg down all day. Had hoped it might stop by now but no luck. Unusually it has been going from East to West , so I presume at some time it will turn round and we will have it all again.
Bad floods here five years ago, hope it does not get that high, no joke. People in 4x4s were driving round in the water for fun pushing the water up higher into peoples houses and churning up the water so it was even more dirty.
Wakefield, Yorkshire. Lots of rain last night. very heavy indeed. Today cool but dry all day.

Locally the most wide spread flooding the town and district has seen for a very long time. Roads closed, homes flooded.
So far we're lucky.. only the garden under water. Hosepipe ban has still not arrived here. ::)
Lovely day today, almost inpossible to believe but it was great, raining for the next 10 days though LOL
XX Jeannine
Pissssed down the whole day yesterday. :'(
Looking better this morning... :)
Lovely day today and we have to wander around Liverpool to the probate office ::)
No rain so far here in the West Midlands, but it is looking very threatening ,don't think it will be long before it starts again.
What a rubbish summer so far.
June
Sligo - Overcast with sporadic showers. Nothing heavy, but it's still wet. d**n slugs are loving it. >:(
Cloudy, but bright.
The sun is shining & tomorrow the hosepipe ban will be lifted.
Raining, light but continuously ATM, hopefully it will pick up. :)
Light rain here too.
No rain - washing out - locals are pumping out their properties - more rain expected tomorrow.
Sligo - Sunny spells between showers. Easterly winds. Not so bad.
Just the other day......Link: Wet, wet, wet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0_xZyXJ4RE&feature=related)
Rain over night but fine now... not as windy as last night either... :)
pouring down, and windy-a bit like November really!
Same here; cold, really windy and much rain :(
Bright sky, blustery wind and some sunshine at last!!
cloudy it has rained in the morning i was thinking of going in the allotment after lunch will see some one pls make it shine :'(
Same again, cold, wet and windy.
No heavy rain as forecasted-just drizzlely rain here in west lancashire

The wind has blown the cover off my plastic greenhouse, and will not put it back yet, wait till the weather gets better. Just put the heating on as my poor old knees are aching. Lamb stew cooking, not a day for salad. :( :( and my strawberries are rubbish, and other peoples are brill, maybe they get more sun or they have fed them, mine were very plentiful last year, gave loads away, still my peas look OK.
What a washout been raining most of the day in Notts.
Very windy, in fact, so windy we need a new rotary airer for the garden. Came home from a Father's Day shopping trip with daughter to find all my lovely clean washing in a heap on the grass :'(.
Ninny
Wind has dropped today, a pleasant Sunny day with a bit of cloud. 8)
Nice day despite the odd massive cloud in the distance.
Warmth and sunshine!! ;D
Fingers crossed for the rest of June. ;)
Dull looking, no sunshine, yet it feels quite warm and its dry but could rain later on
A lovely drying day - all three washes out at once on my new airer :)
Ninny
The rain is back here - intermittent showers with not a lot if "intermittence" ::)
Lovely Sunny day saw me sunbathing in the garden after work yesterday 8) 8) 8)
What a difference a day makes, raining on and off all day today :'( :'( :'(
Its like two different seasons, not two different days. ??? :-\ ???
Yesterday was good.... today not so... :-X
LOOKS MORE LIKE NOVEMBER OUTSIDE.
Had to put the lights on whilst typing as it got so dark, but seems better now, so will put my wet walking boots on (shouldn't have left them outside) and go and pick some peas and hopefully some strawberries, more jam. Might pick up a new box of slug pellets on the way.
It's like late Autumn here in Kent with rain, cold winds, grey sky etc etc.
We had a sunny day yesterday but it was still cold & wet overnight.
Seems like we aren't going to have clear seasons at all this year.....no wonder the fruit & veg doesn't know what to do ::)
WET - the artichokes I didn't puddle in because they were too wet a month ago now look a bit happier... and the dahlias love it until of course they get mugged by slugs. The strawberries are just ripening but this amount of rain will make them go mouldy. None of the squash/courgette family have yet raised a single flower and the peas have masses of pods but no contents :-\
Same here, rain on and off. The plot is thriving but the greenhouses are sulking, just read the temp and 10 degrees at the moment, no wonder the plants can't decide what to to :(

Wishing you well Jim, watercress would seem a good option everywhere at the moment ::)

Got back home from the lottie this morning and the wind had blown my plastic "greenhouse" over.
One tray each of Romaine, Hispi, and summer PSB that were almost ready to plant out all ruined.
Plus sprouts, PSB and Romain, just sown on Thursday emptied on to ground as well.
The wind must have rocked the house enough to break the ties holding it to the wall.
Now I'll have to re-sow again and I've lost 2 weeks.
Drat and Double Drat!!

