The official winter rain, wind, snow and ice thread 2023/24

17.1 degrees indoors here, just outside Edinburgh.

Good lord. Even by your own high standards that is magnificent.

I turned mine to manual and just click it on when I feel cold. Has a few days without it but am hovering over the button. Plus it's raining, again.

Yep.

Can confirm - it was damn close, but no firing up today!

It was lovely and warm in west Cumbria today, I was walking round in shorts and t-shirt after driving to the shops with the windows down. It's still 11 degrees outside.

I mean, it’s a wonderfully finished house in an incredible location, but ‘offers over £425k’ for that makes me feel a lot better about what I’ve just paid for my Hampshire bungalow

Been a rare week for sure (I'm about 15m south of GC).
Although a balmy 1.5° Monday night it's been over 20 and bright sunshine every day since

At the very real risk of being ridiculed, is that chart basically saying it’s going to be hotter (lower in some places) than the historical average ?

(Edit - just read the actual headline above the chart…. So yes

Right. Time to go and get my factor 50 sun cream out!

Finally a sunny day, bliss.


Don't want to jinx it but I've been running the aircon for a few hours to test it for the summer and cleaned the BBQ.
