When are we going to start dragging that in our direction!?

Nothing in the forseeable future - just Atlantic muck.


Enjoy today, top up that vitamin D

Properly sick of this now… whenever I open my weather app, theres just nothing to get remotely excited about 10 days out. Right now my biggest excitement is the chance of a low of 10c on Thursday.

Ditto, (poor me I know) got home from my ski trip on Saturday, and that's always pretty depressing but I usually take that as the start of spring back at home so at least that'll cheer things up. No sign if that being the case now.

There are early indications of a pattern change towards Easter, but that is too far out for any certainty. Potential for something settled - but low probability at this point.

It's hope, not a forecast.

I'll take anything right now, so even that glimmer will do.

Agreed. The fields at the back of the house are very soggy indeed. It’s not a real complaint, as I’d take having a lot of rain now to avoid issues later in the year and over summer.

What a stunning day it was too! Took every opportunity I could to be outside. Wont be doing that today.

We beat our solar panel energy generation record yesterday (installed mid-Sept last year). Put 15kWh back in to the grid!

The glimmer is strengthening... Good hope for the week running up to Easter...

Ooh, just lovely. Especially with what seems like oppressive rain today.

To put that in my world Puggit, you generated the equivalent of 3 days usage in my house!

I'm desperately trying not to get my hopes up too much about a holiday in Scotland next week...

Understandable, but what do you think the weather is going to be like :-)

We haven't booked accommodation yet, very much hedging our bets.

Rain would be a safe bet, the only variable being how heavy

[Puggit]

Improving picture remains in place - but not a knock out picture.

ie better than the dross we've had but rain remains a risk while it gets somewhat sunnier.

Pretty much the first time all winter I've not had to help my UFH in my office by turning on the oil rad, so things must be warming up.

Yes, first time our heating (set to 18.5) has not turned on in the morning.

We have also generated more leccy on our roof today than all day yesterday.

Chance of some spiky thunderstorms in M4/A303 area later today. Can't rule out a funnel or two.

Another horrible day in rain lashed Scotland.
It’s apparently 13c but there’s no wind so I’m wearing a T-shirt having lunch on the deck in the sunshine.

I bloody love working from home!

Amen to that. Cannot wait for it to warm up and get back to working in the garden