I'm sure I have some watercress seeds somewhere, thanks for reminding me.
Well just for a change, it is not actually raining here but the sky is grey and it's windy. Rain later this pm and all next week.
I AM growing watercress! A mixture of rooted cuttings from a bought bunch, and seeds which have germinated.
When I had one of those little "greenhouses" I used the bottom shelf for about 8 bricks, to keep it stable. Didn't stop the wind eventually ripping the plastic cover to shreds, but I lost no seedlings. What a shame....
Still very windy here in East Sussex, and I fear going to plot because I actually took the bricks out of a plastic coldframe the other day and it may have flown......
big change from yesterday, no rain so far, but forcast is rain later
no floods yesterday so plot still ok but river is still high and im only 20 mtrs a way from it.
Sligo - Rain and wind in equal measure. Expect a slugfest this evening. :(
Overcast but dry most of the day. Just starting to drizzle as I left the plot.
Fairly dry and overcast this morning, rain and wind this afternoon and still chucking it down.
Been dry all day here, thank goodness. I was amazed, after the torrential rain for the last 2 days, the ground was quite dry :o :)
Sunny but thunderstorms expected shortky. Still on flood alert from the river though XX Jeannine
Raining all day and getting heavier.
no rain today but plot very wet-still managed to dig at the higher end-windy as well. More rain tomorrow then hopefully a couple of dry days-but we need some sun!
dry,no wind cloudy sky, forecast is for dry day, but we will see ?
A lovely Sunny day yesterday. 8)
Forecast for to day Light rain. high of 17c low of 15c
Another warm Sunny day. 8)
At last some good weather! Yesterday was hot but rather overcast but today is bright sun and high 20s!!! Yes, just what the doctor ordered for the tomatoes, peppers and squash!
Blighty weather, very warm and humid but at least it's not raining ;D
Major thunderstorm. Let's hope the plot's not flooded!
Thunder and lightening plus 50 mm of rain overnight.
I wouldn't normally post here as you expect Spain to be pretty warm in the Summer but this morning at 7.30 it was 25º when I went down to the allotment and 30º just before 9 when I came back. Temperatures reached 37º yesterday and are supposed to be higher through til Sunday. It's pretty unpleasant, too hot to sleep at night and too hot to go out during the day.
I've seen two bush fires from my office window in the last week, fortunately both on the horizon but weeks since the last rainfall and the high temperatures, the risk is extremely high here.
Very warm and humid here too in Hampshire. I think a storm might be on the way.
We've had RAIN...not not a just a drizzle..more of heavenly waterfall..no dam bursted sort of rain.. ::) Well..streets are now cleaned and plants watered.. ::)
I wonder where all this rain is going to end up..it was 'tons' of it that came down in a hour.
I'm not envious of Elhuerto's situation neither..drowning or burning..which is worst?.. :-\
Very hot and humid here, but no rain. We normally have considerably less rain than wimbledon, it should be relocated. ;D
heavy rain and thunder here in doncaster followed by lovely sunshine,gorgeous now at 1 o clock
One of our plotholders said that the weather here in Birmingham this morning reminded him of the monsoon season in Singapore :o
This is one of the car parks at the allotments -

:o :o :oThat is terrible will they survive?
I hope so! It drains off quite quickly, but the problem is that my plot slopes away from the stream, which is an old mill leat, towards the natural course. So it drains slowly, and it's the waterlogging which causes the damage. Hopefully it'll drain fast enough not to do too much harm. Mostly things survive, but they may not necessarily grow any more due to root damage.
Hot and sticky, a big black cloud threatened my washing about 2'ish but disappeared without as much as a trickle.
Forecast seems to be rain on Saturday, great for the cricket males in the household ::), but as long as Sunday is dry, hubby and I will be at The Oval watching England-v-Oz :)

OMG,, :o That is well watered crop... :o Did you get that horrid huge hail too?
Luckily broadbeans are quite tough and if all that surface water will drain away in couple of days..I suspect they are not effected in anyway.
And I thought we had it bad.. ::) I've been on lottie this afternoon and nothing seem to be soggy at all...just avenues where cars can get has 'rivers' running in tyre ruts.
Rain
Again
:'(
Quite a nice day here in preston, allthough the wind has got up, but its dry and warm so that's all that matters at this moment.
Today it's quite good enough to go down to the plot and stay there for the day....but, despite the patches of blue sky, I'm busy. :(
Windy and overcast this morning, my favourite plotting weather.
Heavens opened at about 12.30 and my wet top kept me dry, (must find hubby's golf waterproofs and hide them in my storage cupboard at the plot), despite only a 5 minute shower my gardening trews were soaked and took ages to dry out!
Sunshine and overcast intervals until 5.30.
Ninny
Not a good start to July with a high of only 15c and rain forecasted for to day and next week ! ???
Cloudy start with some showers, brightened up somewhat by midday. Quite breezy and feels cooler today.
14ºC and raining - 20º down on yesterday and 25º less than Friday :)

That really is a temperature drop! Do you feel the cold when it dips too much or is it a pleasant relief to have some cool?
My father (at 97) moans when there's any more than a 1
oC dip ::)
I'm hoping for a dry night and some morning warmth as I put my parents washing on the line a couple of hours ago.
Quoteor is it a pleasant relief to have some cool?
It was a welcome break - enjoyed a full day on the allotment, back to the sun this week it seems although not as hot.
After a dry but blustery day on saturday, I expected a better day on sunday. Lots of jobs planned in garden.
No such luck. day just as windy and got soaked in the morning while mowing (panic stations to turn off electric and get cable and mower under cover). afternoon not much better. gave up on day around 3.30. Total waste of a day. Wouldnt have been so bad of forecast for week good.
Currently sitting at my PC looking out at a very wet and windy day.
So much for Summer!! >:( :'( ::)
" RAINING "!! So nothing new to report.
Drizzle here. Perfect weather for blight. :(
I NEED SOME SUNSHINE! But, sadly, the Met Office 5 day forecast is telling me otherwise.....
It rained overnight - most of the day and.... by way of a change... it's raining again right now.
P#ssing down as I type. :(
Raining today.
Rained all day yesterday.
Rained all the day before.
Pretty much rained all day the day before that too.
Hmm let me look out of the window. Guess what! Its Raining ::)
Looked at BBC weather online for my area and it is Rain all day today :'(
Maybe a little dryer tommorrow ;D
Rain all day Friday :'(
Rain all day Saturday :'(
Rain all day Sunday :'(

Might pop down to the allotment tommorrow to do some tidying. It is looking rather untidy which I am not happy with :( It is a little difficult to hoe muddy soil :(
spot of rain am, but now cleared up no wind or sun, just this crappy weather they call summer.
Heavy showers, interspersed with light rain.
I have this week and next week off work and had anticipated catching up on the lotties, doing the back garden (repairing rabbit damage), and the occasional lunch in the garden.
I can just about do all three if I carry a golf umbrella with me and don't mind soggy sandwiches.
Somehow this reminds me of summer holidays when I was growing up and we always went to the East coast. It rained a bit then, but mid July with wellies a raincoat and a bucket and spade was still a brilliant holiday for a 5 yr old!
Recapturing my youthful zest!
Rochford Essex has been quite ok so far. Started a bit overcast but muggy. Afternoon visit to water the greenhouses on the plot a bit overcast but since I got home the sun :o is out and very sticky. Made mowing the lawns a bit uncomfortable but had to do them as the green bin is emptied tomorrow. Just going to sit outside for a bit and read the free paper. That's a novelty nowadays. Olympic torch passes this way on Friday so expect it to be persisting down all day :-[
Sligo - It rained like a you-know-what yesterday, but the sun came out today in fits and bursts - just about enough to help us keep the faith. ;)

But from late afternoon we've had no rain at all. The washing is on the line at this very minute! ;)
Amazing the sun is shining here. Lovely. Lets hope the courgettes get excited. I think the sweetcorn was growing as I watched. I don't think it will last long but enjoying a few bright moments. Lovely at the lottie this morning.
No sunshine, but no rain so far today hooooorah ;D
a high of 20c today, so it looks good for a change.
Lovely here... clear, warm and sunny.
I want to be on the plot putting in my leeks - late and still waiting!
(Just done the usual chores & my parents lunch served. They would have preferred trout, apparently, rather than boiled eggs. Had smoked mackerel lunch yesterday!...Today - sardines on toast. OH has gone shopping to keep their food cupboards [and ours] stocked and I'm waiting for my transport back so I can escape before I need to sort out dinner at 5.30.)
::)
Nice and sunny, here in Dorset. Quite warm too. Most importantly DRY!! Hurrah! makes a flipping change.
Much better day, hot and no rain so far! :)
Sligo - Warm and dry with sunny showers. Almost blissful. ;)
Torrential rain this morning as I set off for work - like driving through a river! Turned out nice this afternoon but from the forecast I think it's the calm before the storm. Not looking good for a weekend at the Burton Agnes jazz and blues festival!
Sunshine here for most of the day and it's still out. 8) 8) 8)
Its been sunny for most of the day :o :o but got a months worth or rain tommorrow to make up for what we have not had today >:(
Well today was greeted with a big yellow ball in the sky - first time since I can remember. Went to the plot for the first time, for three weeks, to do some work -5 hours later - happy did a lot.
Nice day, very humid, it's supposed to pee down again tomorrow. I've never seen a year so bad since I had the plot.
A lovely day, and guess who had to work >:(
Ninny
Nuneaton. Warwickshire. U.K.
Had a realy nice evening in the allotment. Sunny and warm. 8)
Oh dear :-[ after a really lovely day yesterday we have returned to the wet stuff. Hopefully we won't get the heavy downpours forecast for East Anglia. Off to welcome the Olympic Torch to Southend with grandson this morning. Taking the waterproofs. ::)
Rain again here in Warwickshire. Forcast is bad today for the Midlands today.
bucketing down in Rotherham, with a months worth of rain forecast in the next 24hrs ::)
My first early-finish day in weeks too ::) oh well, no allotmenting for me today :(
Peeeing it down. People at the allotments are apprehensive after last weeks' floods, but there's no danger of further flooding unless it gets very considerably worse. It's just another day when we can't work, and the bees can't collect nectar.
Well it is monsoon season ::) ::) :-X
The toads have there swimming trunks on and doing there warm ups for the Olyimpics. Using my sprout plants for a obstical course ;D ;D
O well you have to make light of it :-X :-[
It would be interesting to see our sites water rates this year. If its the same as last year then we must have a BIG leak ;D Or some muppet is goin down there with a huge umbrella and watering there allotment ;D ;D :-X
Swindon:
Lovely yesterday, I even saw blue sky and the SUN!!!!
Today, overcast and spitting...but we might miss the worst of the downpours.
I did plant some very late sweetcorn a couple of days ago...and digging the holes was like shovelling mud!
I'm going to stay off the plot until it dries out a bit.

Yesterday was soooo lovely, today drizzling. Did manage a couple of dry hours at lottie earlier.
an other amber alert for the north west !!.why the hell did i take on my allotment so close to the bloody river ? its only 20 mtrs away !!
In Essex.........Raining..........again...........
Poole by name and pool by nature
In herts, tis very wet and soggy
Rain for most of the day but brighting up now. ::)
somerset. Nice all day today and drizzling now. I feel very lucky
The sun has got his hat on
Hip hip hip hooray
The sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.
(But it has pssd it down all day)
Dry for much of the day, which was a nice surprise. But chucking it down big time for the last couple hours :(
Heavy rain woke me at 6 a.m. and it has continued for most of the day, apart from a brief respite this afternoon. It looks as though tomorrow might be better though.
Rain all through the night, and all day until 4pm. It wasn't torrential as forecast, but the lottie flooded for the sixth time this year, worse than ever.. despite the digging of a new 150 gallon soakaway yesterday.
Think I will just leave it to the alligators, and come back next year.........
We've had 32mm of rain today, but this evening the sky cleared, I've just had a gorgeous walk down to the Derwent, water water everywhere.....but the beautiful clouds! And the reflections in the flooded road! And the whirl of the river, and the birdsong! I could get quite poetic......
somerset, our turn now. Rained heavily all night and will rain all day
Grey and dull not currently raining
Fairford Airshow just up the road. Forecast for sunshine and showers. Not convinced, there is a huge patch of rain heading towards us on the radar map.
Lost out on the lovely afternoon yesterday. Had to watch Murray at Wimbeldon. Bright this morning but the weather forecast for this area on BBC1 was a bit confusing. Will have to play it by ear, get over lottie and do what I can before the rain :-\
Rain still missing us just, sun trying its best.
It is raining really heavy here in enfield , so much for a weekend off from work to go to the lottie :(
Heavy rain here to - North of Portsmouth. Looks set for the whole weekend.
Lovely and sunny here at the moment

16C, cloudy with a few sunny spells. Rain due later p.m.
Breezy, rain and showers.
Hartlepool......dry up to press!
Heavy rain in Hampshire :'(!
I am so happy to be going to work this afternoon.
As said some heavy showers and sunshine in Enfield, I got soaked coming out of t#scos. :-X
Rotherham is lousy for a change! ::)
Not a drop of that wet stuff today..nice for change and even the sun has peeked out at times.. ;D
Sadly the ground is far too wet to be able to work with it yet..but if it keeps dry until tomorrow, fingers crossed and I'll be doing something out there in a great wildenerness.. ::)..lot of 'taming' needs doing.. ::)
I dont think it has stopped raining here in Dorchester since 1600hrs (4pm) yesterday. that is now 25 hours of rainfall!!! :o :o :o
I could be wrong but i don't think there was much advance warning of all this rain for the south west was there? a few days ago the weather for today was going to be sunshine and showers!
Another wet day indoors with no gardening done. At least i had the Tour de France to watch on TV.
Sligo - Warm and relatively dry. No sun, though. :(
There was plenty warning of the bad weather approaching the South West over the last few days. There was an amber alert on it which then went to Red Alert yesterday. I knew anyway that you were going to get it last night.
I feel for you all down there. We had 35mm in the village overnight and our river is very high but that is nothing compared to the rain that fell elsewhere.
Mostly sunny this morning with a fair few white clouds, what a lovely change :)
rain....again.
After yesterdays torrential rain, today started sunny and bright. Guess what. It has just started raining again here 8 miles north of Portsmouth
Dried up just long enough for me to dig the spuds for lunch & pick sweet peas.
Lucky to get a dry couple of hours on the lottie this morning with rain before and after going there. ::)
lovely sunny day. Lots of pricking out and planting done ;D
Nice day a few spits and spots of rain but some nice sunshine as well. 23C.
A bit grey with some sunshine and a few showers. Still better than much of late.
Really frightening drive from Greenwich to East Sussex. Blinding spray, heavy cloudbursts, just happy to be safe at home. Hoping against hope to plant a new wave of runner beans and squashes tomorrow.

a "wave" of runner beans? That sounds far too much like a lot of deep moving water for my liking. :-\
I wish you luck with the planting - I've still not got all of my first batch in. Wet, wet, wet. :(
Can't believe the amount of rain again today, it's awash here again :'(
It helps lay the dust.
Sunny spells and a dry day yesterday for most of the day, until 5 ish then the showers came and continued for most of the evening. ::)
Grey and rainy in Northants this morning and a bit windy too. Very autumnal,.
ah yes, that is the word, autumnal. That is what today feels like, cool with light winds and a fine drizzle just starting. Makes me want to knit
Raining again, on and off... :-\
Yesterday was lovely first thing but then in the afternoon/evening it rained for 6 solid hours.
Nice at the lottie early this morning, rain forecast again later.
No rain today ;D. Thank you, upstairs x

Same here - one soggy Olympic torch coming our way - hoping it doesn't go out altogether. ::)
Rochford Essex. Another dead loss as far as the lottie. It has rained on and off all day. Reasonably dry at the mo but the ground will be undiggable if there is such a word. We have been lucky here so far. Although heavy rain at times no real damage done. Potatoes not as good as normal but plenty of courgettes and marrows. Beans are coming along nicely and more peas than ever before. Best brassiccas but plenty of them there slugs crawling everywhere. Problem is keeping up with the weeding on rain soaked soil. The boots are very heavy with the mud. Not much tho' to put up with compared to others.
Yesterday sunny and Hot hot hot, bikini weather woohoo!
Today just gorgeous, blue skies, the odd fluffy white cloud, faintest of breezes and sun sun sun, beach and BBQ 8)
Tomorrow more of the same :o :P
Not.
Jetstream is moving northwards, don't put that bikini in the loft just yet ;D
Ninny
A dry day with Sunny spells yesterday about 23oc. 8)
It's been wet fro the last two days again, heavy rain , light rain, drizzle and drifting mist. This morning stormy and wet, rain with heavy showers and blustery.
Hope that jetstream gets a move on :-\
pouring, absolutely pouring. Humid last night though and windy and cool yesterday. No summer in sight
OMG what a difference in 24hrs, it's dry so far and the grey sky appears blue with one very bright area :o

Still shivering here and dressing up warm - and judging by the wood and coal fire smells others in the area are actually heating their houses!
The jet stream moving north can't come too soon - if it does.
The Jetstream is definitely nudging back to where it should be at this time of year but there's no way I'm wearing a bikini no matter whose it is!! :-[
:D :D
Shorts and no top on the lottie today, well you've got to give the girls a treat now and then, got a sunburnt back though, I've heard the Borlotti burnt her feet, I did warn her about wearing them Derek Randels. 8)
Looks pretty good so far.......... :)
Sunny and 23 degC. Should go up another few notches this afternoon. Bit miffed as my radishes wi now go dry and peppery :'(
But if I complain about good weather I will get slaughtered!
Yesterday lovely, Today wall to wall blue sky. The sun has definitely got his hat on.
I think my sweet corn grew several inches taller yesterday. ;D
Loving the sunshine ;D Hip hip.....

Mine too - poor things they have some catching up to do :)
The sun is gorgeous but, surprisingly (and I'm not complaining), it doesn't seem so hot that its uncomfortable.
Some how, after all the damp chill & grey, I thought the warmth would be a bit of a shock to the system.
Hot, hot, hot. 8) 8) 8)
Scorchio ! 8)
Breakfast on the patio - keep this sunshine coming :) :) :)
The heat woke me up this morning... Hot stuff ;)
;D
Scorcherooney. 8) 8) 8)
usual dull cloudy day with a hint of rain in the air. after three summers like this, I am seriously considering moving, it is really getting to me. Tomorrow I am going to jump in my car and go try and find the sun somewhere.
Moan over. :( :( :(

Keep going south until you hit the coast. Supposed to be nudging up towards 30
oC down south.
Out with the watering can. Who's complaining? Not me ;)
yesterday somerset, 32 in the shade and the sensor is accurate, sky was very blue all over and I had to put shading up. I think today could well be hotter.
tbh, it is too hot for me, I like 20
Its raining here and all yesterday, :'(
stamps foot! its not fair.
x sunloving
Nuneaton........Glorious. 8) Hope it lasts a few weeks as we are off to Hemsby for 2 weeks next Friday.
Don't you just love the English climate?
Washed-out / drowned - baked / burnt but it really is a source of conversation. ;)
Well last night I looked at all the weather charts to see if there was anywhere getting full sun. We came up with Dunbar in East Lothian. I found the sun boys and girls!!!! it was shining in Dunbar. then onto Eyemouth then Berwick on Tweed, sun all the way. and yes, when we got home sun was shining. I am happy today. Rain forecast tomorrow. :( :(
Hottest day of the year so far, in my book!
Hubby umpired in it, son batted and bowled in it, daughter sunbathed in it and I knitted in the shade ;D
A lovely day with the family, with a little rest from the garden and the plots.
Ninny
Was very hot, but so nice to sit in the garden and read a book :)
Sorry to mention for those who have not been getting it. But we have had wall to wall sunshine for 5 solid days and it has not rained since last Friday. A real heatwave.
I think everything in the garden has more or less doubled in size.

You are so right!!
What a contrast it has been but today.........
the sun's worn out and the damp grey is back but not to stay (I'm sure ??? )
Hot and Sunny all week, 8) in the high 80's the last few days but a gloomy cloudy day today so far warm and sticky though, I've got a day off so I'm off to the lottie later. :D
Dry and sunny for the last 8 days :o It's been fantastic 8) ;D
A bit cloudy this afternoon, I think our forcast is for a dry day tomorrow and then rain, rain and a bit more .... rain.
Rochford Essex. Just been caught over the lottie in a really nasty downpour complete with thunder lightening and hailstones!. Thought I might catch a shower or two today but nothing like I experienced. Not too good in storms and as my plots are the far end of the site I didn't have time to pack up and leave before the heavens opened. Luckily two other plot holders were making their way back to their plot and took shelter with me. Once it calmed down I made a hasty retreat for home. Such a shame as this morning was very pleasant and I was set to spend the day having a potter about. Ah well there is always tomorrow :P
Thunder, Lightening and hailstones are crashing down here at the moment. :o
Gloomy with some showers today. :'(
Nice morning despite the weather forecast; drizzle this afternoon. Lifted a bagful of Pentland Javelin, which is surprisingly good, despite having been underwater a few weeks ago.
It has rained and is grey and overcast.... summer gone already? ???
ShOwErS :(
After torrential downpours it's once again looking like August April. ::)
Same as you Aden....I've got baby brassica plants that really need to be outside getting used to the real world before I transplant them to their final growing positions but the rain is just too erratic & heavy to risk them being outside unless I am at the house & can whip them in to safety ::) The rain here in Kent is falling with the weight of heavy hailstones :o it actually does hurt when it hits you!!!! xJane
We've just had a monster downpour AGAIN, kiboshed any chance of weeding for the rest of the day, all the lower leaves of stuff splashed up with mud, my hardy annual patch looking very broken down and sorry......I like rain as a rule but even I have had enough this year.
somerset and really hard torrential and sudden showers, I had to dash out and lower the poly greenhouse doors, left them unzipped but would rather they were airy as they are full of tomatoes.
Sun, wind, drizzle, downpour. Quite warm but otherwise more like april should have been but wasn't.
We've had a nice Sunny day today, a bit of cloud, wind and the odd 2 minute mini shower, but that apart the Sun has done us proud today, and is still out as I type. 8)
Could do with a bit more sun... hoping the washing dries before the next lot of rain. Overnight would do nicely.
North Yorkshire: beautifull day. Did of lot of weed killing. At this moment: thunder and very, very heavy rain!
This morning lovely a Sunny day and OH cut the grass
Then it came over all dark and p#ssed down
Sun came out and I went to the lottie and worked shirtless
Rain came again as I was heading home
The Suns shining at the mo and the washings out. 8) :-\ ??? ::)
Yesterday it piddled rained a lot on and off so my trip to the plot was a wet one.
Today, when I couldn't get away, it's lovely and warm - sunny too! ::)
sunny and hot and am not taking any chances no re blight as we are due to be wet for days. I took the last remaining leaves off today as I am more than happy with the good yield. They have had several hours for the cuts to dry
A beautiful day, not too hot but warm enough to have a BBQ this evening. Chicken breasts with orange zest and lavender flowers, pork burgers, home-made containing sweet chilli sauce served with a green salad. Scrummy :P
Ninny
Dull but very warm, wind and heavy rain is forecast pm-wind is starting to get up
looks like a nasty day on the way.
My pumpkin is currently being watered. Or perhaps it is the monsoon again.
Yesterday turned out gorgeous in the afternoon, windows and doors open, lovely :)
Today, not nice at all, very windy and lots of rain, quite a few very heavy showers.
It's summer here.... hot and sunny!!
Brilliant.
30 degrees yesterday and going to be a tad hotter today, lovely sunshine in the daytime but a real fecker to sleep at nights. 8) 8) 8)
Too hot for me, but the raspberries are looking good. Picked some runner beans yesterday, but midday was very hot. Tomorrow should be good, temperature a bit lower. At least all the washing dried. Maybe a bit of watering at the lovely allotment this evening if it cools down. Hope it is sunny in Birmingham for the open day.
Lovely sunshine after a dull start.
A rare day off and out... went up to Midhurst... saw the polo ponies, had coffee and locally made ice-cream and walked.
It looks like another grey start, not raining so far this morning. Last 2 days have been wet with a some sunshine late afternoon.
Damp start here in Oxford this morning and breezy.
I't's been chucking it down all morning, good old British Bank Holiday Weather!
A dry Bank Holiday morning but now, just after 3pm, it's started spitting.
I could have done with another few hours to get my parents washing dry.
(So nice of my sister to leave it for me every Sunday when she pays her 3 hour visits.) :(
Oh come on , we had it down to 2 degrees c last night. The wettest spring on record, followed by the wettest summer on record followed by frost in august.
Bugger, although i did bring in a load of summer pots into the greenhouse yesterday so didnt lose any tender stuff, except maybe the black eyed susan.
Very difficult to plan things.
x sunloving
Warm and cloudy at Paradise Park, Broxborn today. ;D
Not a bad temperature today here near Oxford but a few showers around.
Very hot and Sunny today, I'm sunbathing in the back garden and have just come in for a breather. 8) 8) 8)
Think I will put my feet in the grandkids paddling pool, got a bit of a headache as 3 hours at the allotment was a bit much today. Loads of lovely raspberries, and figs from my Italian friend. I am honoured, the only person that can take apples from his allotment, but I don't. He won't take anything in return, not even my lovely raspberries. Sorry a bit off topic again, must be the heat.
Lovely day here, warm and sunny- my first day back at work after 10 days' holiday. >:(
Another hottie here today, clouded over after 2 but still warm at the mo. 8) 8) 8)
Tuesday was lovely - felt like the middle of a proper summer after the chill of the previous days. Still warm now at 2 in the morning.
Feels like a winters night here. Wind blowing, rain doing that constant leaky, just there thing. Cold.
Mrs was talking about drinking mulled wine earlier!
Nice and Sunny all week. 8) 8) 8)

Rain started about 9.35 am and as been raining most of the day and evening. Badly needed here as ground like concrete.
It has been another sunny day but cool 12c here in the Scottish Borders, but ready for the onslaught of the rain and gales as forecast. :BangHead:
Very wet today and not complaining as we haven't had a really good soaking of the earth for a good while.
It will make the turning of the soil easier before the winter manure layer goes on.
Ninny
It's pouring down here in Birmingham. So much rain that my wimpy dog Graham will NOT want to go for a walk in it and I will have to pick him up and put him outside in the garden otherwise he won't 'go' all day!
I will have to go and feed the cats at the allotment, they don't seem to be bothered by awful weather.
Grey Grim and Miserable here and rain all night water butts overflowing.
Gutted this morning.....such heavy rain last night some of my Kale plants almost broken off completely through stems....not sure they will recover as we are forecast heavy rain for the rest of the week, they were over 2 feet tall & looking so healthy on Saturday. Horrible Horrible year for growing veggies this year :(
North Kent - heavy rain all day yesterday but was welcome as I had just finished putting guttering around my allotment shed to collect water into a 500 gallon container
Been in Hartleppol all weekend and not a drop of rain, come home to the rain yesterday and its still drizzling today. :coffee2:

I've just noticed I am starting to get webbed feet. good luck to those with flood warnings. I live on the site of an old windmill which must have been the highest part of the town, but the lawn is still slightly flooded. Force ten forecast for tonight, so I think I will give the fishing a miss.
Cold here in the North West, its dry at the moment and overcast but looks like rain is on the way.
The River Ribble looks high, but no flooding as yet
